St. Paul’s!

How do you pray for St. Paul’s?

A great way to reflect on the answer to this question is to read the prayers of St. Paul in his epistles.  These prayers are ancient, yet they are so alive and applicable to the church of the 21^st century.

You could even say that Paul is praying them today in the communion of saints.  We will be embarking today on a series of sermons Sunday mornings through Easter. 

Here are the texts:

 

·         February 21          Ephesians 1:15-23

·         February 28          I Thessalonians 1:2-3; 2:13; 5:23

·         March 7                 Ephesians 3:14-21

·         March 14               Romans 15:5-6, 13

·         March 21               Philippians 1:3-11

·         March 28               Philemon 4-6

·         April 4                   Colossians 1:3-14

Look up these passages.  Study them and join in.  Let’s pray these prayers with St. Paul for St. Paul’s.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. [Ephesians 6:18]”

I pray that your Lenten season is blessed,
