A Part of You is Going to France!

Yesterday, Liz, a long-time HIA subscriber and now a founding member of Servants of the Father of Mercy community, sent an email with a powerful plan to help the poor, homeless, crushed and broken people in each of our lives. Liz has for many years been making an end-of-summer pilgrimage to Lourdes, France and now she would like to include all of us! Unfortunately, we will not all be on the plane with her, but she will be taking a part of us when she departs from LAX.

Liz has given all of the HIA readers a generous gift when in her email she said … “I thought I'd offer to take everyone’s prayer petitions with me to Lourdes. Let them know that the petitions will be placed in the Grotto, and that this September is a very special celebration - the 150th year of Our Lady coming to St. Bernadette at Lourdes! The pope is coming when I will be there to celebrate a special anniversary Mass. I will be happy to take the prayers to the Grotto - and also will lift them up at the Adoration tent and healing service. I need all of the prayers by Tuesday, September 2nd.”

So who do you know that needs a miracle? Who is crushed, broken, suffering illness and all types of poverty - is it yourself, a friend, a family member, a co-worker? Please post your prayer request now to this blog by clicking on COMMENTS just below this article. You will be taken to a new page. Type your request in the white box, and then click on anonymous, fill in the wavy letters and click publish. You are done! Remember, when praying for others, first names only, please. Send out an email to your family and friends and invite them to participate.

At Lourdes, please pray for my mother, Eileen. May she know God's peace, joy, and comfort in the days she has left on this earth.

Thank you, and God bless you!

Blessed Mother, please watch over and intercede for my daughter in San Fran., as well as for myself, my husband, our other 2 children, and our family members--for health in mind, body and Spirit. I also pray for Christian Unity, world peace, our Bible project and the success of SFM. Thank you for your prayers, the prayers of the communion of Saints and I ask all these in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son and our Saviour, Amen
