help the men and women of our St. Rose of Lima Parish to hear the call to serve
in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Our needs are great and
our people thirst for Your presence. Open the hearts of many. Raise up faithful
servants of the Gospel; dedicated, holy priests, sisters, brothers and deacons,
who will spend themselves for Your people and their needs. Bless those serving
now with courage and perseverance. Grant that many will be inspired by their
example and faith.
We ask this through
Christ our Lord. Amen

O Lord, help me know Your
will for me.
Let Your light shine in the depths of my heart that I may know what You want me
to do with my life. Help me believe that You have a special plan, be it
Marriage, Single Life or a call to serve your people as a Religious.
Lord, I know I pass through this life only once; help me decide how You want me
to make a difference.
Like our Blessed Mother, give me the wisdom to hear Your voice and the courage
to answer.
Above all give me peace of mind and heart.
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen

we witness to Your love for our children and desire for them to be happy; living
a full life.
We ask Your help so we
may guide and encourage them to believe that they each have a special calling and
to use their gifts and talents for others.
We pray, Heavenly Father,

Through the grace of the Holy
