praying for priests

We ask, why pray for priests? We should pray for for priests and bishops because this has been the practice of the Church since apostolic times. It's a matter of revealed truth. It is  divine mandate. Please visit  www.foundationforpriests.org website for resources on the priesthood, vocations, spiritual motherhood, spiritual warfare, prayer.

DAUGHTER OF THE CHURCH

Pictured: Kathleen welcomes Most Reverend Kevin Vann, as the Bishop of Orange Diocese, CA., Dec. 10, 2012. She is holding the robe of Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem in which she was invested in 2002. Knights and Dames of the Order "must stand before the world as a witness to the resurrection and life of the Lord Jesus Christ, and as a sign that God lives". 


Rekindling Eucharistic amazement

"Eucharistic contemplation also has an extraordinary power of healing. In the desert God ordered Moses to raise a bronze serpent on a pole. All those who were bitten by poisonous snakes and then looked at the bronze serpent were healed (cf. Nm. 21:4-9). ...What we should do, then, when afflicted by the venomous bites of pride, sensuality, and all the other illnesses of the soul…is to run before the Blessed Sacrament, to look at the host and let healing pass through the same organ through which evil so often passes--our eyes. (Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, This is My Body.)

All women are called to become spiritual mothers who give life to souls. St. Edith Stein teaches, "for an understanding of our unique feminine nature, let us look to the pure love and spiritual maternity of Mary. This spiritual maternity is the core of the woman's soul. Wherever a woman functions authentically in this spirit of maternal pure love, Mary collaborates with her. This holds true whether the woman is married or single, professional or domestic or both, a religious in the world or in the convent. Through this love, a woman is God's special weapon in his fight against evil..." (St. Edith Stein, essays on woman).

God's Healing Mercy Book: Finding a Path to peace and Joy

Pope Francis: "Do we really believe that Jesus can heal us and bring us back from the dead?". Healing in a word is resurrection; new life; an interior conversion wherein we are a new creation. We long to encounter the living, joyful, loving face of the Father of Mercy, healer of humanity. Forgiveness is key to healing. Saint Phillip Neri teaches, "If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a Crucifix, and think that Christ shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave His enemies, but even prayed His Heavenly Father to forgive them also. Let him remember that when he says the 'Our Father', every day, instead of asking pardon for his sins, he is calling down vengeance on himself."
