Daily Prayer of the Month (September)
Heavenly Father,
We pray that employers and employees treat each other honestly and fairly. Please bless grandparents and their role in the raising of children and grandchildren. As our children go back to school, we beseech you on behalf of teachers and staff to lead them well. We implore you for an end to abortion and for your wisdom to eradicate disease. All of us ask for your help in ending wars and for those affected by war. We appeal to the five Doctors of the Church to guide us in our lives. We recognize the Archangel Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael in your plan for our salvation. We honor the Blessed Virgin Mary on her Nativity and as Our Lady of Sorrows as we recall her seven key sorrows. We acknowledge the Exaltation of the Holy Cross commemorating the discovery of the True Cross by St. Helena and the subsequent dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on the spot where it was found. We ask these in Jesus’ name
Amen
