Peace & understanding upon the land

[HarringtonM]

Pray for peace as social unrest is upon the land at this time, many people now see the Church as part of the system that oppesses them; occupy protestors and others want to hear from Church leaders, if only they will come out among them an minister to them. An example is a building on Turk Street in San Francisco that was occurred by protestors who wanted to turn it into a community center. It is vacant and owned by the Catholic Church. The protesters hung a banner form the window, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass afasint us. Then the we’re arrested, one jumping out the 2nd story window where the banner had been hung. Understanding why they and many others are unhappy, can build bridges and bring peace. Instead of turning a back to them. Which only causes the unrest to continue. Maybe they protestors of today are similar to Barabas or the Good Theif, revolutionaries or petty law breakers. Pray church leaders will reach out to the people.

Lord, I pray for peace in the land. May our holy Catholic Church be respected and defended. May people love each other the way Christ has instructed them to.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Amen.

 

[Edmundus1581]

Gracious Lord, may your Holy Catholic Church be respected and trusted, and may it be an instrument of your peace, to all people great and small, to sinners and to saints! May we be your hands, your feet, your eyes and your heart.

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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

Jesus, in your resurrection be adored!
