New! How to Help the People of Ukraine
EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND CENTRAL ASIA: Ukraine READ MORE...
We pray for communities that have experienced violence as they are traumatized yet again.
May we bear witness to their pain.
May their voices be heard.
May their wounds be tended with the balm of your love.
We pray for our lawmakers. Move and stir their hearts to lead with deep empathy. Rather than partisan politics, convict our leaders to prioritize the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of those they serve—including and especially our children.
We pray for our nation as we learn of yet another tragedy this month. It is tragedy upon tragedy and our hearts are overloaded. Help us to both guard our hearts and to keep them open so that we might find ways to do our part in bringing to life the world you’ve promised in the resurrection of your child, Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Christ, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Amen.

As we prepare for the feast day of our patron Saint Ignatius of Loyola, this July 31st, SEEL Portland would like to offer a “virtue of the month” for the coming year.
The Spiritual Exercises are an experience first and foremost. The Exercises are also a powerful expression of prayer, a way of deepening
an ever-growing relationship with our loving Creator God and Creation, and a pathway to discernment in our everyday life. As we grow in our relationship with God, with others, with creation, we are also invited to grow in virtue.
July – the virtue of Reverence: Created in Love
Human beings are created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord. Spiritual Exercise 23
A grace of our lives is the experience of God’s unconditional love, revealed in Jesus, and poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This experience of God’s love is central to the Spiritual Exercises. Reverence is an invitation to dwell in the unconditional love of God, and an invitation to revere all of God’s creation.
