Lenten Daily Office Ordo for St. Thomas More Catholic
Church, Toronto
Personal Ordinariate of the
Chair of St. Peter
As a mission church we are committed to
praying the Daily Office. During Lent every family and individual is asked to
offer EVENING PRAYER for:
+ the intentions of the Church and the Holy Father
+ for
the role of STM in the New Evangelization
+ for outreach to those who would be brought into the
full communion of the Catholic Church through the Personal Ordinariate from many
backgrounds and experiences.
A PRAYER FOR THE HOLY FATHER
O GOD, the pastor and ruler of all the faithful, mercifully look upon thy servant Francis whom thou hast been pleased to set as pastor over thy Church: grant him, we beseech Thee, to be in word and teaching a wholesome example to the people committed to his charge; that he with them may attain unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We pray that by the grace of the Holy
Spirit and the Sacred Heart of Jesus we may worship and serve God in the beauty
of holiness and so be sustained and grow as a community of faith in the midst
of the city.
Our thanks to Tim Smith for assembling the
material for the Canadian version of the Ordinariate Ordo in compliance with
the Roman Lectionary and the Universal Calendar of the Catholic Church.
This work assumes

noted in the Appendix. Assembled 2013, Tim Smith. Please report any errors to
