A Prayer for Healing
Victims of Abuse
“God of endless love,
Ever caring, ever strong,
Always present, always just:
You gave your only Son
to save us by the blood of his cross.
Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace,
Join to your own suffering
The pain of all who have been hurt
in body. mind, and spirit
By those who betray the trust placed in them.
Hear our cries as we agonize
over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into our prayers, Soothe restless hearts with hope, Steady shaken spirits with faith:
Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth and enfolded in your mercy.
Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts,
Heal your people’s wounds
And transform our brokenness.
Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, So that we may act with justice
and find peace in you.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.”

Prayer Shawl Ministry!
We are resuming our wonderfully
successful
Prayer Shawl Ministry!
Starting Tuesday, September 23rd 2008 (at 1:00pm). If you would like to
join us, please call Ann James at 508-586-6223. We have over 30 great
women who belong, Some come to the meetings, many others do their part
at home. So far this year - 45 Baptismal blankets have been
distributed, 80 shawls to those in need of comfort, plus 15 shawls and
baby blankets to the Brockton Hospital.
We are pleased to give crosses to the infants and rosary beads with the
shawls. The latest project is “Lap-robes” made with yarn that many have
donated. They will be given to nursing homes or anyone who request
them. Our ministry has grown!
Thank you for your support and come join us for tea and laughs! (we
also provide lessons in crochet or knitting and it’s a great way to
learn.)
