My friends in Christ,
I wish you a happy Mother's Day weekend. Last week, I was discussing my path to the priesthood with the Women's Club. Looking back, I give credit to our Blessed Mother for my priestly vocation. It was in prayer at her shrine in Lourdes where I felt the first confirmation of my calling. Our Blessed Mother is a spiritual mother to all of us.
Pope Francis has asked all Catholics to pray a daily rosary during the month of May for an end to the pandemic. This Mother's Day, I invite you to bring your heart to the Virgin in prayer, whether through a Rosary, a Hail Mary, or your own personal prayer. She is our most powerful intercessor in Heaven.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
