ROLLO PRAYER PALANCA
Participation in prayer Palanca for rollos is one of the greatest blessings of working a Tres Dias Weekend.
You and another team member will go to the prayer room with the rollistas and a spiritual director. Each of you will offer up a short prayer for the rollistas, the rollo and the candidates. The rollista and the spiritual director will then leave for the rollo room. From the time they leave until they return to the chapel, you and your prayer partner will be interceding for God’s purposes to be fulfilled in the rollo room.
To help you in praying specifically, a poster showing the seating arrangements will be displayed. This will enable you to pray by name and by table for each candidate and professor. Also, it will include each team member by area of service.
Here are some general guidelines to remember while you pray:
After the rollista has completed the rollo, he will return to the prayer room with the spiritual director. All of you will join for a time of praise and thanksgiving for what God has accomplished. Bless Him that He has used His servant to proclaim His work. Thank Him too for the opportunity of joining together in prayer.
FINAL NOTE ON PALANCA
“Jesus Christ who died, more than that, who was raised to life – is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” (Romans 8:34)
