Welcome....

...to the St. Blog's Prayer Network. This is the place to share petitions, intercessions, praises, and thanksgivings, to pray and be prayed for.

A few simple rules and procedures:

1) Please send all requests to oratefratres@yahoo.com . I will post them from there.

2) The Welborn Protocol applies here. If you wish to remain anonymous, or to be known by initials, please state that in your request.

3) Commonsense rules on civility and charity apply. No calling down of heavenly lightning on anyone or anything, no political stumping, no requests for excessive wealth....you get the picture.

4) I ask all visitors to at least say a brief prayer for all those who have posted. I also ask those who celebrate the Hours to make some mention, and I especially ask priests to remember them at the altar.

Thank you, and God bless you!
