Heavenly Father we thank you for revealing your son Jesus to us and through him, your fathership to us.  With a child's confidence, we place our heart's petitions in your hands.

For our Pope that His message of Peace & concern for the poor fills the world

For leadership in this country, that their policies allow people to live, grow and pray in freedom allowing mutual respect and understanding.

For those who are sick physically, emotionally or spiritually, the your healing touch will give courage to them, and if it be your will, restore them

For those returning to school this week, that the Lord provide a nurturing environment free from violence and filled with mutual respect

For those suffering violence in our country and around the world.
May we always have the courage to reflect the Peace that Jesus offers in our families, towns, and countries

For those whose lives have been touched by death, that the Lord provide his consolation and presence, and that our love for the ones who have left us continue to shine the love of our Father through our lives.

We offer our prayers through your son, Jesus the Christ .  Hear the prayers of your children and grant them through your love.

Please pray (let's storm heaven) for a miracle for Father Bob Crofut.  Father Bob (who is the Associate at St. Pius X Parish in Fairfield) has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing chemo treatments.  The tumor is too big to operate and they are attempting to shrink it through the treatments.  Let's pray for no side effects from his treatments and that he have peace of mind and heart as he undergoes his medical challenges.  We place him in the loving hearts of Jesus' and Mary and surround him with angels in human and spirit form.  Thank you.

God Bless!

 PAX - Pat Heile, OFS

Please pray for Steven Fitzpatrick, a resident at St. Joseph's Manor in Trumbull.  Steven has had MS for 30 years and underwent a new medical procedure this week for his MS.  Let's pray that this procedure was successful.

Please pray for Lorel Kelly who fell and injured her back and ankle.  Let's pray for a good test result for her MRI and healing of her injuries.

Let's pray for peace of mind and heart for both Steven and Lorel and their families as they undergo these medical challenges.  Thank you.

God Bless!

Dear Friends,

Please pray for my dad - AGAIN - he was rushed to Greenwich Hospital.  The Doctor thinks his left knee replacement hardware is infected. Dad is on an antibiotic drip right now as we speak.  

They are waiting for Dr. K to get out of surgery to determine what the next step will be.
