PLEASE PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY

Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the

world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their

lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

January 26 Rev. Nathan Comeaux January 27 Rev. Gregory Cormier January 28 Msgr. Douglas Courville, JCL January 29 Rev. Robert Courville January 30 Rev. Angelo Cremaldi January 31 Rev. Barry Crochet February 1 Pope Francis

Pope Francis

God's criteria are quite different from those of men, that God does not manifest himself in the power of this world, but speaks to us in the humbleness of his love. We are called always to nourish great trust and hope for every person and his or her salvation. Even those who seem far from the Lord are followed -- or better, pursued -- by his passionate and faithful love."

Pope Francis Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.
