July Prayers

momthingsthroughchrist2 Comments

I admit, have had another short break, but here I am! I come bearing an opportunity to pray. Well, my usual post tagline asks us to pray for each other, and we can’t do that unless we actually pray for each other! So… here we go!

As usual, I’ll be looking at the comment section for the entire month of July and I’ll be praying for any intentions you pop in there as the month moves along. And as always, if you have intentions you’d rather not share publicly, just say you have a personal intention (no need to divulge details, the Lord will know what it is if I mention it like that!).

As well as bringing the requests people might leave in the comments to God in your own prayers, I would also ask that you pray for the Papal intention for July:

For The Pastoral Care of The Sick: Let us pray that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, bestows the Lord’s strength to those who receive it and to their loved ones, and that it may become for everyone an ever more visible sign of compassion and hope.

As for me, we finalise our home purchase and then the house move, which is coming up in July, so please pray that everything goes smoothly!

Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!

July Prayers

As the month draws to a close, it’s time to start a new prayer thread. Just like last time, simply leave your prayer requests in the comment section! I will come back throughout the month to see if there are any new prayers I need to add to my personal prayer list, so even if it comes up a few weeks from now, just come back to this post and pop it in and know I’ll pray for you! Since this is about community-building, I would ask that you keep everyone else who comments in your own prayers too, along with Pope Francis’ prayer intention for July which is:

July: for a Eucharistic life

We pray that Catholics may place the celebration of the Eucharist at the heart of their lives, transforming human relationships in a very deep way and opening to the encounter with God and all their brothers and sisters.

I can’t wait for you to see next week’s monthly devotion post to find out why this is so apt! 

Thanks for being part of this community and for your prayers. I truly believe it’s the most you can do, even (and especially) when you alone can do nothing.

Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!

June Prayer Intentions

Alright Moms, it’s time once again to advocate for one another! This post is dedicated to your special intentions for the month of June. Just put your prayer requests into the comments, even as they come up throughout the month, and keep each other in your prayers – that’s all you need to do!

As usual, the pope’s monthly intention is below for us to include in our prayers.

June: for the abolition of torture
We pray that the international community may commit in a concrete way to ensuring the abolition of torture and guarantee support to victims and their families.

Let’s send those prayers up and bring down the blessings!

Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!

May Prayer Intentions

Alright Moms, here is where we stand shoulder to shoulder with one another! This post is dedicated to your special intentions for the month of May. Simply leave your prayer requests in the comments, even as they crop up throughout the month, and pray for each other’s requests – that’s all you need to do!

I’ve also decided to share the pope’s prayer intention for the month, so we can include it in our prayers.

May: For church movements and groups
We pray that Church movements and groups may rediscover their mission of evangelization each day, placing their own charisms at the service of needs in the world.

Let’s send those prayers up and bring down the blessings!

Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!
