About this Blog for the SUV Calss of 2016

Following a schedule initiated in April 2015, weekly posts on this blog highlight the prayer/intention of every student in the SUV 7th grade class. Prayers and intercessions are original works of the students. Their intentions are arranged over the course of one year to coincide with the feast days of their Patron Saints (chosen in the sacrament of Confirmation). Other intentions appeal to Guardian Angels or are especially fitting on special days of recognition, as indexed in the label column to the right of the blog page.

Prayers are posted here so that they can be observed remotely with intent to grow as a spiritual community through the power of collective thought.

May is World Red Cross Month & National Nurses Day (May 6, 2015)

Dear God, help those who are suffering from cancer and other terminal diseases. Please strengthen them and comfort them as they battle their diseases.  Please bless their doctors, nurses, families, and caregivers and please give them guidance as they care for the sick.  Dear Jesus hear this prayer and please help us sinners to strive to be more like you. Amen.

Our fervent prayers are with the Jarczyk Family and the Harding Family.

Despite her own personal losses of husband and two daughters, Saint Elizabeth Anne Seton devoted herself to the spiritual development and healing of others.  During this Easter Season, Elizabeth Seton serves as a reminder to have faith-- especially those of us who are confronted with mortality. We can endure great loss knowing that Jesus died for us and Ascended up to Heaven. Because of His acute suffering during the Passion and upon His Resurrection, He has made a special place for all who choose to believe in and follow the Word of the Lord, particularly for those whose suffering strengthens their faith in God.
