FAMILY SENT ON MISSION

DIVINE PROVIDENCE’S PRAYER INTENTIONS

FOR SEPTEMBER 2024

Mission Statement:  We of the Divine Providence Lithuanian Parish strive to be an open, welcoming and caring Catholic community of believers who are called to share, renew and grow in our faith, love of God and one another.   Because we are an ethnic parish, we strive to preserve our Lithuanian heritage by promoting the use of the Lithuanian language in the church liturgy and supporting Lithuanian cultural, educational and social activities in the adjacent Cultural Center.  We embrace Jesus by following his teachings, values and examples, and put our faith into action through service and outreach to those in need. 

Brothers and sisters, remembering that God gives himself to us without limits, with firm conviction let us pray that He would bless our lives.

  • We pray that the Church will always remember that the Kingdom of God is already in the world and that the power of the Holy Spirit is growing every day.

  • We pray that all people, nations and states will accept the gift of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, uniting all differences.

  • We pray that the sick and those tormented by pain of spirit and body may be comforted and strengthened by the cross of Christ.

Lord of infinite mercy, knowing the ways and stumbles of the world, hear our prayer and draw your Son to us. He lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen
