THE ROSE OF MARY PRAYER TEAM

The prayer team’s objective is to satiate the thirst of Christ by supporting the Office for Pastoral Services through prayer and sacrifice. We askfor a daily commitment of prayer for the intentions of each of the Ministries and the office staff.

Jesus includes everyone in his prayer, for he has taken on humanity in his incarnation, and he offers them to the Father when he offers Himself. Jesus, the Word who has become flesh, shares by his human prayer in all that “his brethren” experience; he sympathizes with their weaknesses in order to free them. It was for this that the Father sent him. His words and works are the visible manifestation of His prayer. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2602)
