Happy Monday! You know what that means — it’s time to Put It To Work! We’re gonna take St. Pope John Paul II’s advice to stop wasting our suffering and start putting it to work to the cross. Mondays, which can be a stressful or chaotic day, is the perfect time for us to set our sights on God and swap prayer intentions with the promise of “putting them to work” for one another.
Instead of allowing today to turn into a “manic Monday,” we’ll actively unite any little suffering we might have during the week to the cross for the other person’s intention.
Here are my intentions for the week:
- For my friend, Nicole, who is shouldering the heavy cross of miscarriage. Please pray for Nicole and her family as they mourn the death of their baby, Samuel Nicholas. (You can read about Samuel’s story here.)
- For women battling postpartum depression and those who love them. I pray that they will find the courage to get help, that their doctors will help them find healing, and that their loved ones will help them through their illness. I pray that their family members will seek help to learn how to be the best support possible and facilitate healing. I pray for an end to the stigma of this very real, very painful, and very treatable illness. May we all lift up the women who are hurting with a disease that they desperately want to be rid of.
- For a special intention
Your turn! What intentions can I start “putting to work” for you this week? I will add them to my prayer journal and pray for you by name throughout the week. Please share them in the comment box below, on the blog Facebook page, or send them to me via the “contact” button on the main menu bar.
Thank you for your prayers!
Señora! I would so appreciate a prayer or two this week. I’m starting what they call “Math block” where I’m in multiple classes learning how to teach math to elementary students. I’ve heard it’s the hardest semester I’ll be taking so im very nervous. I’ve been praying that everything will be alright. Thanks again and I will keep you and your adorable family in my prayers too
You’ve got it, Anna! Congratulations on advancing so far in your studies to become a teacher. I will continue to pray for you as you begin what sounds like a difficult semester. You can do it!!!
