Requests to the readership and thanks

First, may I ask you to pray for the repose of the soul of a priest friend of mine, who died yesterday.  I am grateful to those of you who remembered my intention in the novena leading up to Pentecost.

Please say a prayer for Fr. Richard Hogan, of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.  He was pastor of St. Raphael’s in Crystal, MN.  Fr. Hogan was the co-author of a book on John Paul II’s theology of the body, together with now Bishop John LeVoir of New Ulm.  Fr. Hogan was the nephew of the late Msgr. Richard Schuler.

Thanks in advance.

Also, I ask a prayer, in a rather intense way actually, for a particular important personal intention.

Moreover, I extend thanks to those of you who have recently sent donations.   It is an honor and privilege to pray for benefactors.  I remember you at Mass.  I have recently added the follow people to me list for the next time I say Mass for the intention of those who have been benefactors.
