A Year of Yes Prayer
Today and every day I say Yes to you O Lord.
In the same way that Mary said yes to your invitation, I say Yes to your Son’s presence in my life.
May my yes, by the power of your Holy Spirit, allow you to use all the talents, skills and gifts you have given me for the purpose of building up Your Body in our community.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
On the Journey
We congratulate Varrow, Rufus & Tully McFarlane, Eden & Ivy Gold and Charles Anderson
who will be baptised at Our Lady of the Rosary Church and Sacred Heart Maleny this weekend.
We also pray for the souls of our deceased priests, religious and parishioners.
May they Rest in Peace.
