At the beginning of this new year, let us make every effort to pray for our priests daily. Pray for our Parochial Administrator, Father John Sasse. Pray that they be holy, faithful and pure. And pray for vocations to the priesthood and the religious life. Remember: no priest, no Eucharist. Pray one Hail Mary, or better yet, one Memorare for our priests every day.
Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection,
implored Thy help or sought Thine intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother;
to Thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in Thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.
