Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)
The tradition of a parish prayer ministry is a beautiful part of both the spiritual and pastoral life of many congregations. You are invited to incorporate the Cathedral Prayer List and weekly Prayers of the People into your prayer life.
If you want to pray, but aren’t sure how or what that means, you aren’t alone in that. Prayer can be daunting—even for people who have been living the Christian life and praying for many years. It can feel like a struggle, and sometimes we doubt that we are “doing it right.”
Here is a link to some thoughts that might deepen your reflection:
To add a name to the prayer list, please email Karen Amundrud. If you or someone you know is ill or hospitalized, please call the Cathedral Office (727-822-4173).
For pastoral care concerns, contact Rev. Mike Alford.
Collect for Sunday, December 15
Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
