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 28
July 8, 2024

As a community, we pray

That the Lord will welcome into His Kingdom

  • Edmond Paradis who died on June 30, 2024. Edmond had been living with cancer for some time. We give thanks to God for Edmond’s life and faithful service as an Oblate, and we pray for him at this sacred time, as well as for Francois, Clemence, the Oblate community of the Tache District and all who grieve Edmond’s passing.
  • Anne Leschuk, aunt of Joanne Friedt, passed away peacefully in hospital in Thunder Bay on July 2, 2024. We pray for her eternal rest and for the consolation of Joanne, Anne’s family and all those who grieve her passing.

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

  • For Mary Cooke and her husband Anthony as the family investigates ways of moving Mary into a residence. We pray the move will be both soon and good so she will be safe and cared for.
  • For Joe DF whose condition continues to worsen in waiting to see a specialist. We pray for Joe’s patience and endurance and ultimate healing as he awaits the next stage in his health care journey.
  • For Jeff and Melissa in Western Canada, expecting their first child in the Fall. We pray for the graces needed for a healthy, happy pregnancy and birth.
  • For Nathan and Ashley as they seek new living arrangements this summer. We pray that they find places where life can flourish.
  • For S, a young man living with schizophrenia and addictions. We pray that he finds the help he needs and for his family who care deeply for him.
  • For Br. Harley Mapes, OMI as he awaits a more detailed prognosis and care plan after an initial diagnosis of colon cancer. We pray that God will bless Harley with strength and courage, and wrap him in the love and prayers of his Oblate family and friends.
  • For Donna Tessier who is in continuous pain after a fall and struggling to receive appropriate medical care. We pray that the Lord will grant Donna strength and that she may receive urgent medical attention and pain relief.
  • For B. & A. as they navigate painful days of a marriage separation. We pray for God’s grace to sustain them and for their eventual healing.
  • For Helen Keller, of Saskatchewan Oblate District and past employee of Queens House, who experienced post-surgical complications on July 7, requiring a blood transfusion. Her condition is now stable. We pray for Helen’s strength and speedy recovery.

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for July: For Pastoral Care of the Sick

  • We pray that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick confer to those who receive it and their loved ones the power of the Lord and become ever more a visible sign of compassion and hope for all.

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).
