Lenten Healing Mission

During Lent 2011, Fr. David P. Richardson offered a seven-week Healing Mission as part of his pursuit of his doctoral in ministry. This series encompassed these weekly items with a different theme on the process of healing each week: 

  • Wednesday conference held at 7pm in the church
  • the weekend homily
  • a written article in the bulletin; click here for week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4 , week 5, week 6, week 7
  • opportunities for confession

In addition, he has written a special prayer that was said each day at the conclusion of every Mass:

Good and Gracious God, the healer of souls and the forgiver of sins, open my heart to the guidance of your Holy Spirit. I come before you in confidence seeking knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of my relationship with you and others. Touch my soul, my heart and my mind, that I might seek and accept healing of body, mind and spirit, in order to serve you with all my strength. As always I ask this through the intercession of Mary and the merciful heart of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
