Today, we pray for our teachers

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You our teachers. Thank You Lord, for those who taught us everything – from discipline to sharing, from knowledge to integrity. We pray that each one of them is touched by You and cared for, in a special way. May good Christian men and women take up this commitment to become teachers. Bless their students to know You and about You, first and last. Bless the families of these men and women, as they spend their lives, effort and time, training our little ones. Amen

today, we pray for those in debt

Lord Jesus, today we pray for the grace to be free from debt. Lord, help us honour You first with our money. Whatever we earn, let the first fruits be Yours. May our brothers and sisters who are facing loans, mortgages, crisis situations or loss of jobs – be helped in time, by Your wisdom. Give us and our families, adequate financial blessings. Amen

Today, we pray for the bedridden

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You all our brothers and sisters who are disabled, paralysed or comatose. We pray that You breathe healing into their nerves and bones. May each one of them experience the healing that the sick, the lame and the blind experienced when You lived on this earth. We pray also for the families and carers of these men and women – that they too may be strengthened by Your Spirit. Bless and heal them all, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Today, we pray for homemakers

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You, all Your children who are homemakers. Lord, they often do the unpaid, thankless service no one wants to do, and do it lifelong. We thank You for these wonderful men and women who choose their families and those needs before their own success and a probable career. We bless their work worn hands, Jesus. A special prayer for the mums and dads and relatives and administrators who have made our own homes and institutions true homes of selfless love. Amen.

Today, we pray for greater respect towards Mary, our mother

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You, all Your children who do not give adequate love and respect to Your mother. Lord, show the world how precious she and the saints are in Your sight. May every word that is said against Mama Mary be washed in the blood of You, her Son and forgiven in Your great mercy. May her children realise the folly of their ways and come back to the love of the Holy Family, this season. Amen.
