Some things to pray about

Please pray for the following intentions:

• For the repose of the soul of Eric Blackwood, who committed suicide
• For the graduates of Thomas Aquinas College and Christendom College, who matriculated this past weekend
• For a young woman named Olivia, who is trying to find her way in this world
• For a young woman named Angela, who is discerning her vocation
• For all Catholic politicians that they would uphold all gospel values in their public avocations and be a witness in their vocations to the splendor and beauty of truth
• For all parents whose lives are being disrupted, either by kids coming back home after graduation or other life changes, or for those who are broken hearted now that their grown children are leaving the nest to start their lives
• For all who travel this summer, that they would get to and return from their destinations safely.
• Finally, for those who are actively trying to live lives of holiness, but who are find that effort difficult beyond imagining, that God would give them the courage, stamina, and grace to persevere in their efforts to be saints
