Prayer to St. Brigid

Brigid, You were a woman of peace.

You brought harmony where there

was conflict.

You brought light to the darkness.

You brought hope to the downcast.

May the mantle of your peace cover

those who are troubled and anxious,

and may peace be firmly rooted in our

hearts and in our world.

Inspire us to act justly and to

reverence all God has made.

Strengthen what is weak within us.

Calm us into a quietness that heals

and listens.

May we grow each day into greater

wholeness in mind, body and spirit.

Amen

For Our Military .. We

pray You keep them

safe, We pray You keep

them strong until you

send them safely home.

Bless those who wait

their safe return. Bless

those who mourn their

loss. Bless those who

serve this country and

preserve its freedoms.

God, Bless America!

Remember, O most loving

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 with this confidence,

we turn to you, O Virgins of

virgins, our Mother. To you we

come, before you we stand,

sinful and sorrowful. O Mother

of the Word Incarnate, do not

despise our petitions, but in

your mercy hear us and

answer us. Amen.

Rev. Joseph G. Bochenek, Pastor

Dear Lord, please bless our church

for we gather here to ask that You'll

prepare our hearts to hear your

message clear.

We pray our church will always be a

beacon to all who attend,

Proclaiming truth and righteousness

till Jesus comes again.

We gather as a family to hear the

Word of God, And we are always

blessed because we came. Our

fellowship and sweet communion fit

us for the task Of living to bring

honor to His Name.

Traditionally, the month of

November gives us pause to

ponder our own mortality as

well as remembering our

beloved who have gone before

us in faith. We remember

especially those members of

our parish family who have died

this past year. Their names are

ascribed beautifully in our Book

of Life and inspire us all to pray

for them and their families.

Book Of Remembrance

Walk With God by Ellen Baily

When you walk with God, you can do anything

It doesn't matter what problems life may bring

You may have your days of ups and downs

But if you call out, He'll be around

When you walk with God, your heart will sing

From the love and joy His presence brings

Your path will be clear, for He is the light

But you must walk with faith and not by sight

When you walk with God, you join a Holy Team

The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is what I mean

They will shower you with an abiding faith

And fill your heart with love and not with hate
