Intercessory Prayer is repetitive and consistent prayer whereby we plead with God on behalf of others in need. We pray for the intentions of our Archdiocese, our Priests and our Parish. We pray for those intentions that are left on the parish phone line, website, those in the prayer request basket and in the Church bulletin.
On a larger scale we pray for city, state, country and world situations.
Who can be a prayer intercessor?
We are not looking for perfect prayer warriors. Our prayers are simple and to the point. But if in your heart you feel called to pray for a family member, friend or stranger who is sick, hurt or troubled then maybe the Holy Spirit is calling you to Intercessory Prayer. If group prayer is not your cup of tea then perhaps you could pray for the intentions at home. As a home intercessor you would include the intentions as part of your daily prayers. However, there is something special about raising our voices in unison to our Lord. So at least give it some consideration.
We meet every Monday at 7 PM in the rectory chapel. We hope to see you soon.
