O most gracious Lord Jesus:
To redeem an undeserving humanity
You gave up everything you had.
In your mercy, grant us the grace
of despising all things but you
and your love
That we may know the joy
you brought to us
through your dolorous Passion
and Death,
Who live and reign in might and bliss
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
One God, in everlasting glory.
I’m in.
Please continue to pray for all who use the Religion Forum.
Godspeed.
Thanks for your prayers.
Absolutely I shall, thank you for the ping as I was unaware of this thread.
Amen.
Lord, bless this unique forum and grant it the gift of charity, and the gift of fortitude.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Thanks, annalex.
I could use me some fortitude.
Pray the Rosary for families and the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Please pray for all police officers.
For those who are away, may they return with changed hearts and attitudes.
More prayers are needed on the Religion Forum again.
for what exactly?
That all posters can let special days like Christmas and Easter go by without bashing others with their postings.
It’s time for some more prayers for the Religion Forum. There seems to be a group of antagonists present. Whatever one side says — they will say the opposite.
Pray!
Okay. I will add it to my intentions.
It’s sad.
Yes, very sad that all Christians cannot join together against the evil modern world.
Time to pray for the Religion Forum again.
Praying for some posters who are more tyrannical than sensible and Christian-minded, treating all people equally.
