Please pray for my intentions? I have two major research projects due next week. One concerning Thomas Aquinas’ Old Testament commentaries and the other regarding the Holy Spirit in the Trinitarian Theology of Thomas Aquinas. In addition, my wife is about to give birth any day to our third child. I am overwhelmed and trying to finish up my papers. Please pray that the Father would send the Holy Spirit upon me and give me through his Spirit the grace to write, research, and produce two pieces of scholarship which will give glory to God and enable me to grow in my vocation as a student and teacher. Please ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to intercede on my behalf that I have the grace to accomplish these tasks and that I would have the strength of mind and heart to persevere until the end. Finally, please pray for my wife and children that they would be given the strength to do God’s will as well!
