and the strength to overcome my afflictions.
For love of You, make me whole.
May I learn from the example of Father Seelos
and gain comfort from his patient endurance.
Amen. (Mention your intentions here)

Thank you so very much for this alert and posting this. Will begin immediately.
ReplyDeleteEven through all my many wonderful occasions to spend time with Sisters (nuns) growing up I'd never heard of Blessed Seelos until your site, Esther!!
I have seen the intercession of many Saints, perhaps Blessed Seelos will can help with something particularly difficult at this time.
Thanks again so much!
Blessings and hugs!
And for Mary Jane, do be assured of prayers for both your beloved brother, Steve, and for you, I know how difficult this time can be.
ReplyDeleteMay Steve know every joy of Heaven. Take care of you at this time.
Lou Ann, you can also contact the Seelos center anytime and they will be happy to add your prayer intentions to their list. We have a first class relic of Bl. Seelos. If you can, read his biography. He such a wonderful and caring...and hopefully...soon to be canonized saint.
ReplyDeleteA., Thank you for your prayers for Mary Jane's brother.
