Prayers for Prodigal Catholics
THE MANTLE We Join in Prayer Under the Mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary [Please send your prayer requests to pray@marianmantle.com or maryann@marianmantle.com]
++MESSAGE FROM THE COORDINATOR ++MESSAGE FROM THE COORDINATOR Hi, Everyone, It's a busy month for me with presentations scheduled throughout. Bob and I were privileged to meet some very nice folks and renew some old friendships at St. Patricks in Kansas City, Kansas last Saturday. We felt as if we were coming home since we became acquainted with so many last year during RCIA where I was a sponsor for a young woman. Yesterday, we found that same friendliness and hospitality at St. John's LaLande in Blue Springs. Those ladies made some wonderful food. Bob felt obligated to try a second dessert :-). As always, we met people who are hurting with the same hurts that you and I have experienced. We pray for them that they will find the peace to enjoy life in spite of the situation and the strength to persevere in prayer for as long as it takes for their prodigal loved one to come home.
If you know of
someone whose parish or group might be interested in hosting a presentation of
Silent Strength, please give them my email address or phone number. There is
no fee for the presentation. All I ask is travel expenses (for out of city
locations) and/or a free will offering be taken to pay for our costs to travel
to the meeting place.
I'm rejoicing that
I have a new book completed. It's titled "Through Her Eyes" and Other
Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary. It's taken a while to finish
since most of the meditations and poems were written in the middle of the
night at those times when I awoke and began to think about Mary and
Jesus. It's had good reviews so far.
We all welcome
those new members who have joined with us today. We are all in this
together. As our online group grows, please remember to pray with us (even if
all the time you can spare is to utter the words "Help, Lord!) every Friday at
3:00pm. The Marian Mantle group prays the rosary and the chaplet of Divine
Mercy in front of the Blessed Sacrament at that time. We pray for your
prodigals, our prodigals, and for all the names that have been written around
the picture of Our Lady of Sorrows.
God bless all of
us and grant us His Peace.
Peace,
