Prayers to Share from the sisters of St. Francis
Monday, August 3, 2020
Today I pray for the workers who help care for the women religious, and for the Sisters who are ill or have passed away due to COVID-19. I pray for Your strength and love to fill the hearts of their congregations.
Tuesday, August 4, 2020
Today I pray for peace in the world, and that I will take part in helping it to grow. Help me to remember that we are all brothers and sisters, and that I can love even those whom I do not always like or with whom I disagree.
Wednesday, August 5, 2020
Today I pray for young people whose lives have been interrupted and who are questioning their next steps. I pray You embrace them with resilience, hope, and faith in Your love for us.
Thursday, August 6, 2020
Merciful God, I pray that affordable healthcare, a living wage, and paid family leave be afforded to people of color who have often struggled with inequities due to systemic racism.
Friday, August 7, 2020
Today I pray for mutual respect that allows us to dialogue and listen without blame or judgement. I pray for guidance that will help me be open to a different point of view.
Saturday, August 8, 2020
God of unity, I pray for an end to unfair representation in our vulnerable communities that is a result of gerrymandering. I pray that people be given the resources needed to cast their vote.
Sunday, August 9, 2020
God of hope, guide me to understand that as a person of faith I can use my right to vote in the coming elections for the greater good. May I see political engagement as an opportunity to engage in social justice. -

addressing racism
In light of current events in Minneapolis and around the country, Holy Spirit parish alongside the Social Justice Commission, held an outdoor prayer service on Thursday, June 11. Approximately 70 people gathered for prayer and 8 minutes 46 seconds of silence for George Floyd.
This is only the beginning of conversations and events that will take place at Holy Spirit to address racism in our community and in our country.
Please stay tuned to our website and Facebook for important information on how we, as a Christian community, can get involved in a solution for change. -
