Week 32

August 11, 2025

As a community, we pray

  • Fr. Vaughan Quinn, OMI

    † For the repose of Fr. Vaughan Quinn, OMI who died in Ottawa on August 2, 2025.  We pray for Vaughan and the members of his Oblate community at Springhurst, his sister Martha and other members of his family and his many friends.

  • For Fr. Oliver Rich, OMI who continues rehabilitation at Bruyere following a recent fall that resulted in a fractured hip. We pray that Ollie may have a speedy recovery and healing.
  • For Allison and Darren to Saskatchewan who were in a motorcycle accident in North Dakota this week. They both have broken legs and have had surgery but will require more once they return home. We pray for their speedy recovery.
  • For Megan and Grant in southern Saskatchewan who are expecting their second baby. This is a high-risk pregnancy because of medical issues. We pray that the Lord grant them a safe and healthy birth.
  • For Grant and Allison in the Regina area. These siblings are going through a very stressful time. We pray for Jesus’ gentle mastery to nurture and guide them and their loving families during these times.

Pope’s Prayer Intention for the month of August: For mutual coexistence:

Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious or ideological reasons.

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.

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 has begun cancer treatment. We pray for the remission of his cancer and his perseverance.

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).
