“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

Bishop Sample of Milwaukee has published a letter to be read at all parishes on Sunday. The article in on Caritas in Veritate. I like to pray for a specific bishop and he is my pick today.

oops made mistake..Sorry is Marquette
Always include a priest also!
Father Z, this is going to sound like a joke, but I’m not kidding.
How does a layperson (or anybody) keep track of everyone and everything that needs prayer? Do people keep a little list? This suggestion for prayer for Bishops reminds me of this problem.
Many times, I feel discouraged about prayer, because I realize I can’t possibly pray for everyone directly, or I’ve forgotten someone, or some other issue. I even at times feel anxious when I am trying to be in prayer, because I feel that sense of anxiety, not to forget someone or something. That certainly can’t be right, anxiety has no place in prayer.
Suggestion? Thank you so much.
Actually, Kathleen10, if you read the book “The Help”, or saw the movie, you’d have seen someone do exactly that–write down everyone who asked her to pray for them. Because of this, she had the reputation of being a very efficacious prayer warrior. What I do when I’m asked to pray, or I’ve encountered a situation or person who needs prayer, is pray immediately a quick religious ejaculation. Then later, when I am praying my evening prayers, I pray generally for all those who had asked me to pray. And don’t worry about it, assign your guardian angel to pray for all that you intended to pray for.
The Guardian Angel Prayer for Friends
Guardian Angel,
watch over those whose names you can read in my heart.
Guard over them with every care
and make their way easy and their labours fruitful.
Dry their tears if they weep;
sanctify their joys;
raise their courage if they weaken;
restore their hope if they lose heart,
their health if they be ill,
truth if they err,
repentance if they fail.
I know this isn’t typically done, but please let me thank the people who respond to my question about prayer. Thank you! Beautiful prayer and suggestion. Thank you all.
This is neat. I signed up for Bishops Zubik, Sample, Chaput, and my missouri Bishops
I’m on the border of two dioceses. Praying for both bishops, and the one for my hometown. I also shared it to the Facebook page of my hometown parish.

We must also pray fervently for our priests! On this page about halfway down is a terrific little prayer book called “Chalice of Strength: Prayers for Priests.” It’s only $1 and a great resource of prayers for those who bring us Christ in the sacraments.
Is it all right to pray for our bishop’s conversion,
and if that doesn’t work: that he gets a transfer?
I’m sure he’d love to go back to his hometown of Chicago, anyway.
I’ve been praying for a while. Nothing happens.
He’s been blocking our requests for the TLM EF
Many broken hearts in our diocese.
