As a community, we pray
That the Lord will welcome into His Kingdom:
- Francois Joseph Marie Cueff, OMI who died in Lyon, France on January 18, 2024. We give thanks for Francois’ 42 years of ministry in Northern Canada and his nearly 70 years of religious life as an Oblate of Mary Immaculate. We pray that Francois will rest in eternal peace.
For these brothers and sisters, their communities, their families and those who love them and those who provide for their care:
- For Bev D of Ottawa who is dealing with recent major mobility challenges. We pray for her healing, discernment and acceptance.
For our Oblate family:
- For the generous ‘yes’ of men to an Oblate life and of men and women to Oblate Association.
For our Métis, Inuit and First Nations brothers and sisters.
Who is this that comes forth like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun…?
Song 6:10 (NCB)
O Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Guadalupe, intercede for us with your Son
That we who live in this land, Indigenous and non-Indigenous together,
May experience healing and reconciliation on a renewed journey of justice and peace for our children.
Mother of the Church, pray for us.
