Catholic Caucus: Ecce!
self | 8 April A.D. 2002 | father_elijah

Our thread in search of a patron saint for Catholic FReepers was a marvelous revelation. We have such a rich heritage as Catholics, that the possibilities are limitless. Although it is strictly unofficial (and no one elected me Pope) I would like to declare that we do indeed have a patron saint:

Mary, Queen of All Saints

I would say St. Augustine's Confessions.

I've been reading chapter 10 this week during lunch. Amazing, such self-knowledge with complete lack of self-absorption.

Prayer to Saint Raphael

O Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us: Raphael, Angel of happy meeting, lead us by the hand toward those we are looking for. May all our movements be guided by your Light and transfigured with your joy.

Angel, guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet of Him on whole unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and tired, crush by the separations and sorrows of life, we feel the need of calling you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so that we may not be as strangers in the province of joy, all ignorant of the concerns of our country. Remember the weak, you who are strong, you whose home lies beyond the region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene and bright with the resplendent glory of God.

Flannery O'Connor quotes this prayer, which she attributes to Ernest Hello, in a letter dated 14 July 1964, less than a month before her death.

God our Father, protect these priests who do Your work in Africa. Guide them on their mission, give them spiritual sustenance and material, as well. Let them have no burden but only confidence in You and in the work they do for Your glory as well as for the persecuted of Africa.

Our prayers follow you, father_elijah. V's wife.

A bump and a prayer for all priests, especially Father Elijah, may he remain strong in his faith, accomplish his mission, and stay safe.
