Prayer Resources

“For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.” – CCC, no. 2558, citing St. Therese of Lisieux

 

God Loves You. And He is the Father you have been looking for all your life.

This is His love letter to you.

The Daily Prayer of Mother Teresa

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

Submit your intentions and we will lift them up in prayer, and join us in sharing your prayer intentions on social media #HearOurPrayers #WWP2019

 St. Thomas More Prayer and Women’s Ministries

Join us at St. Thomas More Parish for daily Mass, Adoration, a Small Group or Bible Study or any of the many opportunities for prayer, fellowship and spiritual growth.

Adoration

Monthly adoration the 22nd of every month. If the 22nd falls on a Saturday, adoration starts on Friday morning, and if the 22nd falls on a Sunday, adoration starts Monday morning. Time slot for When Women Pray is 4-5 pm.

Christ Renews His Parish

Christ Renews His Parish makes a space for Jesus to work in your life.  Men’s and Women’s weekends are held twice per year.  These are faith-filled weekends where you develop a closer relationship with Jesus, spend time in prayer and in the scriptures, and get to know more of your fellow parishioners. 

Legion of Mary

The Legion of Mary is an apostolate designed to sanctify its members and to bring all souls to Jesus Christ through Mary.  They perform the spiritual works of mercy and meet weekly.

Meditation

7:45 pm on the second Monday of every month in the Fireside Room.  Those who need instruction should arrive at 7:30. Meditation practice teaches us to appreciate the quiet moments when God has the chance to speak to us on our prayer conversation.

More Moms

More Moms is a ministry to parent(s) of pre-school aged children striving to build fellowship, friendships & faith.  Participation is a great way for working or stay-at-home parents to get connected to other young families, married or single.  Weekly prayer and play-at-the-parks are hosted, as well as a monthly “parent night out”.

Taize

7 PM on the last Tuesday of each month.  Taize Prayer (ta zay) began in an ecumenical monastic community in Taize, France.  It includes scripture, silence, prayer and chants in a candlelit atmosphere.  This prayer tradition helps all become more aware of God’s presence, personally, and in our world.

Weekly Adoration

Every Friday from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Young Ladies Institute

These women participate in charitable, spiritual, and cultural activities.  Their purpose is to help others in our organization, church, and community.  Activities include aiding seminarians, Right to Life baby showers for unwed mothers, blessed candles, lunches for the homeless and aid to YLI members.
