This post is absolutely and blatantly self-serving! I shudder to think about my present situation if there weren’t people praying for me out there. I am so grateful to all of you.
Therefore, I want to underscore a special group.
I received this note today:
Father, one of your Holy Hour “Sisters” had to step away from her commitment on Mondays. Another sister will cover Monday for you until we can get a replacement.
Anyone interested should email Janette Howe at SevenSistersApostolate@gmail.com
Thank you, can you please post this request on your blog?
UPDATE: I got a note today that Monday is still open.
Do you know about the Seven Sisters Apostolate?
In a nutshell, 7 women and perhaps a couple alternates, commit for 1 year to 1 hour of prayer for 1 priest each week. Hence, there is a lady on Monday, one on Tuesday, etc., ideally in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.
In some cases, though this is not obligatory, the priest or bishop may not even know who they are.
There are good resources at their site.
Perhaps some of you readers might, in your goodness, consider doing this, for me and for other priests as well.
Anyone wanting to accept this Prayer commitment respond to SevenSistersApostolate@gmail.

Fr. Z when I pray for the priests I pray for all faithful priests and bishops and in particular for the priests who have helped me in my life, and your name is always specifically included.

I have seven sisters. They are a great blessing to me. Ladies, please consider this for Fr. Z, but also raise up a group for your priest(s).
The Book, “Under the Shadow of His Wings” is the story af a Seminarian in Germany who was drafted into the SS. Great true story. At one point he is at a Convent Chapel and sees his name carved into the Sister’s prayer kneelers. When he asked the Mother Superior about it, He is told that they were asked to pray for him. The Mother Superior tells him he will be Ordained by the Pope in Rome. He says that is not possible. Shortly after, he receives orders from the SS to go to Rome. You can probably figure the rest.
Prayers for Priest!
