I was at Ss. Cyril & Methodius for early morning Mass recently when I noticed a stack of calendars sitting on a side table. On that pamphlet which covered several months, there were two priests from the Archdiocese of Detroit listed for each day. This included not only diocesan priests, but priests from religious orders who are working in the AoD, as well, such as the Fathers of the Holy Cross who help out at Assumption Grotto.
This calendar, which is provided by Rosary from the Heart, encourages saying a Rosary for the priests listed, and gives other ideas how to pray for our priests. Just look at how the rosary meditations are broken down in light of the fact that it is targeting priests.
Don't underestimate just how much prayer can do. People think that physical activity is the only good help to provide. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prayer should be the root of all activity. By praying for our priests - including those whom we do not know, not only helps them, but it helps all with whom they have contact.
Consider glancing at the calendar daily and remember these priests in your prayer. Or, simply mention to the Blessed Mother, to include the day's priests in your intentions.
Many thanks to those at Rosary from the Heart, who put this beautiful calendar together. It must have been tedious. I also thank Assumption Grotto webmaster, Rick, for hosting the PDF files after I learned that I could not upload them to blogger.
August Prayer Request for Priests
I'll post September up a few days prior to the end of August, with Rick's help again.
