The Diocese of Saitama currently has no bishop. There is a rumor that he resigned due to alcoholism. Whatever the situation may be, please pray for him and for our diocese to get a bishop. Currently the archbishop (I think of Tokyo) is currently serving as diocesan administrator, but apparently he is overwhelmed with duties.

Additionally, I would appreciate prayers for the pastor of my parish, and the other priest I encounter occasionally who is residing at a nearby parish, both of whom are also serving at other churches in the diocese. I think it would in particular be good if the former would stop taking liberties with the liturgy and become more orthodox, and for the latter to quit smoking.

I suppose prayers would also be good for our seminarians, and for an increase in vocations, and for myself (I am wondering whether God is calling me to the priesthood, although my debt currently prohibits it).
 
My dear patron Fathers, especially my dear Lord Ullathorne, please pray for all mentioned.
 
Praying for the intentions of the Diocese of Saitama & its’ members.
 
PRAYER FOR A SPECIAL INTENTION

Jesus, my Lord and my God, I worship you and adore you. Lord, you have said, “Your Father and Mother may abandon you, but I will never abandon you. “

I believe in you and so I surrender all fears, anxieties and worries into your hands. Lord, I believe in your eternal love. Cover me with your love and let me experience your grace. I pray for all of my intentions. If you will, Lord, and if it will be for my goodness, I humbly pray that you may grant me my request. 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.

Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense 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 thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

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.

†

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.

Intercessory Prayers for Priests and Bishops

For the leaders of the Church:
that they may be given wisdom
and a sense of justice to speak the words of life
to a world overshadowed by a culture of death;
We pray to the Lord:

*Lord hear our prayer. *

For the bishops and priests of our Church:
that by their commitment to the innocent child,
the Gospel of Life might be preached
in each of our churches;
We pray to the Lord:

*Lord hear our prayer. *

For bishops,
who seek to guide Catholic politicians in the ways of truth:
that by their example and their words
they might witness the Gospel of Life;
We pray to the Lord:

*Lord hear our prayer. *

Lord, we, Your people, rely on our priests
and bishops for guidance.
We humbly ask you to give them
Your strength and Wisdom
so they can lead us in truth and mercy.

Through Christ Our Lord, amen.
