My sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. I became active here only after his death, but I truly enjoyed reading his posts. He was one of the really nice guys and a very knowledgeable Catholic whose personality came through his writing.

May God bless and guide you.

I attended a convention for Beginning Experience-Worldwide Ministry for the divorced, widowed and separated over the Fourth of July and there were at least 12 and maybe 14 priests there. We even had a Bishop there from England!

One in particular, shared with me after a 6:30 AM daily Mass that so many God fearing and truly-doing-the-will-of-God priests are hurting over the reception they are receiving when out in public.

(During the petitions in the Mass I voiced "For an increase in priestly vocations, Lord hear our prayer.) This is something we all could be doing when we attend daily Mass.

We still need to pray for our priests and for an increase in VOCATIONS to the priesthood and the consecrated and religious life.

Prayer bump.

Prayer for the Health of the Holy Father
 
We pray to Abba, the Eternal Father, in and subject to His will, in the name, the heart and the blood of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life, and through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and as Mediatrix of all graces, that Pope John Paul II, will be cured and healed of all illness and, that his earthly life shall extend, free from any harm, so that the Pope will continue to serve as Vicar of Christ for many years to come.

Amen.
