INTERCESSARY PRAYERS WITH SYMBOLS- 4 1. MUD & BRICK This little offering of the "Mother Earth" mud and brick has gone in to the building of our Province reflects your graces and blessings. As we offer this we pray for the continued guidance of your Holy Spirit upon our Chapter members. 2. WATER & CEMENT Water and cement together makes the foundation strong. Lord we thank you for making us strong to face the challenges courageously to reach out to the interior villages of our Country. We pray for your continued accompaniment to reach out to many more places to give your Good News to the people. We also remember all our Church leaders and seek your blessings upon them. 3. IRON & OTHER MATERIALS. It is the iron with the help of the other materials makes the building stable and sturdy. Lord along with this gift we pray for all of us. Make us strong in times of difficulties and problems; help us to overcome all the pull and push of the world, to be authentic missionaries, living according to the Gospel values. We recommend to you our national leaders too that they may work for justice and peace. 4.FOUNDATION Any structure, if is has stand, has to have a firm foundation. The foundation of our Province has its roots in God Himself and on the Charism of our Institute as we bring this gift before the Lord we pray that we may have the grace and readiness to penetrate more deeply into the spirit of our Foundress Mother Seraphina and thus become women for others and live as companions of Jesus on Mission. 5. BREAD & WINE. Along with this bread and wine we offer our entire Institute and the people we serve in various parts of the world, and others who are yet to experience the power of the Gospel. Dear Lord, we implore your blessings upon our Institute bless us with zealous and enthusiastic members. May our Seraphic Father St. Francis, our Mother Clare and Mother Seraphina support our ministries with their blessings, bringing renewed joy and peace to all the members, and to all those whom we are send to serve.
