Our team had an engaging and fruitful February and beginning of March. In addition to our presence at the Immaculate Conception food pantry on numerous occasions, we also had the opportunity to evangelize at the annual Chili Cook-Off. Please pray for all of those people we encountered, all those who visited our tables, all those who received sacramentals from us, and all those who entrusted their intentions to our prayers. Here are the prayer intentions we received:

From the food pantry:

Dawn: that her surgery will be successful and that her insurance will pay for it.
Jonathan: He has been crippled since birth; that his legs will grow stronger and that the kids at school will not make fun of him.
S: that the medications will work so she can avoid surgery.
W: for unity in her family and community, for a financial breakthrough so she can pay her bills, to break a generational curse, and for good health and strength for her family.
A: for healing of her knee and for her family.
Anonymous: for prayers for her sick dad and the ill in my family to come.
R: that his dream of becoming a professor of dance at Cornell University will come true.
Frank: for his ulcer and his colon and lung cancer to heal.
Anonymous: Please pray that all hearts will be open to peace.
Anonymous: Please pray for better days.
U: for my grandson.
U: for my brother Frank who has colon cancer and diabetes.

From the Chili Cook-Off:

Anonymous: for her grandma.
Anonymous: for the world and the earth.
Charlotte: for the miracle of a loving soulmate in her life, especially through the intercession of our Blessed Mother.
Anonymous: for healing of Otto and Britton.
Josie: "For five-year-old Josie, who was drawn to our table by the Rosaries, which she said were beautiful. I told her she could pray on each bead but she said she didn't know how to pray. I asked her if she knew about God but she'd never heard of Him. I saw her parents standing a few yards away watching. I told her she could talk to God any time - when she was sad or when she was happy and that he would always be listening. Then I gave her (and her parents) a brochure about how to pray the Rosary and a Catholic Devotional prayer book. May the Holy Spirit continue to speak to this child with His love."
Anonymous: for the healing of Dorothy and Joe.
Anonymous: for my father who has cancer and advancing dementia. I am the caregiver. For patience and compassion.
Anonymous: for a young fellow who knew passages from the Bible and said he was a minister.
Anonymous: for an eight-year-old girl who knew nothing about God. She took a medal and some pamphlets. Later in the afternoon she came back with her friend. Both of them  were very charming.
