The St. Andrew Prayer Line is an active group of parishioners that pray for fellow parishioners, or their relatives and friends in need. There are no meetings. This is a ministry that can be done in your home, at work, in your car, wherever and whenever you pray.
All you need to do is call the Prayer Line phone number at 480.899.1990 x305 to retrieve the special intentions for the week, or if you prefer, have the intentions e-mailed to you. While you say your daily prayers, remember those for whom we have been asked to pray.
Prayer for Healing and Strength
Dear Lord,
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus, who healed those who believed.
Amen.
