“No one has ever become poor by giving.” – Anne Frank
It may be hard to make it to the sidewalk as you can always think of a bunch of reasons to not make it out. Yet – when you do go —> do you ever regret it? Never doubt that God can use your peaceful, prayerful presence on the sidewalk to do great things. He can magnify your sacrifice and prayers on the sidewalk beyond anything we can imagine. (He multiplied two fish and five loaves of bread to feed 5000 – he can multiply your sacrifice and prayers on the sidewalk.)
Please bring your peaceful, prayerful presence to the sidewalk this week.

A Prayer for Fathers
God our Father, We give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation and for fathers who have embraced their vocation for many years; May they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.
We pray for fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice. May they be affirmed in their roles.
We pray for the fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. May they, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
