The peaceful town of Assisi is one of the top dest The peaceful town of Assisi is one of the top destinations for Rome Experience seminarians on their free weekends, where they can walk in the footsteps of St. Francis. St. Francis also came down to Rome, with this statue commemorating Pope Innocent’s dream of Francis holding up St. John Lateran, the cathedral of the pope. May St. Francis’s example of humility and simplicity inspire us today and always!
Today we pray for the Church, priests, and all voc Today we pray for the Church, priests, and all vocations through the intercession of the Archangels. — Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
We pray in particular this week for this summer's We pray in particular this week for this summer's Class of 2022 and the upcoming 2023 applicants. Join us in praying with the words of our patron Pope St. John Paul II! — Lord Jesus, as You once called the first disciples to make them fishers of men, let your sweet invitation continue to resound: Come follow Me! Give young men and women the grace of responding quickly to your voice. Support our bishops, priests, and consecrated people in their apostolic labor. Grant perseverance to our seminarians and to all those who are carrying out the ideal of a life totally consecrated to your service. Awaken in our community a missionary eagerness. Lord, SEND WORKERS TO YOUR HARVEST and do not allow humanity to be lost for the lack of pastors, missionaries, and people dedicated to the cause of the Gospel. Mary, Mother of the Church, the model of every vocation, help us to say “yes” to the Lord who calls us to cooperate in the divine plan of salvation. Amen.

As we honor Our Lady of Sorrows, we ask that she a As we honor Our Lady of Sorrows, we ask that she accompany and intercede for all seminarians and priests! — O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and the death of your divine Son, look upon your priests with eyes of compassion, and awaken in their hearts a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of sin, in order that, being disengaged from all undue affection for the passing joys of this earth, they may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforward all their thoughts and actions may be directed towards this one most desirable object: Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen. (Adapted Prayer of St. Bonaventure)
As we celebrate the birth of Mary, Mother of Pries As we celebrate the birth of Mary, Mother of Priests, we ask that she bless and protect all vocations! — Mary, Mother of Jesus, throw your mantle of purity over our priests. Protect them, guide them, and keep them in your heart. Be a Mother to them, especially in times of discouragement and loneliness. Love them and keep them belonging completely to Jesus. Like Jesus, they, too, are your sons, so keep their hearts pure and virginal. Keep their minds filled with Jesus, and put Jesus always on their lips, so that he is the one they offer to sinner and to all they meet. Mary, Mother of Jesus, be their Mother, loving them and bringing them joy. Take special care of sick and dying priests, and the ones most tempted. Remember how they spent their youth and old age, their entire lives serving and giving all to Jesus. Mary, bless them and keep a special place for them in your heart. Give them a piece of your heart, so beautiful and pure and immaculate, so full of love and humility, so that they, too, can grow in the likeness of Christ. Dear Mary, make them humble like you, and holy like Jesus. Amen. (Prayer of St. Teresa of Calcutta)
