Prayer Corner
‘At the foot of the Cross:’ Saint Eugene’s Prayer Group

Week 4
January 25, 2023

As a community, we pray for:

Oscar Pauwels, OMI who died on January 22 in Vancouver. Fr. Oscar was born in Belgium and spent most of his ministry in the Diocese of Whitehorse. Oscar’s obituary and funeral arrangements will be forwarded in the coming days. We pray for his family, his Oblate family, and all who mourn his loss.

Oblate Frs. Mike McCarthy, and Terry Conway, who are experiencing health issues.

Leo Roth, nephew of Fr. Ron Zimmer and cousin of Brian Zimmer, who died last Friday. Leo was the oldest of the Zimmer cousins and had childhood polio. He struggled with his physical disabilities during his life and remained creative and positive – an inspiration to all who knew him.

Steve R, who died suddenly on the weekend. We pray for his family and all those who love him.

We continue to pray for:

All those in our community and families who are ill and have asked for our prayers. We also pray for those who love them, and those who care for their needs. We pray especially for Jean Belanger, H.OMI, Eileen and Reb Materi, Klaus, Frs. Edmond Paradis, Bill McDonald, Paul Fachet, Roy Boucher, and Fred Groleau; 5-year-old Rylee, and her family, as she battles leukaemia; Lil Cook, Ethan and family, Bella, Rosie, Tanya, Colleen and Rose.

Andrea and her journey to recovery from drug addictions.

Ashley and Micah, who struggle with personal issues.

The generous ‘yes’ of men to an Oblate life and of men and women to Oblate Association.

We continue to pray for our Metis, Inuit and First Nations brothers and sisters.

We continue to pray for the people of Ukraine.

We pray for реасе and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for аІІ those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or реасе,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above аІІ, we pray for аІІ your precious children, at-risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Реасе.
Amen.
