Prayer of the Faithful Help

katierocks8884 · September 2009

Hey Ladies, I am meeting with my priest tonight and I still have nothing for my prayers of the faithful. Anyone feel like sharing theirs?

chelbell326 · September 2009

at the risk of sounding like a heathen...I don't know that that is. Sorry I can't help!

VAtoCO · September 2009

Do you have the Together for Life book? We just chose a generic set from there. (Chel - its a Catholic thing, you're not a heathen!)

NP Chell - they're used during Catholic ceremonies. Sorry, should have been more specific, but thanks for trying to help

Fran - I didn't get that book from St. Michael's (family priest is coming to Holy Ghost ). Everything I've checked (and the Music Director at Holy Ghost) have all referenced it which is a little annoying.

That's annoying. I'd ask for a copy.I just did a quick google search and came up with this. Sorry if the formatting is bad. If you didn't need this right now, I could have scanned the pages of the book and sent them to you. I still can, if you want them for reference, but probably won't be able to do it until tomorrow.Prayer of the Faithful God the Father, source of all life and love, willed that husband and wife should become one flesh in marriage.

Thanks Fran! That was helpful for me too......I haven't even begun to think about Prayers of the Faithful....gave me some great ideas to work with!

katierocks8884 · September 2009

Fran, you're amazing!!

VAtoCO · September 2009

Yay! I'm glad I could help.Christine - do you have "the book" - Together for Life? It's helpful in planning the ceremony and includes various options for the Prayers of the Faithful.Katie - I hope your meeting with the priest goes well!

masked_rose86 · September 2009

Fran- I actually don't have the book, and that is a really good idea. I think I found it on Amazon....it was only about $3.50 (doubled with shipping but oh well), so I went ahead and got it!In hindsight, it might be an older version, but at least it will get us started

Thanks!

VAtoCO · September 2009

I'm suprised that some of you weren't given the book by your priest/church. Christine, even if you did have to pay a few $$ for it, I think it will be worth it. It was really helpful in planning the ceremony.

katierocks8884 · September 2009

Thanks for the help! My meeting went well and when Fr. Henri realized I was never given Together in Life, he gave me a copy. I was grateful, but I had planned most of my mass without it already. I really wish I was given a copy earlier though. It would have made things so much easier.
