Strategic Planning Prayer

Holy Spirit, we ask that you would come in power
and renew every church parish in the
Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux with the fire of your love.   

In particular, we ask your blessing upon 
our parish, [insert your parish name].

Draw us together as one.  
Strengthen the bond between our priests and laity 
and allow our unity to be a prophetic sign for our times.
Empower us in every way, that we might listen, discern,
and follow you wherever you might lead us.   
May your Kingdom come and your will be done.  Amen +

God has already give us the blueprint for renewal – prayer!
What better way to pray than with the Rosary,
a spiritual anchor in our Cajun tradition.
Each decade of the Rosary traditionally consists
of specific meditations that bring us into deeper communion with Christ.

As you meditate on the specific mysteries each day,
please integrate the following intentions:

First Decade
Pray for blessings and spiritual protection for all aspects of strategic planning
Second Decade
Pray for Bishop Fabre
Third Decade
Pray for all of our priests and deacons
Fourth Decade
Pray for the renewal of your parish
Fifth Decade
Pray for the renewal of our Diocese
