PLEASE PRAY FOR ...

Pope Francis’ prayer intention for February …
For February 2019, we join the Holy Father in praying for:

Human Trafficking: For a generous welcome of the victims of human trafficking, of enforced prostitution, and of violence.

Although we try to ignore it, slavery is not something from other times. Faced with this tragic reality, no one can wash their hands of it without being, in some way, an accomplice to this crime against humanity. We cannot ignore the fact that there is as much slavery in the world today as there was before, or perhaps more. Let us pray for a generous welcome of the victims of human trafficking, of enforced prostitution, and of violence.

For the Catholic Women’s League of Canada and its members …
That the Light of Christ will enlighten the eyes of our minds, our hearts, and our souls, so that we may be faithful bearers of his Light into our world.

For members of the Catholic Women’s League and their family members who have died
during the past year …
That God will grant them eternal rest.

For all who are grieving the recent loss of loved ones …
That they may find comfort in their sadness, be surrounded by the love of God, and have the strength to meet the days to come.

For Pope Francis, bishops, priests, and all those in authority over the church …
That they may be open, transparent, and forthcoming with the truth about clergy sex abuse and coverups.
