… and for his family.

Jeff has been in prison for 18 years. Today and tomorrow (2/24 & 2/25/10), there is a critical hearing on his case. Please join me in prayer that God minister to Jeff and to his family throughout this time, that God will guide the witnesses to speak the truth, and the attorneys and the judge the wisdom to rightly present and judge the case. And may all those who suffer as a result of crime - victims, families, etc. - be comforted and strengthened.

If you belong to a prayer group or if you use Twitter or Facebook, please ask your faith community to join with us in prayer as well.

There is a beautiful prayer for prisoners here: goo.gl/fb/EKPA.

May God’s will be done!

Thank you, and God bless you!
 
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
 
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 death.
Amen.
 
" The regal dark mysterious crossin a song is lifted high,
The wood on which our God was raised, as man against the sky.

Upon this wood His body bore the nails, the taunts, the spear,
till water flowed with blood to wash the whole world free of fear.

At last the song that David sang is heard and understood:
" Before the nations God as King, reigns from His Throne of
wood ".

This wood now spread with purple wears the pagentry of kings;
of chosen stock it dares to hold on high his tortured limbs.

Oh blessed tree, upon whose arms the world’s own ransom
hung; His body pays our debt and life from Satan’s grasp is wrung.

O Sacred Cross, our steadfast hope in this our passion tide,
through You the Son obtained for all forgiveness as He died.

May every living creature praise our God both one and three,
who rules in Everlasting Peace all whome His cross makes free."
Amen.

Lord, be merciful toward Jeff and help hm to be the man you want him to be. May he receive clemency from the judge at his hearing and have a new life in you. Amen.
 
Heavenly Father,

We pray for Jeff and the tens of thousands of men, women and teenagers held in our prisons today.

We pray for prisoners’ families: for their mothers, fathers, children, wives, and husbands. We pray that they will be given the strength to deal with the stigma and the pain of separation.

We pray that you will support and heal those who have been wounded by the actions of others, especially the victims of crime.

We pray for all those who work with prisoners: prison officers, probation workers, social workers, prison chaplains, charity workers, and volunteers.

Your Son Jesus Christ said, “I was in prison and you visited me… whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me”. Help us to remember these words in our hearts as we go forward Amen
 
NCSue,
I pray that Jesus ministers to Jeff’s soul during the time of his trial allowing him to speak the truth and for to feel at ease. I pray the witnesses will also tell the truth. WIth this all I pray in whatever the judge decides he has mercy on Jeff. In this I pray in Jesus’ name 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.
 
For Jeff,his family and all our brothers and sisters in prison and their families

PRAYER FOR
ANGELIC ASSISTANCE
Lord Almighty, Creator of all life,
Thank You for creating the angels.
As dedicated and faithful servants,
They instantly act upon Your commands.
Please direct Your angels to assist me,
Ensuring the accomplishment of Your work,
In accordance with Your Divine will.
Always rekindle my mind to remember
That Your angels are available to me
As restrainers of diabolic obstacles.
Thank You Lord for Your auspice!
Your kindness is infinitely good!

O Sacred Cross, our steadfast hope in this our passion tide,

May every living creature praise our God both one and three,
who rules in Everlasting Peace all whome His cross makes free."

Prayers for Hope and Comfort
Prayer Attributed to St. Augustine
Watch, dear Lord, with those who wake or watch or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend your sick ones, O Lord Jesus Christ, rest your weary ones, bless your dying ones, soothe your suffering ones, shield your joyous ones, and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Let Nothing Disturb You
Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.
God has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world. Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.
Amen.
(St. Teresa of Ávila)

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safe-guard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
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 by this confidence, I fly unto 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
