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 13

March 31, 2025

As a community, we pray

  • For Don in Windsor who is in much pain due to cancer. We pray that the Lord will soothe Don’s suffering and strengthens Margaret as she courageously cares for him.
  • For Sebastian from Kelowna who is undergoing multiple, difficult surgeries for a painfully shattered knee. We pray for this young man’s speedy healing and for the Lord’s whisper of comfort in his ear as Sebastian heals and recovers.
  • In praise and thanksgiving, for the ordination of David Ojiambo, Charles Okeyo, and Stephen Wekesa of the Kenya Mission. We pray that the Lord will bless and protect David, Charles and Stephen as they take this important step in their faith journey.
  • For Charlene Patriquin, in very serious condition in the Calgary Foothills Hospital, recovering from the house fire that took her husband Mark’s life and their family home. We pray for Charlene’s healing and recovery, for the repose of Mark, and for her family as they grapple with this tragedy in their lives. May the Lord comfort and console them.

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for April

Let us pray that the use of new technologies will not replace human relationships, will respect the dignity of the person, and will help us face the crises of our times.

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).
