Prayer Calendar
We are looking for groups, organizations and religious communities to join our prayer calendar to pray for those who are asking for Dorothy's intercession for a special favor or grace. We are praying for the intentions posted on the Prayer Requests page and for those intentions not posted but being prayed for privately.
We ask for a monthly commitment by choosing either :
a recurring day of the week such as "the 3rd Tuesday of every month"
or
a recurring date such as "the 16th of every month".
And how you fulfill your monthly prayer commitment is your choice. Some examples are: including an intention at morning or evening prayer, gathering for a special liturgy each month, saying a rosary, praying a common prayer together or if your community is spread out, everyone devotes private prayer on your chosen day/date. There are also some sample prayers below the calendar towards the bottom of this page that can be used.
If you want to participate, pick your day and go to the bottom of this page to fill out the form and hit the submit button. You will be posted on the calendar within 24 hours.
Listed here are the groups, organizations and communities represented
on the Prayer Calendar above.
We are grateful for their participation and we look forward to more joining with us.
