Drive Thru Prayer 11-2-24

November 10, 2024

It was a brisk fall day for our last Drive Thru Prayer of the year.  We had four evangelists this November morning-Lisa, Phil, Rick, Sharon.

We didn't have many people stop by.  The first was M with whom Phil spoke in her native language of Spanish.  After speaking with her, we gave her an Our Lady of Guadalupe medal.   M sometimes attends Mass at our parish.

We also prayed with H and B.  B has anxiety/depression issues and recently lost her job.  Sharon gave her both a St Joseph medal and a St Dymnpha medal she happened to have on hand and briefly explained the concept of patron saints.  H has some Catholicism in his background and they have attended Mass at St Raphael occasionally. Phil brought H and B to our adoration chapel and left after a minute or so to allow them to pray.  Phil pointed out the section of our bulletin with contact information for the chapel and Sharon that is the coordinator before he brought them into the chapel. Phil thought B seemed immersed in prayer when he left them.

Lastly, Sharon noticed E at the bus stop in front of our church and offered him a Guardian Angel medal explaining it will help him to remember that there is always someone watching over him.
