Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, come and restore us to life. We rely on prayer as your grace helps us to live with joy. We are willing to grow to be fully alive. We are committed to living out of a generous spirit and let your bright light shine in New Brighton and beyond. Sin, despair, discouragement and isolation keep us from living life to the full. As we rely on you in prayer, may we reject temptations in order to overcome the enemy. As we learn more about you and your wonderful plan for our lives, may we not give into despair or discouragement but trust more fully in your Divine Providence. Help us to overcome fear that leads to isolation by living out of a generous spirit and building up your kingdom.

We pray for all those in our parish. May each person grow in their relationship with you and more actively pursue your plan that allows them to live life full of joy. We pray for those around us who do not follow you. Help us share your light and love with them. May they see that you alone can restore them to life to the full and be drawn into relationship with you here. We make this prayer through your Son Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.

Amen. Saint John the Baptist Novena:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the witness of our patron, St. John the Baptist. May we be willing to stand up always for the truth as he did.

Fear keeps us from living life to the fullest. Give us courage to serve you above all else. May we have the same faith that St. John the Baptist had and boldly stand up for the truths of our Catholic Faith.

Many came to St. John the Baptist seeking mercy and healing. We know that you, the Restorer, worked through him. We ask you to restore us to the holiness that we are called to, and may we help others be restored to life as we allow your grace to work in us. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
