Today we pray for all women and men religious. In particular we pray for the orders serving throughout this Diocese, including the Franciscans, Benedictines, Carmelites, Daughters of Charity, Sisters of the Holy Cross, Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood and Oblate Missionaries of Mary Immaculate.
Lord, bless their work in your field; grant them success in their endeavors and a deepening of their understanding of their vocational call. Grant that they may be for us all an example of giving up everything to serve You. May Mary hold them close, take them by the hand and lead them to You, her Son.
