PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR By Sr Rita Ostry, ND

A Prayer for Law Enforcement and their Families ~ Sr. Stephanie Matcha, ND Oh God, Our Eternal Energy and Force, You have blessed our Country with brave men, women, K-9’s and horses who protect us and defend our freedom.

Comfort the families, co-workers and friends who mourn and are left to remember the precious lives of their loved ones.

May Your protection and Grace surround them each day. Help us to Honor and Support them. May their families be blessed with strength for the sacrifices they make and the support they give to those who serve and protect.

Loving God, Your Heart is our Home, from you we have come, with You do we journey through these challenging days in our city and world

Let your healing hand be upon those who suffer wounds and injuries. May those who have made the ultimate sacrifice rest forever in your Holy Presence.

May our Law Enforcements’ Journey be blessed with Faith, Courage and Peace. Amen!

O God, may I gratefully and graciously welcome each new day aware of your guiding, loving, faithful presence. May I respectfully greet each person I meet, walk humbly and gently on the earth and honor deeply the amazing blessings that come through the events of this day. For this I pray, Amen.

Thanks for your generous gifts from our Amazon Wish List - passing them out was a blessing! We were all overwhelmed and amazed at the outpouring of generosity. More than 215 items were purchased and delivered directly to the Sisters. These gifts such as lift chairs, walkers, and wheelchairs will go a long way towards keeping us safe and comfortable all winter long. The smaller items were a huge hit as well, especially since some items are hard to find. Even the simple gift of toilet paper and toothpaste meant a lot to us! See more photos on our Facebook page!
