40 Days for Life – Madison starts Wednesday, Sept. 28 and ends on Sunday, Nov. 6th. We are in need of the following to keep our campaign alive!
Vigil Captains – Ideally, we need 14 so each Vigil Captain will only need to fill 12 hours every week.
Job Description: Watch the vigil calendar throughout the week leading up to your chosen one day of the week to ensure that each hour is covered. By the night before the start of your day, the hours must be filled. If they are not, you must call volunteers that might be able to fill the hours. If you cannot fill the hours, despite making numerous phone calls during the appropriate phone hours, you can call
someone on the emergency prayer warrior list. If you still cannot fill the hour, you must contact the vigil coordinator who will be watching the schedule as your backup.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta’s Nazareth Prayer for the Family
Heavenly Father,
you have given us the model of life
in the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Help us, O Loving Father,
to make our family another Nazareth
where love, peace and joy reign.
May it be deeply contemplative,
intensely eucharistic,
revived with joy.
Help us to stay together in joy
and sorrow in family prayer.
Teach us to see Jesus in the members of our families,
especially in their distressing disguise.
May the eucharistic heart of Jesus
make our hearts humble like his
and help us to carry out our family duties
in a holy way.
May we love one another
as God loves each one of us,
more and more each day,
and forgive each other’s faults
as you forgive our sins.
Help us, O Loving Father,
to take whatever you give
and give whatever you take with a big smile.
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
cause of our joy, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
Holy Guardian Angels,
be always with us,
guide and protect us.
Amen
