Saint Eugene’s Prayer Group

Members of the Saint Eugene Prayer Group commit to offering these intentions daily in their own manner of prayer. All members of OMI Lacombe Canada are highly encouraged to actively pray for the requested intentions.

Week 14
April 2, 2024

As a community, we pray

For these brothers and sisters, their communities, their families and those who love them and those who provide for their care:

  • For young Nodin in Ontario who is facing multiple difficulties in life and at school. We pray for his well-being on all counts.
  • Prayers for RD, in Toronto, who is facing serious health issues. We pray for healing and strength for him and his family.
  • For Bernadette, requesting prayers because of a bad fall. We pray for her recovery.
  • For Tess C, who fell and broke her hip and underwent hip replacement surgery. We pray for healing and peace for Tess, at the tender age of 98.

For our Oblate family:

  • For the generous ‘yes’ of men to an Oblate life and of men and women to Oblate Association.
  • We pray for all Oblates and Oblate Associates who are living with, or recovering from illness. May Saint Eugene intercede for these brothers and sisters in their healing.

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.

Saint Eugène’s Good Friday Prayer: 

Never was my soul more satisfied, never did it feel such happiness; for in the midst of this flood of tears, despite my grief, or rather through my grief, my soul took wings for its last end, towards God its only good whose loss it felt so keenly.

Saint Eugène de Mazenod, Retreat Journal, December 1814, O.W. XV n.130″

ADD OUR VOICES TO YOUR INTENTIONS … SUBMIT YOUR PRAYER REQUEST. 

EMAIL: prayers@omilacombe.ca. All emailed intentions (received by Monday noon ET) will be acknowledged and added for communal prayer for two weeks. Please consider brevity and form, as in the following example: For whom, from where, for what, other.  Example: For John S, in Fort Simpson, who is undergoing cancer treatment. We pray for the complete remission of his cancer.

Privacy and Confidentiality: All requests are confidential to the prayer group and the Members’ section of OMI Lacombe Canada’s website. To facilitate confidentiality, we ask that you use first names, (understanding that prayers are being sought for a specified person for a specific reason), and the initial of the last name, only if necessary, in your prayer requests. While prayer members protect each other’s’ privacy as normal practice, please pay special attention to respect the privacy of all those non-members for whom we pray.  Confidentiality is of utmost importance and is adhered to at all times by members, volunteers and staff in Prayer Ministry at OMI Lacombe Canada.

The Environment: We urge you to save paper by viewing these pages on your screen/monitor. If you cannot read the intentions comfortably and must print the sheets, consider printing in “grey scale” to conserve ink. At the Foot of the Cross Prayer intentions are emailed weekly on Tuesdays to Prayer Group members and published on Wednesday as Prayer Corner, on the OMI-Lacombe website’s Members Section (UserID and Password required).
