PRAYER INTENTIONS

Intentions of the Holy Father for May 2020: For Deacons. We pray that deacons, faithful in their service to the Word and the poor, may be an invigorating symbol for the entire Church.

Intentions of Archbishop Naumann for May 2020: • For the 2020 college, high school and elementary school graduates, that Jesus will bless

their future endeavors, help them deepen their friendship with him and keep them close to His Church.

• For all those being baptized, received into the Church, confirmed and receiving their First Holy Communion that their love for the Sacraments may grow and deepen.

• For those suffering from COVID19 and for all those experiencing economic hardship, that they will draw strength from their faith and that the Church will accompany them and surround them with loving support.

• For doctors, nurses and all who provide care for COVID19 victims, that the Lord will bless their generous service of the sick and suffering.

• For research scientists working to develop cures and a vaccine for COVID19, that the Lord will make their life-saving efforts fruitful.

Intentions of Fr. Jonathan for May 2020: Patience. For an increase in the virtue of patience during this time of pandemic, that we may learn to wait and endure sufferings gracefully.
