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 25
June 17, 2024

As a community, we pray

That the Lord will welcome into His Kingdom

  • Deivanayagam Malaiyappan, who died June 12 in Chennai, India. He is the father of Fr. Vijay Deivanayagam, OMI. We pray for Vijay, his family and friends who are grieving at this time and pray that songs of the angels welcome Mr. Malaiyappan into new life with God.

For these brothers and sisters, their communities, their families and those who love them and those who provide for their care:

  • For James Shaw of Gibbons AB, father-in-law of Serena Shaw, who is in end-of-life care and has not been awake since Saturday. We pray for God’s gentle hand to guide James through this part of his journey and to strengthen and sustain those who love him.
  • For Fr. Edmond Paradis, OMI, who was transferred to the Riverside Health Centre Palliative Care unit last week. We pray for Edmond’s peaceful journey and we also pray for the solace of members of the Paradis family and his Oblate community of Taché District.

Prayer for Humility and Trust in Time of Uncertainty

  • God of Creation, you have taught us through your son Jesus, that – like the mustard seed – small beginnings can lead to great growth. Inspired by the life of St. Eugène and the examples of so many saints who started with small acts of faith, may we grow in humility, trusting always in You. Lord, in these times of uncertainty and discord may Your Word be our guide for hope in the Resurrection through our small and random acts of love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

For our Métis, Inuit and First Nations brothers and sisters.

Who is this that comes forth like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun…?
Song 6:10 (NCB)

O Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Guadalupe, intercede for us with your Son

That we who live in this land, Indigenous and non-Indigenous together,

May experience healing and reconciliation on a renewed journey of justice and peace for our children.

Mother of the Church, pray for us.

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).
