PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
5th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
February 8 & 9, 2025 YEAR: C
Isaiah recognizes that he, also, was a man of unclean lips. The angel touched his lips with a live coal to make him clean. He was then able to answer the call from God, when he asked: “Who shall I send", with “Here am I, send me”.
Simon Peter also recognized at the “catch of fishes” that he was in the presence of the Lord who, in turn, told him he would be a “catcher of people” and not to be afraid.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.
For Pope Francis, and all the Church, trying to show us how to help our fellow men and women.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.
For world Leaders who will stand against others, others who are trying to take lands and resources.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.
For all the people who are out in the cold during this harsh winter, and those who are trying to help them.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.
For those who are sick in mind, soul, and body, especially Stephanie Taylor, Maureen Terhune, Ann Galloway, George Kelly, George Brown and Joe McVicar.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.
For all who have lost loved ones, know that the Lord has welcomed them into His loving arms. We especially remember Tim Murphy.
We pray: Here I am, Lord.

MINISTRIES:
LITURGY
LAY PRESIDERS:
Parishioners who lead the Assembly in prayer, chosen for their dedication to direct the celebration and to co-ordinate the companion ministries involved. Their sense of servanthood sets the mood, which is the basis for all genuine lay presiding.
LITURGY PREPARATION TEAM:
The team works to involve parishioners in both immediate and long-range ways... so learning and enjoyment are ongoing.
For more information contact Sandra McNeill 847-3611.
COMPOSING PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL:
This entails writing for the assembly, 3 or 4 times per year, those prayers that reflect the needs of the world and the parish community. Using the book At Home With The Word and following a "formula" for the prayers, the composer writes from his or her prospective with those prayers to which the assembly will respond.
For more information contact the parish at [email protected].
