For disarmament - especially nuclear - that leads to world peace, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate of San Oscar Romero, El Salvador, we pray.

For the members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Sr. Sylvia Griglak, MSBT we pray.

For the deceased members of the Missionary Cenacle, especially Jackie Topham, MCA, 2003, we pray.

Reading: We have just this refreshment: "Where sin abounded, grace did more abound." (Rom. 5: 20) I would never mention these things to you but for these little children whose faces I see at the windows who are peeking in upon us and are crying out always to you to direct them, to save them; who say to you what the Apostles said to the Lord, "Save us, we perish." (Mt. 8-25) (MCM, p. 298)
