Prayer for Nepal

 

Mary, Mother of Compassion and Mercy, we pray for all those effected by the earthquake in Nepal.  Please be with the rescue workers and all those who are doing everything to bring aid.  Keep them safe as they make heroic efforts in dangerous situations to rescue those in trouble.  Please give strength and comfort to everyone waiting to be rescued, keep them safe, and let help come to them soon.  Mother inspire individuals and nations to send aid, and donate whatever is needed so that all affected will have enough food, clean water and proper shelter.  Mother please intercede for all those affected by this disaster and surround them with Your love and protection.  Please send angels of healing and peace to be with everyone involved.  Let them know that there are millions of us praying for them and their loved ones.  Thank you for all the miracles that have already occurred, and for the mercy of God constantly at work.  To Him be all the praise and glory.  Amen

Year of Consecrated Life

Click here to share the story of Sr. Maria Louise Edwards.
Share the story of Sr. Maria Louise Edwards, CSSF​. Sr. Maria Louise took first vows with the Felician Sisters in August 2014. She now serves as the Mission Integration Coordinator at Holy Name of Mary College School in Mississauga.

Hailing from New Jersey​, Sr. Maria Louise was once a full-time actress and model in New York City. But in the midst of worldly success, she still felt something was missing in her life. The missing piece was Jesus.

The Light of Prayer

This man stopped in an alley in Jerusalem to pray.  Prayer is the greatest nurturer of God's light and maybe the surest way to walk from darkness to light.
