2011 Cycle of Prayer - North American Old Roman Catholic Church

2011 CYCLE OF PRAYER

North American Old Roman Catholic Church

The Most Reverend Edward J. Ford, T.O.R. Metropolitan-Primate North American Old Roman Catholic Church

Greetings!

Every year the North American Old Roman Catholic Church publishes a Cycle of Prayer for the use of our clergy, religious and laity to assist them in keeping the needs of the Church at large and our own jurisdiction in particular in their daily and weekly prayers.

Each week of the year is dedicated to a particular intention, and we encourage all of our parishes, missions, clergy, religious and laity to remember the particular intention of the week in their regular prayer life. Sometimes those intentions are for our own parishes, missions etc, and other times they are for the intentions of the church in general or for the world and its leaders.

I am pleased to once again present and recommend this year’s Cycle of Prayer to you and encourage you to pray with us for the needs and blessings according to the respective intention for each week.

Please be assured that you will be remembered in prayer throughout the year as we celebrate and pray together for God’s blessings and guidance.

Archbishop Edward J Ford, TOR
