Lately, several times the “Seven Sisters” apostolate has come across my screens, large and small. I want to bring this back up to the readership’s awareness. This is an important apostolate.. specially right now. I’ve written about this several times in the past. However, there are always new readers and, as the saying goes, repetita iuvant.
There are more and more urgent reasons to pray for priest, especially a certain category of priests: cancelled and semi-cancelled.
Do you know about the Seven Sisters Apostolate? I’ve written about them several times. HERE
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.
This post is absolutely and blatantly self-serving! I think there has been an impact of this group over the last year. I am grateful to all of them who participated on my behalf.
Perhaps some of you readers might, in your goodness, consider doing this, for me and for other priests as well.
If any of you are moved to form a group for your local priest or bishop then… my work here is done.

I think it’s wonderful. I’m in one group for a priest who has a lot to deal with and I’m happy to be in it. My son was recently ordained and I asked him about it, but he didn’t know much about it. Thankfully, some ladies from his new parish approached him and started a group for him. This mother is so grateful!
