++MESSAGE
FROM THE COORDINATOR
Hi,
Everyone,
Welcome to all those who
have joined us since last time. Several are folks Bob and I met at the Avila
conference. We had such a great audience there!
I’m told the Leavenworth,
Kansas prayer groups are rolling along
smoothly. Jane Stucker has been working hard to make sure all the details get
taken care of. I know she has many great people there to help her and who are
working out many of the details together. I know because she praises them in
her emails!
The Prince of Peace group
in Olathe, Kansas was well-attended this afternoon. Many had been absent due to
illness and vacation. Our thanks once more, to Chris who leads the rosary for
us there.
Father David Fontaine has
apparently been busy spreading the word at his new parish because I have had
several emails from people in California—and some have indicated they are from
Our Lady of Mt Carmel parish.
Remember to pause for a
moment each day and lift all of the members of this group in prayer. If you
feel isolated at any time, remember there are people around the globe praying
for your prodigal. And anytime you want to have a prayer meeting just call and
you will always have four more persons to pray with you—the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother.
Bob and I sure could
use YOUR prayers, as life keeps unfolding. We pray for each of you every
evening. May ALL of our prodigals find their way home.
I would love to hear from YOU!
May God bless all of us and grant us His Peace.
Peace,
MaryAnn

PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR MAY 7,
2004
[Prayer
intentions submitted to this group are shared only in the semi-weekly
email update sent to members of the online prayer group. Please keep all of us
and our prodigals in your prayers--just as we will pray for you.]
LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Dear MaryAnn,
I am enjoying the Parents
Rosary Novena and have to tell you that I feel like something is happening even
though I don't know quite sure what. I do know that my faith is strong and I
trust in the Lord to take care of this situation. The Lord seems to be very busy
taking care of a lot of things, so I must be praying very hard. Maybe it is
just deepening my prayer life that is making me feel better but that is what it
is all about. ~Kansas~
Dear MaryAnn,
I just wanted to let you know
my son has attended church 2 weekends in a row. I would like to thank you for
the prayers. He was only gone for 10 months, and I do believe he has returned…he
is leaving to go to graduate school…leaving is very hard for me..Tears have
already begun to shed. But my main reason for writing is to let you know prayers
work! ~Kansas~
Dear MaryAnn,
I just want you to know that we parents of
prodigals really do appreciate all that you do for us & ours. It was good to
hear you speak with feeling & conviction at the conference. Thank you so very
much for your ministry. That goes to your family, too as one couldn't do it
alone. ~Missouri~
Editor,
So grateful I found this web
site. I want to get a copy of your prayers for my mother. She is elderly and
hurting so much over the children and grandchildren who stopped going to church.
~California

GOD'S WORD FOR US
For thus says the Lord GOD:
Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As a
shepherd seeks out his flock when some of his sheep have been scattered abroad,
so will I seek out my sheep; and I will rescue them from all places where they
have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.
I myself will be the shepherd
of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the Lord GOD. I will seek the
lost, and I will bring back the strayed. ~ Ezekiel 34: 11-12,15-16 ~
WORDS OF
HOPE
If you want God to hear your
prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants,
provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. ~ St.
Thomas of Villanova
Nothing restrains anger, curbs
pride, heals the wound of malice, bridles self-indulgence, quenches the
passions, checks avarice and puts unclean thoughts to flight, as does the name
of Jesus. ~St. Bernard

WHAT'S NEW AT MARIAN MANTLE
NEW ON THE WEB SITE
Prayer Groups:
Now, you can find a list of prayer groups that pray for prodigals or post the
information about your prayer group on the web site.
Back issues of
The Mantle: Previous Online Prayer Group updates have been archived on the web
site. Specific prayer requests have not been posted for viewing by the general
public. The MM Group feels these are personal and should remain private and
shared only within our online group.
Rosary

donated by the O’Hara family to be given away at the talks. Unfortunately, we
haven’t kept a record until now. If you won a rosary, please let us know about
it.
NEWSLETTER
We are working on the next
issue of the Newsletter. If you have something to include, please contact us.

The talk is now

PRAYER TEAM MEMBERS
If you would be
interested in being included on the list of those who attend and pray or pray at
home while MaryAnn is speaking, please let us know by email or phone
913-526-8977. We try to have at least one or two people who attend each talk.
Of course, we are always asking people to life Marian Mantle and its efforts in
prayer. We firmly believe it is prayer that makes this effort so well-received
and allows us to reach many who are hurting—both the prodigals and those who
love and pray for them.

hear your story. Email her or phone 913-526-8977. If you have any suggestions
