Your Prayer Ministry

Prayerfulness is deeply a part of you: in body, mind and spirit.

Your Prayer Ministry

There are many ways to minister to others in your church or community, to give our time and service to others following the example of our Lord (Jn 13:15). Prayer is a ministry we all can undertake, both as a daily spiritual exercise and as a deep expression of love.

No need to sign up, or register: pray for those in need of our prayers, for the recently deceased and their families; for the Church, the world and your family and neighbours; and especially offer a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to our God, who is Love.

Through our baptism and the grace of the Holy Spirit we are members of the Mystical Body of Christ. Christ is our Head and Mediator. In this Community of Prayer we pray for each other, and we pray to the saints. The saints in turn pray for us. Thank God for the abundant blessing that so many are prayed for, and so many pray for you.

We are blessed with a host of special devotions to follow in our prayer life: to the Blessed Trinity, to Our Lord, to Our Lady, to a favourite saint, maybe a special Novena, maybe a deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. As we pray we can include all those in need, and “all the faithful departed”.

As you set aside time for prayer, remember to pray for yourself, and especially to give thanks for all the blessing in your life. Your devotion to the Lord brings profound goodness to you, and will also enrich those you meet and pray for each day. Pray for the Lord’s presence and peace.
