Angels and Doves recognizes that Christ
is the center of all creation. He is our peace, safety, and healing grace. Without Christ in our lives we have no hope.
Lord God, maker of heaven and earth and of all created things, you make your just ones holy and you justify sinners who confess your name. Hear us as we humbly pray to you: give us eternal joy with your saints.
St Francis Assisi we come to you today to pray and intercede for
all of us - God's Creation
Today, we pray for all God's creation. Especially, for all of his innocent animals who are injured, abandoned, scared, ill and exploited. We also come to Christ and ask for his blessings and saving power for all his people who are also injured, abandoned, ill, scared and exploited.
Lord, we ask you to remember all your people who are suffering from mental health illness and cancer. We also ask you to provide comfort and peace to the families who are suffering while at the side of their suffering loved ones. Amen
