Canadian Martyrs Church

June 19-20

We pray on this Father’s Day weekend for all the fathers in this parish and those who serve as fathers, that they may always be blessed with the love of their children and with the grace to raise them wisely. We pray to the Lord.

We pray for our own fathers, living and departed, that they may be blessed for the love and support we have received from them and that they may know our gratitude. We pray to the Lord.

We pray that we may better live the oneness in Christ of which Paul speaks in today’s reading, by setting aside our preconceptions and inhibitions in order to reach out to our neighbours in this parish and in the world around us. We pray to the Lord.
