Peter's jail break

In today's first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we hear about
Peter's imprisonment and how an angel of the Lord led him out of
prison thereby saving him from Herod's wrath. However, before this all
happened, "...prayer by the church was fervently being made to God on
his behalf." (Acts 12:5)

This phrase from scripture certainly speaks to the great power of
intercessory prayer.

Please bring your fervent intercessory prayers to the sidewalk this
week.

*Prayer for Joyful Fidelity to our Mission*

*by Fr. Frank Pavone, M.E.V.*

Lord God,

We thank you for our salvation in Jesus Christ.

We thank you for the call he gives us –

Not a call to sit in a corner cowering in fear over our enemies,

Mystified about how to overcome the Culture of Death,

Despondent because of our sins,

Or worried about the perceived political strength of our opponents.

Rather, it is a call to stand victorious in the light of the
Resurrection

And to proclaim to the Culture of Death:

“You have been conquered!

You have no place here,

No power to defeat the forces of truth and goodness!”

Yes, Lord, we stand in that light

And we are filled with joy –

Not a superficial joy that rises and falls

With the ebb and flow of circumstances beyond our control,

But with the profound joy

That only you can give

And that nobody can take away.

In the strength of that joy,

May we your people continue to proclaim your truth

And share your grace

Not only within the walls of our Churches,

But in the halls of government,

In the voting booth,

In the media,

And in every inch of the public square.

Lord, in our work for you, may we find you.

In our efforts to change the world, may we ourselves be changed.

In our struggle to build a Culture of Life, may we find life eternal.

We pray through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
