Good morning Saint John’s students, faculty and staff. Let us pause in our day to pray. We pray for our students and faculty members who participated in Global Encounter this past week, as today begins the toughest part of the journey: Returning to the ordinary flow of life. May their hearts, which were opened to compassion on their trips, remain open so that the graces they received from the experience may be fruitful and
Transformative.
We also pray for the repose of Arleen Marsan, mother of Mr. Mike Marsan who passed away. May God comfort family and friends of Marsan family as they grieve the loss of a loved one.
(Pause)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Loving God, We pray for the repose of the soul of Arleen Marsan. Please guide her and receive her into your Holy and divine presence. We pray for Arleen’s family and friends and ask for your Holy Spirit’s loving embrace and comforting touch for them. We pray that her loved ones will have the strength and courage to endure this loss and pull together in love and hope for their future. Please help all of us to have the peace and joy of happy memories while helping each other to mourn with a strong faith and love for one another. We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
