SUNDAY MASS FROM ST ANNE'S CHURCH, OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL PARISH

PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

Today we prayed, “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.” Let us approach our Good Shepherd with our needs.

  1. In this time of Lent, may we resolve to walk in the light of Christ by faithfully following Christ’s teaching.
    Lord hear us
  2. The man born blind was rejected by others for professing his faith in Jesus the Christ. May we persevere in our faith by living as Christ taught.
    Lord hear us
  3. We pray for government and Church leaders will be given wisdom to make good decisions to control the Coronavirus to support those suffering financially and for those working in health care.
    Lord hear us
  4. May all people support each other by sharing the resources of our world to bring healing to the sick and maintain the health of others.
    Lord hear us
  5. May we develop our personal prayer life in our homes to give us peace and comfort during the worrying time of the pandemic.
    Lord hear us

THE EUCHARIST

Holy Thursday was not that long ago (18th April….) so now might be a time to reflect on it’s effect 2000 years after the Last Supper.


I feel that right now belonging to the Church is like belonging to a footy team that hasn’t won more than a handful of games in the past couple of decades. We all get together still and sing the team song and remember the past and hope for the future and rejoice in the now while we wonder where everyone has gone. The Eucharist is like that. It is still the Truth.
