Welcome to St. Thérèse, Little Flower
Fr. Jeffery Largent
Pastor
Healing Prayer Corner
During the Praying for Our Children workshop, Brian pointed out three things we should ask of God when praying for our children, or anyone else, for that matter: (1) protect their heart (from brutal assault of the enemy); (2) make them aware of God’s presence; (3) show his or her identity in Christ.
In the renewal of our Baptismal promises, we are asked to reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises.
Just as a small seemingly harmless cut in the skin can lead to a bacterial infection that can have serious consequences, even death if unattended. So, too, allowing Satan in even just a little, or just this once, can lead to more serious offenses against another and God.
God has a plan for our life. So does Satan. Without prayer, our answers to our Baptismal promises might be, “No.”
Matthew 25

Stewardship: A Way of Life
