Wednesday June 21st, 2006 - Prayer of the Week on on All Saints Sunday
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord Your proclamation has gone out into all the world . It was
carried by those who place their love for You above their personal welfare. They showed
the world that life without You was not worth living. We honor them and ask them to
intercede for us. Through their prayers may we become strong in our faith and be
witnesses by also spreading Your word. Give us love so we will be willing to lay
down our life for another. We pray in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
Friday June 16th, 2006 - Prayer of the Week on Pentecost
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy.
O Lord we pray today on our knees. Grant that we listen closely to
the prayers which will be read on this day of Pentecost. May we not be distracted by
feeling uncomfortable. As we kneel remind us that we have not kept Your commandments
and are prideful and arrogant trying to make a name for ourselves. Bring us to repentance
so we can be united in Love and be filled with the Holy spirit which You sent to comfort
us and lead us to the truth. We pray in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen
Thursday June 8th, 2006 - Prayer of the Week on the Council of Nicea
Let us pray to the Lord. Lord have mercy (Taken from the Orthodox Study Bible)
O Lord remember Your Holy Church which you have purchased with Your
precious blood. Confirm and strengthen it, enlarge and multiply it, keep it in peace,
and preserve it unconquerable by the gates of hell forever. Heal the schisms or the
churches, quench the ragings of heathen, speedily undo and root out the growth of
heresies and bring them to naught the power of the Holy Spirit. Lead back those who
have departed from the Orthodox faith, dazzled by the destroying heresies, do enlighten
them by the light of Your holy wisdom, and unite them to Your Holy Church. We pray
in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Amen.
