For this Lenten “Water for Life” Drive CrossCatholic has provided us with the following universal prayers…
And whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple – truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.” (Matthew 10:42)
Lenten Universal Prayer for Mass (Intercessions) Cycle C (Water Theme) (by Rev. David G. Caron, OP)
First Sunday of Lent C: For our consistent Lenten renewal in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving; that our partnering with Cross Catholic Outreach may provide clean drinkable water for those who have none. We pray to the Lord.
Second Sunday of Lent C: For the hungry, the thirsty and the deprived whom our Lenten sacrifices serve. May our partnership with Cross Catholic Outreach meet the needs of those without drinking water by providing a well. We pray to the Lord.
Third Sunday of Lent C: Strengthen us to bear the Cross with our brothers and sister who suffer from so much around the world, especially those without food, drink, housing and so much more. May our work with Cross Catholic Outreach assist areas that lack access to clean drinking water. We pray to the Lord.
Fourth Sunday of Lent C: Transform the misuse of your gifts O God by sharing your blessings of food, water and so much more. May our collaboration with Cross Catholic Outreach provide access to safe, clean water through the instillation of sustainable water wells through the generosity of our parish. We pray to the Lord.
Fifth Sunday of Lent C: For all those who serve as ambassadors of Christ in our parish who have used the season of Lent to reach out to the most vulnerable among us, may our collaboration with Cross Catholic Outreach provide safe drinkable water for those who thirst physically and spiritually. We pray to the Lord.
