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, February 16
O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because in our weakness we can do nothing good without you, give us the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments we may please you both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
