BEFORE MASS (SET FOR 10 AM TODAY) ON THIS FEAST DAY OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE – Pope Leo XIV, spoke to priests, seminarians, and consecrated persons from Latin America on this feast day of Mary our beautiful “star of evangelization”!
TURN HIS MESSAGE INTO A PRAYER FOR OUR PRIESTS, SEMINARIANS, AND CONSECRATED MEN AND WOMEN:
Father Almighty,
“Since we live in a confusing society of noise, today more than ever” strengthen the shepherds of our Church, and make them true “servants and disciples who announce the absolute primacy of Christ and who keep His voice clearly in their ears and hearts.”
Holy Spirit, breathe into them a renewed calling to stay faithful to God at all times, and draw them ever closer to our Savior through the wisdom and understanding of Scripture, reflective prayer, following the order and beauty of Christ’s Church.
Let them have the mindset of Pope Leo, XIV, “In joys and in difficulties, (their) motto must be: if Christ went through it, then we too must live what He lived. (Help them to) not cling to applause, for its echo fades quickly; nor is it healthy to dwell only on memories of crises or times of bitter disappointment.”
“Rather, let (them) see all of it as part of – formation and say, ‘If God has willed it for me, I too will it.'”
Praise be to God! AMEN!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us!
