Week 49
December 2, 2024

As a community, we pray

For these brothers and sisters, their neighbours and friends, their families and those who love them and those who provide for their care

  • We pray for the repose of Jeanne, who died November 17, 2024. She is the sister of Father Maurice Joly, OMI. We also ask the Lord to give comfort and consolation to the members of her family, especially Fr. Maurice, and all who mourn her passing.
  • For Bill F of Almonte, ON who has undergone bladder cancer surgery at the Ottawa Hospital and is resting and recuperating at home. We pray for Bill’s speedy recovery and for Jacquie his wife during this difficult time
  • For Stephanie Scott and family of Saskatchewan, as they mourn the recent passing of her father-in-law, Dan. May the Lord bring consolation and comfort to those who mourn Dan’s passing.
  • For Fr. Mike Favero of Vancouver Island who is once again undergoing cancer treatments. We pray that God’s love strengthens him and blesses his family and health care providers and surrounds him in the Lord’s healing light.

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for December

For Pilgrims of hope: We pray that this Jubilee Year strengthens our faith, helping us to recognize the Risen Christ in our daily lives, and that it may transform us into pilgrims of Christian hope.

A Prayer of Healing

O! Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, we ask for your intercession as the voice of the first peoples’ of our common homeland to help us protect our ecology, to care for Creation and to support each other in gratitude.

We pray that we, whether Indigenous or non-Indigenous, may draw from the example of your short faith-filled life, a profound hope in the Resurrection. May we strive for an authentic relationship of mutual respect, friendship and joy, as brothers and sisters, on a path of healing and reconciliation.

May your prayer ever be our prayer: “Jesos Konoronkwa”, Jesus, I love you.
