Two prayer requests....
The first is a grim one. Some time ago, I mentioned that a friend had requested prayers for a woman he knew who was unexpectedly pregnant and tempted to abort her child. Yesterday, he sorrowfully informed me that she had made the wrong decision. Prayers for this woman, that she will come to repentance and acceptance of Christ's healing love, would be a blessing in this tragic situation.
The second is joyful- though I'll admit it is tinged with envy on my part. Tommorow, Fr. David, Fr. Joseph, and a group of students will be heading out on the Spring Break pilgrimage to Rome . Prayers for their safe travel and spiritual benefit would be welcome.
