My congregation may be facing the loss of our pastor as another congregation is requesting him to be their pastor. It is really odd how it works, but we may be without a pastor for a while as it is difficult to recruit pastors to our rural area, if he leaves.

Please pray for wisdom for everyone involved and that the best decisions are made.

Thank you and God Bless!

I really didn’t even know that could happen. I need to read up on this sort of thing; the concept seems interesting, though, also silly that the diocese should leave your parish without. I’m praying for your intentions!

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother; to thee do we come; before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen.
 
***Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father,
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
 
Better still, I’ll pray that you and all of our unfortunately separated brothers in the Protestant world return to full unity with the Catholic Church and are sent a holy priest who can forgive your sins and transform bread and wine into the very Body and Blood of Christ…

:signofcross:

Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur Nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Father,
As Your Son was raised on the Cross,
His Mother Mary stood by Him,
Sharing His suffering.
May she, who is also our spiritual Mother and Patroness of Heaven,
Help us to find renewed strength at the Cross of Christ
And so come to share in His rising to new life
Where He lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.

I should have noted I am Lutheran, sorry for the confusion. Yes, it is weird, and even weirder the synod publishes the calls (aka requests) churches make before the pastor even decides and then when the decision is made, they publish that too. This is all on a weekly basis, and I usually don’t even look, but I found out about our pastor because my aunt thought she recognized his name on the current list. So my mom and I are probably the only ones who are aware of his possible leaving. It is quite awkward.

Thank you all for the prayers… It is difficult for me personally because the pastor we had during my childhood was unapproachable and the past few years have been the first time I’ve had a spiritual director of sorts to go to.
 
Lord, please grant help for this congregation through angelic ministry. Leave them not orphans from spiritual guidance. Grant them all many graces for joy, fortitude, courage, magnanimity, and humility. Lead them toward the heavenly garden, now unto eternity. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Almighty God we praise you and we adore you.
I pray that this parish gets a new Pastor who is capable to replace the existing one and that the one leaving goes with God’s blessings.
I pray this in the name that is above all other names rhe precious name of JESUS.

Jesus, our Good Shepherd, You provide us with earthly shepherds to guide us to the Truth. Please guide everyone involved in this possible change in our congregation with wisdom, that the best decisions will be made. Provide us with guidance and patience during this time of uncertainty and do not leave us spiritual orphans for a prolonged time if our current pastor decides to take this new call. In Your name, Amen.
