Each month, we join with Catholics everywhere in praying for the Holy Father's global intentions, while also lifting up Bishop Ricken's intercessions for the unique needs of our diocese. Together, these prayers unite us in faith and mission, offering a path of hope and grace for our local and global communities.
For a jubilee year of HOPE: May our witness as faithful disciples, draw an anxious world to discover the hope which does not disappoint.
For a reclaiming of Sunday as the Lordʼs Day: May we remove those distractions that make us increasingly less attentive to God in order that we might receive the grace to live the demands of our faith lived to its fullness by keeping Sunday as the day for the Lord.
For a greater appreciation of the Sacrament of Penance: May we, during this Season of Lent, rediscover the beauty of this Sacrament of healing and joy, allowing the Lord to erase our sins, to heal our hearts, and to reveal to us his compassionate mercy.
