Prayer Intentions

The Sisters of the Living Word ask you to pray for God’s blessings on our work and on the people we serve.  Your prayers are also needed for new members to carry on the mission and spirit of the Sisters of the Living Word.  “The harvest is rich but the laborers are few…”  Matt. 9:37

 

In prayer we come to Yahweh as pilgrim people, trusting in God's provident love for us.  As we become aware of God's presence, our lives spontaneously give joyful witness to others.

God our Mother/Father

Living Water,

River of Mercy,

Source of Life,

in whom we live

and move

and have our being,

who quenched our thirst,

refreshes our weariness,

bathes

and washes

and cleanses

our wounds,

be for us always a fountain of life,

and for all the world a river of hope

springing up in the midst

of the deserts of despair.

Honor and blessing,

glory and praise

to You forever.

Amen.
