VOTIVE PRAYER CANDLES – Lighting a candle serves to prolong prayer beyond our presence in church. The candle remains behind and symbolizes the desire for prayer to continue. When we light candles in prayer, our intentions remain present even when we are gone. Next time you pass a candle rack, help prolong others’ prayers by offering one for the intentions of the people who lit them.

A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL ADOPTION
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have
spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
I may not know who is spared in this life, but I will know in the next. Amen.
PRAYER - Prayer is Powerful especially when two or more are praying for the same. Have you ever said this to your spouse or someone you are talking to on the telephone: “So and So needs a prayer, let’s say one together for them” (the Our Father or Hail Mary is nice); you might want to try it. When you see someone struggling while walking along the street, say a silent prayer for them – it may be the only prayer they get all day. Do you hear a young parent scolding a child? Perhaps that’s the time to say a silent prayer for both of them. Do you still bless yourself when you pass a church? Perhaps we need to bring back some of these things so that we can pass it on to the younger generation. When something is lost, do you pray to Saint Anthony, the patron of lost things? Are you aware that the Little Infant of Prague also finds things by using this prayer: “Infant Jesus of Lost and Found, please help bring (lost article) around.”

PRAYER LIST – OCTOBER 2019 - Persons on this list are in need of your prayers. Print and Post it in a place where you can see it every day; just looking at it can be your prayer for them. If you are on the list and prayers have helped you and you’re able to get out and about, please call Saint Mark’s Rectory at 942-0364 with the good news so we can remove your name. You can always call in again to be put back on the list. Please pray for everyone’s special intentions.

THE MEMORARE - Remember, O Most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To you I come; before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mother Teresa's Flying Novena" - from what we've been told, the Memorare is to be said ten times for your special intention.
The last time you say it (#10) would be
"in thanks" to the Blessed Mother for listening.

OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR US.
SAINT MARK, PRAY FOR US.
