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.

Saint Clare of Assisi (August 11)

Saint Clare, watch over the fire fighters, police officers, soldiers, and those who help make our country safer while they do their duties.  May you look upon them and see their goodness and bless them and their families. Amen.

St. Clare is the patron saint of television and television writers. Reporters need our prayers, especially those who cover stories about victims confronting catastrophic events or violence, including the first responders at the scenes.   For protection of police and firefighters, Michael the Archangel and St. Florian are commonly invoked. St. Martin and St. George are patrons of soldiers. During civil unrest and turbulent times as we've experienced in our home town and abroad, that we see in the media, we can also pray to St. Andrew of Corsini for peace...



St. Andrew Corsini, patron against civil disorder and riots, intercede, we pray, for all those that are caught up in the unrest and rioting caused by the evil in men's hearts. For those suffering in Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, the Sudan, Ferguson, MO and many other places in the world today, both near to and far from home, we pray that love and peace will prevail in the Lord's name. Amen. 

God our Father, you reveal that those who work for peace will be called your children. Through the prayers of St. Andrew Corsini, who excelled as a peacemaker help us to work without ceasing for that justice which brings truth and lasting peace. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
