Social Saturdays (3/12/11)

It's Saturday! That means we're chatting with the living and praying for the dead.
Prayer Requests:

• For the souls of the reposed, especially for Metropolitan Nicholas and for D. 
• For those suffering because of the recent earthquake and tsunami and their aftereffects, particularly those missing or hurt and their families.
• For A, that he be restored to peace and health.
• For Eden and Selah as they face surgery tomorrow.
• For C, that all making decisions on his behalf bring glory to God.
• For Christians in Ethiopia, Europe, Egypt, Somalia, China, the Middle East, and around the world who are persecuted for their faith. 

Continuing Prayer Requests:

• For the souls of the reposed, especially Kaye, Tim L., Mother Nadia Baranik, Fr. Constantine Brown, Elaine Dorko, Helen Boytim, and George Michael Ritchey. 
• For an abused woman and mother, A, who is in desperate straits and in need of many prayers, especially this Tuesday. 
• For Kat's family, including their current and future children, that they be restored to health and guided in discernment and finances in their next adoption. (Kat has other prayer requests at the link.) 
• For Francisco and his mother who are surrounded by violence that the Lord protect them and give them hope and peace as well as guide them to jobs that allow them to provide for their needs and glorify Him. 
• For all of our clergy, religious, and monastics that they be directed in strength, courage, patience, and fortitude to radically live God's will for their lives. 
• For mothers, that they not abort their offspring; for infants in danger of being put to death in the womb; for a change of heart of providers of abortions and of their collaborators; for human victims of stem cell research, genetic manipulation, cloning, and euthanasia; and for all entrusted with the government of peoples, that they may promote the "Culture of Life" so as to put an end to the "culture of death." 
• For Your Word From The Wise and all who are connected to it, that it may bring glory to God. 
• For the intentions of those who are praying. 

Do you have a prayer request you'd like to add? Please put it in the comment box any time this week so we can pray with you.

What's going on at Your Word From The Wise?

• I followed up on the interviews that are out. 
• I sent out an interview request.
• I coordinated and conducted a new interview. It will hopefully be posted soon!
• I added the Link Within widget to the blog which automatically pulls 5 related posts and places links to them at the bottom of every post. It says the recommendations it makes will get better with time.
