Apologies for not responding sooner. Just saw your post.

PRAYER

Father, I adore You.  I give myself to You.

May I be the person You want me to be

and may Your will be done in my life today.

Thank You for the gifts You gave to Father Solanus.

If it is Your will, glorify him on earth

So that others will carry on his work

For the poor, lonely, and suffering of our world.

In order that others will joyfully accept Your divine plan,

I ask You to hear this prayer for Margaret and the victims of the building collapse,

through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.

Thank you, NYer.

While Martha and Margaret were growing up in the convent the Mass and sacraments were still the “old way” — just the tail end of it, I guess.

Many of the nuns from the convent are passed on now but a few that they knew are still living.
