PETITIONS FOR THE FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER – MAY 10, 2020
ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHURCH
We honor our mothers and women who show a mother’s love. May their
sacrifice and commitment sow faith and love in the hearts of the young.
We lift up deacons and religious and others who serve Christ in parishes,
schools and wherever there is an opening—that they be filled with the Holy
Spirit.
We pray for the dedicated people who provide essential services and
medical care. We stand with them acknowledging God’s grace working
through them.
We lift up the unemployed and those laid off. May there be quick
resolution to technical glitches that delay vital payments.
We lift up graduates. May their vision for the future be grounded in a faith that keeps their hearts untroubled.
For all who have died, particularly our mothers: that God will welcome
them into the peace and joy of God’s presence forever.
Paul Witte
