Prayers Needed for Rites

[Delaine75]

Hey, friends, I am asking for prayers. This Sunday is the Rite of Sending at my parish and when I was told that myself and another friend in my RCIA class will be getting up in front of the entire congregation to do this, my anxiety level went through the roof. Next Sunday is the Rite of Election that my friend and I will be attending, and I am also very nervous about that (I have social anxiety big-time!). I am very excited to be so close to the end of the RCIA journey and knowing that I will soon be baptized and confirmed into the Church, but sheesh! I have had social anxiety for many years now, so this is really nothing new. I’ve been praying extra hard about it, but could use all the extra prayers I can get! Thank you so much!

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.

The people are all on your side and will be very happy to welcome you.
When I see women and men bravely standing there for the rites, I always feel warm towards them and admire them for their courage and faith.
May the Lord’s Angels surround you and your RCIA friend as you stand before you new Catholic family

May our Lord give you his peace and fill your heart with so much joy that nothing - not even fear - can get the best of you. Amen.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

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