*To be an oblate is a “vocation,” a response to a call from God. It is a means of living a life of
reciprocal prayer and blessings, between a person in the world and the monastic who “left the world.”

Please Remember to Pray for...

• Your Parish, Diocese, Archdiocese, Jerri Cox, Tina Greer, Fr. David, Kh. Mona, Kh. Karen Kinnick, Barbara Myers, Gary Gillmore, Art Sill, Charlie and Alida Roth
  
  "O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brothers and sisters who are sick."

For a Priest

• 
  Jesus, eternal Priest, keep this thy Priest, now unknown to our parish family, within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may touch him. Keep unstained his anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body; keep unsullied his lips, purpled with Thy precious Blood; keep pure and unearthly his heart, sealed with sublime marks of Thy glorious priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround him, and keep him ever spotless from the world. Bless his labours with abundant fruit, and may they to whom he has ministered be here below with joy and consolation, and in heaven his beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.

For the Increase of Priests

• 
  O Almighty God, look mercifully upon Thy Church, and incline the hearts of many of her sons to offer themselves for the work of the sacred ministry; so that by their labors, Thy Light may shine in the darkness of the world, and the coming of Thy kingdom may be hastened by the perfecting of Thine elect.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

• Reminder
  
  There is a list left in the Narthex for parishioners to remember those who need our on-going intercessions to God. The list is picked up after the Office by one of the Acolytes so they can be remembered. Customarily their names are mentioned in the Mass. However, remembrances and intercessions now are moved to the announcements in our Communion Service.
