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 pray for Lara Lopes Gomes, Phoeby O’Connor, Elias McAlister & Archie McGregor
who will be baptised this weekend at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, Caloundra.
We also pray for the souls of our deceased priests, religious and parishioners.
May they Rest in Peace.
