Please keep Fr. Pat Lafleur in your prayers as well. He is in the hospital.

I'm sure Bishop Poitras and all of our diocesan priests would appreciate our prayers.

Eternal Father, we lift up to you our Timmins diocesan priests

and all the priests of the world.

Sanctify them, heal them; guide them.

Mold them into the likeness and holiness of your son, Jesus,

the Eternal High Priest.

May their lives be pleasing to you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Elaine McLennan. Elaine passed away this morning (December 28,2020). She was a 24 year member of our CWL and you may remember that Elaine and Rose Anne looked after the candy table at our CWL Valentine Teas for years.

Merciful Father, hear our prayer and console us. As we renew our faith in Your Son, whom you raised from the dead, strengthen our hope that all our departed brothers and sisters will share in His resurrection, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May Elaine rest in peace. Amen

Please remember in your prayers, Jo-Anne Smith and her husband Percy Andrews. Joanne is a sister to Lynne Rowlandson, Holy Trinity CWL President. They passed away tragically last weekend after being accidentally overcome with Carbon Monoxide from their generator. Jo-Anne and Percy lived at Marsh Lake, Yukon. They have two sons and 3 grandchildren. Jo-Anne was the fifth of her family of fourteen and the first sibling to die and she will be greatly missed. She did visit Englehart a couple times and attended mass here on those occasions.

Jean Craik of New Liskeard, Our Mother of Perpetual Help parish CWL died Sunday December 20 at the Temiskaming Lodge.

Jean received her 65 year membership pin from our CWL council in December of 2019. She also received a Maple Leaf pin in 2003. She spent many many years on the executive of our parish CWL council as well as having positions on the Timmins Diocesan executive council.

We will surely miss Jean but know that she is in heaven - singing her little ditty songs and making many people happy with her presence and her joyful personality.

God our Father, your power brings us to birth, your providence guides our lives, and by your command we return to dust. Lord, those who die still live in your presence; their lives change but do not end.

I pray in hope for Jean Craik, and for all the dead known to you alone. In company with Christ, who died and now lives,

may they rejoice in your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. Unite us together again in one family, to sing your praise forever and ever. Amen. (from the book: Praying November: Prayers for Grieving and Remembering Loved Ones)

Blessed are you among women and blessed is

the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary,

Mother of God, pray for Betty and for all

of us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Perpetual light shine upon her. (3x)

PRAYER FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE

Hear our prayer today for all women, men, boys and girls

who are homeless this day.

For those sleeping under bridges, on park benches, in doorways or bus stations.

For those who can only find shelter for the night but must wander in the daytime.

For families broken because they could not afford to pay the rent.

For those who have no relatives or friends who can take them in.

For those who have no place to keep possessions that remind them who they are.

For those who are afraid and hopeless.

For those who have been betrayed by our social safety net.

For all these people, we pray that you will provide shelter, security and hope.

We pray for those of us with warm houses and comfortable beds

that we not be lulled into complacency and forgetfulness.

Jesus, help us to see your face in the eyes of every homeless person we meet

so that we may be empowered through word and deed,

and through the political means we have,

to bring justice and peace to those who are homeless.
