September 2006 Post
Month - September 2006: Please pray for the following needs of St. Matthew Church.
September’s scripture verse:
1 Peter 4:9 - Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
September’s New Requests:
• For the St. Matthew’s committees and outreach ministries specifically:
o Religious Education – let the Holy Spirit bless and educate the students.
• Bless our parish with the gift of hospitality.
• Bless and prosper the Fall Festival.
• Bring joy and friendship during the Western Bid and Bite Night.
• Thank you for a productive and safe Parish Work Day.
• Direct our vision, especially the need to update or expand our facilities. May we follow Your holy direction so we can continue to exalt the risen Christ.
• Strengthen Father Jerry as he takes his sabbatical.
Existing Requests:
• Armed Forces – may God’s protection surround our troops, especially the men and women serving from St. Matthew. May God strengthen their families.
• St. Matthew’s two, five and 10 year planning. May the Holy Spirit direct our future.
• For an increase in stewardship in our parish, that more people will give of their time, treasure and talents for the good of our community.
• We thank God for providing money for debt reduction. We ask that He grant us continued favor for the remaining $200,000.
• We lift us the priests of the Archdiocese and the Topeka region as they bless us through their faithful service.
A Prayer in Time of Debt
ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, we beg of You to help us soon to pay off our debts to our fellowmen. Give us strength and courage to persevere until the last penny is paid. Give patience to those to whom we are in debt, and let them not treat us unjustly. Help us have great confidence in You and in the workings of Your providence, trusting that You will always direct things to our greatest good. Make us also fully realize that no debt to our fellowmen can begin to equal the debt that we owe You on account of our sins, to say nothing of the immense debt we owe You for the gifts of Your divine grace. These we could never pay at all but for the coming of Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. To Him be all honor and thanksgiving, now and forever. Amen.
