PRAYER FOR ST. THOMAS MORE CHURCH
On Mar 2nd the priests' council of the Archdiocese of Chicago will vote on the Renew My Church Plan for our parish grouping (St Thomas More, St Denis and St Bede). On Mar. 10th, the official decision of the Cardinal will be made public. During these days, you are encouraged to pray this prayer as we ask God's grace for our parish and its future.
Almighty God, the giver of every good gift, we ask you to look graciously upon the people entrusted to this Church of Saint Thomas More, and so guide with heavenly wisdom and apostolic charity the mind of our Cardinal Archbishop, and of those who advise him, that, if it be your gracious will, this portion of your faithful flock may continue to worship you before this Altar dedicated to the glory of your Name, and that your Holy Sacrifice may continually be offered in this holy temple until the time of your glorious return, so that your faithful flock, washed in the Blood of the Lamb and continually renewed by your grace, may be made ready a people acceptable unto you; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory be.
St. Thomas More, our heavenly patron. Pray for us.
