Week 24

As a community, we pray

  • For the new OMI-Lacombe Provincial Council. – We pray with thanks for Fr. Andrzej Stendzina, OMI, the Provincial Superior, and Councillors Fr. Susai Jesu OMI, Fr. Frank Kuczera OMI, Fr. Richard Beaudette OMI and Fr. Jack Herklotz OMI, and Serena Shaw as Lay Advisor for answering the call to leadership, and we pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit over their Council term.
  • For Don Robert who is suffering from a lot of back pain. May the gentleness of Jesus’ presence infuse in Don a sense of well-being.
  • For Sr. Nina Glinski who is recovering from hip replacement surgery and welcomes prayers for healing. We pray for Sr. Nina’s rapid and successful return to health.
  • For Lolita Walsh who had knee replacement surgery. We pray for Lolita’s full recovery.
  • For Erin Ryan who had a knee replaced recently and is now able to use a walker.  We pray for Erin’s rapid recuperation and return to full mobility.
  • For Myrna of Regina, whose health is in decline. We pray that that she may enjoy God’s comfort and peace in her remaining days with the reassurance of her family’s loving care.
  • For the repose of Frank Kosa, who passed away on June 8, 2025 in Regina. Frank is the brother of Fr. Ed Kosa OMI.  We pray for the Kosa Family and all those who seek the Lord’s consolation at this time of sorrow.
  • For Cec Buechler of Warman, Saskatchewan. Cec recently had serious, unplanned surgery. We pray that all goes well, and that his recovery will be a success so he may return home to his beautiful family.
  • For Suzanne Massie whose health continues to improve with post-surgical care. We pray that the Lord will grant Suzanne His tranquil and restorative graces as she heals fully.
  • For Marina L., from Edmonton, who is dealing with anxiety and depression. We pray that she may receive God’s healing and strength in her search for inner peace.

Pope’s Prayer Intention for the month of June: That the world might grow in compassion:

Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from his Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.

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.

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.
