I am leading a yearly food drive, were the donations are delivered to a local children’s shelter “Jesus El Nazareno” in Isabela, Puerto Rico. I humbly ask you please pray for these children, the success of this non- profit organization, for me to have the wisdom to know how to exploit all potential sources and that the donors have a generous heart. Thanks.
 
Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Prayers and Intercessions
Christ feeds and cares for the Church, for which he gave his very self. And so we pray:
– Lord, look after your Church.

Blessed are you, shepherd of your Church, because today you give us light and life:
make us truly grateful for such wonderful gifts.
– Lord, look after your Church.

Look kindly on the flock you have gathered in your name:
let no-one perish from the flock your Father has given you.
– Lord, look after your Church.

Lead your Church along the path of your commandments:
may the Holy Spirit keep her faithful to you.
– Lord, look after your Church.

By the feast of bread and the Word, give life to your Church:
nourish her and give her the strength to follow you with joy.
– Lord, look after your Church.
 
May the Lord hear and answer your prayers for these children and the food drive. May there be many generous souls to help you raise money for this good cause. May you know where to look for help and find it. Amen.

Beloved Friend,

First of all, I would love to be there to help out. I would hug every child and you. I am grateful for people like you who want to make a difference in people’s lives. I will gladly pray for success. ❤️ Love you, Sheila ❤️

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope.**
**To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To Thee do we send up our sighs mourning
and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
Thine Eyes of Mercy toward us,
and after this our exile show us the
Blessed Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us O Holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. **
 
May God send you generous donations and may He bless you and your food drive. 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.
 
Just wanted to give an update.

This is a three month campaign that lasts until August. So far, I will be delivering almost 300lbs of food this Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Next deliveries will be early August and September.

Thanks for praying for this children’s shelter and the success of this campaign.
 
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. Amen.

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.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
 
I will pray a rosary for the success of this project and for the children it seeks to help. God bless :cool:

Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Prayers and Intercessions

Let us bless Christ the Lord, whose compassion wipes away the tears of those who weep. In loving supplication let us call on him:
– Lord, take pity on your people.

Christ and Lord, consoler of the lowly,
take notice of the tears of the poor.
– Lord, take pity on your people.
 
Just an update. The total amount of food collected was 693lbs that was used to restock the food pantry to a children’s shelter on August 31, 2011. Thanks for your prayers.
 
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.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.
