In gratitude to God for Mary, our model and our hope, we pray.

That all in the Cenacle be simple, humble, and charitable men and women, we pray.

For our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of Trinita, New Hartford, CT, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially our sick, we pray.

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Michael Mary Sullivan, MSBT, 2004, we pray.

Reading: How can we priests be priestly without an ardent devotion to our Blessed Mother? How can we even be thankful for our priestly vocation, for St. Bernard tells us, "God wishes us to honor Mary for He has placed in Her the fullness of every good. If we have any hope, any grace or pledge of salvation, let us acknowledge that it all comes to us from Her, Who super-abounds in delights." (MCM, p. 208)
