27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

If you have never stepped through this door, consider this your invitation. Located on 1st Ave W between Lee and Comstock, the House of Prayer is a resource available to all Northwest Seattle Catholic parishioners. The building was originally constructed in 1910 as the convent for the Holy Name Sisters, but it is now named the House of Prayer. There are two sitting rooms for quiet reflection and at the heart of the house is the Adoration Chapel, the only one in Seattle with 24-hour access. The interior, with its stain glassed windows and original pews make it a warm and welcoming place for prayer. There are rosaries, prayer books, and information sheets in the chapel for your use. The light is always on.

Access is provided upon request. Use this link to register or call the St. Anne Parish office.
