Missionary Cenacle Intentions: We dedicate Fridays to the Mystery of the Passion and Death of the Lord. Today we pray:
For the end of all kinds of terrorism in the world, we pray.
For the people in the places where we have worked and no longer serve, we pray.
That we may work to protect the world God has given us, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Divina Misericordia, Santo Domingo de Heredia, Costa Rica, we pray.
For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.
For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Fr. Paul Keenan, ST, 2002; Fr. Thaddeus Searles, ST, 2015, we pray.
Reading: We must remember that victory is to be gained by prayer and watching; therefore, indolence, sloth and gluttony are dangerous. Our weapons must be watching, labors and fasting. (MCM, p. 94)
