St. Agnes

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (18th – 25th)

FOCAL POINT:

“We experience our nothingness without God. We know the misery of our inherited weakness and corruption, which results from our personal sins.” (Con. 1)

1. For all of those who work in the parish apostolate, together with permanent deacons, lay ministers and catechists.
2. May the power of God’s Holy Word inspire and guide our lives.
3. In thanksgiving for the example of virginity, and the gift of martyrdom, given to us by St. Agnes.
4. May the message of the Resurrection unite all Christians in a common faith.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“We will build team ministry among priests, deacons, brothers, other religious and lay pastoral ministers.” (Provincial Pastoral Handbook, 3)
