Pray
for the Campaign!
Open
your hearts and minds to the mercy of God,
and allow His Love to transform your life.
Every
Tuesday in Lent, every Parish in the Diocese of Bridgeport
will have priests waiting for you
to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Come,
and receive the Lord’s unconditional love.
The Catholic faithful in all 87 parishes of the
Diocese of Bridgeport are invited to pray for
a specific intention: the fruitfulness of the “Lenten
Confession Campaign.”
The Lenten Confession Campaign is part of the
diocesan Pastoral Plan for Evangelization and the diocesan observance
of the Year
of Saint Paul.
The campaign’s theme is taken from Saint Paul’s
second letter to the Corinthians: “Be
reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20), and the painting on the prayer card depicts the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke
15:11-32), by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn.
"He was
lost, and is found." (Luke 15:24)
PRAYER for
the fruitfulness
of the Lenten Confession Campaign,
March 3-April 7, 2009
O Father of infinite mercy and compassion,
like the shepherd who searches
for the lost sheep,
and the woman who looks for the lost coin,
You always seek us out when we sin that, through the grace of
the Holy Spirit,
we might be reconciled to You.
In the Holy Season of Lent,
draw Your people to the
Sacrament of Reconciliation
to experience the transforming joy
of Your Divine Mercy.
Let us know the power of
Your unconditional love
and the security of Your providential care.
Bless confessors so that they may be
your instruments in leading us
to true conversion of heart
and holiness of life.
Grant this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
Oración por
los Frutos de la Campaña de Confesión de Cuaresma
Marzo 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 ye el 7 de Abril, 2009
Oh Padre de infinita misericordia y compasión,
como el pastor que busca a la oveja perdida
y como la mujer que busca la moneda perdida,
Tú siempre sales a nuestro encuentro cuando pecamos,
para que a través de la gracia del Espíritu Santo, nos puedas
reconciliar a Ti.
En la Cuaresma, tiempo de gracia,
acerca a tu pueblo al Sacramento de la Reconciliación
para que experimenten la alegría transformadora de tu Divina
Misericordia.
Permítenos conocer la fuerza de tu amor incondicional y la seguridad
de tus
providenciales cuidados.
Bendice a los confesores para que ellos puedan
ser instrumentos tuyos
al guiarnos hacia una conversión sincera de corazón
y a responder al llamado a la santidad.
Te lo pedimos por Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amén.
