"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."

Intercessory Prayer
Purpose: To bring together people who pray for the intentions of members of our St. Therese faith community.
Virginia Smith, 587-9837; Dan Vanover, dvanover@kc.rr.com
Martha, Mary and Lazarus
Purpose: To learn how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, to offer prayers of intercession for all parish needs, to serve wherever God sends us individually and in groups. Come and share a time of Love, Peace and Joy with the Mary, Martha and Lazarus Prayer Group. We gather to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and to deepen our personal relationship with Jesus—Tuesday morning at 10:00am in the Wooldridge Center Meeting Room. We sing, pray, laugh, share our blessings, and have a time for intercession. You don’t have to say anything unless you want to—just sit, pray and be blessed. We think you will really enjoy it.

Adoration
Open your heart—Our Lord so wants to be a part of our life...more than just one hour on Sunday. He loves you more than you can ever imagine. Let Him love you, come spend an hour with Him in Adoration. It will be the second best hour you will spend in your whole week, next to the Holy Mass on Sunday! Come to the Adoration Chapel Monday through Friday, 9am-10pm to spend any amount of time in the prayer of adoration. Or please call Bill Rumker, 891-2555; Tom Robinson, 891-9493; Carolyn O’Laughlin, 587-9223 to arrange for a regular adoration time.
Divine Mercy Chaplet
Especially since the year 200, when Pope John Paul II named Sr. Faustine a saint of the Church and established the First Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, Catholics have been especially aware of the beauty, grace and ever-near presence of God's Abundant mercy in their lives. The Divine Mercy Chaplet, the prayer Christ gave directly to St. Faustina, is prayed daily before the 8:30am Mass (starting at about 7:50am); please call Bill Rumker, 891-2555 for more information.
