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, Oblate Missionaries of Mary Immaculate.
May their example help others to grow in holiness, and may they be continually renewed in their vocation. May Mary draw them to her and in so doing draw them closer to her Son.

See that beautiful header image up there? Yeah, that one. Gorgeous, if I say so myself. Hand-crafted with care by the masterful artisan Argent of Argent by the Tiber and Here There Are Lions fame. Argent, non sub dignus.

May they in their retirement find new ways to live out the vocation to which Christ has called them and continue to grow in conformity to Him in whose person they acted so many times. May Mary draw them to her Immaculate Heart and show them the way to her Son.

It is a great blessing for the Church to have such a holy pope and our duty and delight to pray for him. May he help lead us all closer to Christ, and may he always steer the Bark of Peter straight and true. Sweet Mother Mary, watch over him, protect him from those who would wish him ill, strengthen him in his office and draw him ever closer to your Son.
