Prayer for a Special Intention from our Parish Prayer Book
Dear Jesus, you have told us, 'Come to me and I will give you rest'. I pause before you now and ask you to listen to my prayer and special intention . . .

In friendship, my friend, I place this into your hands and I leave it to you. This intention, Jesus, comes from my heart. I place it into yours. You also told us, 'ask and you will receive'. In faith I entrust my prayers to you. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. Amen.
