Prayer Requests? I'll Take Them on Retreat

Be still and know that I am God.

I'm going on a five day silent Ignatian Retreat starting Monday evening and ending Saturday. I will leave some posts scheduled to appear while I'm gone, but won't be moderating any comments. Please be patient; I will moderate them on my return. The only comments that will post will be those written by my colleagues, Susan and Chriss, who have the authority to post without moderation.

When I'm on retreat I always pray for the intentions of my readers and for all the challenges troubling our poor Church and our even poorer world. I look forward to the silence and peace that accompanies these days to seek the Lord's will in my life and for this little media apostolate! My motto for this retreat will be to fulfill the vision of the prophet Micah: to act justly, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with the Lord.


If you have an intentions for which you'd like me to pray, post them in the comment section and I will write them down in my retreat journal and pray throughout the week. I will also leave them in the intention box at the retreat center so you will receive the prayers of the priests who operate the center.

Please pray for me as well. I'm really looking forward to getting away from the barrage of bad news to simply sit and gaze on the face of Christ and seek His will in my life. And what a blessing to have the Tridentine Mass every day. Please also pray for our retreat master, Fr. James Buckley, FSSP, and all my sisters in Christ attending the retreat.
