ReplyDeletePlease pray for Dakota (a non-Catholic 11th-grader), Jacob (a 9th-grader), and me as we participate in a regional WYD celebration near Bowling Green, KY, on Aug 20-21. We will be camping out (without tents) with hundreds of others who were unable to travel to Madrid, but will be united with those in Spain in Faith and in the Holy Spirit. We will also pray for you!
ReplyDeleteDear sisters and brothers, “Pilgrims for Christ”,
ReplyDeleteI was happy to check in on your website to catch up with what sounded like a wonderful trip thusfar, including your time in Fatima. What a joy---and what a blessing for all of you. I’m sure that by now you are in Madrid for the beginning of World Youth Day, and I want you to know that you continue to be in my daily special prayers. In fact, yesterday and earlier today, I was visiting our seminarians who are having a 3-day In-Service time on the grounds of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration in Mishawaka, Ind. I was talking not only with the seminarians (in particular Deacon Dan Hyman of your parish) about all of you, but also with the dear Sisters. They promised to keep you in their prayers before the Blessed Sacrament, as they are already praying from the pilgrim group from their own diocese of Ft.Wayne/South Bend with Bishop Rhoades leading their pilgrimage. So, know that you are and remain in the hearts of many, many of us here back home.
My prayer for you is this:
Dear Loving God, please continue to send Your blessings upon our dear young people and their adult chaperones from the Diocese of Kalamazoo who are joined with millions of young people from all over the world these days at World Youth Day. Deepen their Faith in You; increase their Hope in Your abiding Presence with Your holy people; make more fervent their desire to reach out in Love in Your name to those in need; strengthen their commitment to be Your witnesses in the world wherever You lead them; let Your Holy Spirit keep them in Your love and protection under the gentle care of our dear Blessed Mother, who will constantly lead them closer to her Son, and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Please continue to travel faithfully, enjoy what you’re experiencing immensely, and return safely to your families and your Church here in the Diocese of Kalamazoo, and know that we are very proud of each of you.
In the Love of Christ our Light, + Bishop Paul J. Bradley
Thank you Jesus for the incredible shepherd we have in Bishop Bradley!

ReplyDeleteIn Thanksgiving for prayers answered--that Andy Reck was able to have his treatment on Friday after it had seemed impossible days before. Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos, pray for Andy's complete healing!
ReplyDeleteIn our modern world of science, we're sometimes tempted to think of prayer, petition, and merit as a mathematic equation. "Pray about X for Y number of hours, fasting for W days, and X will be answered." We've come to expect an immediate answer to our problems... like a simple program that has occasional bug, but generally works well with a few clicks of the mouse.
