"All Our Bags Are Packed and We Are Ready to Go..."

+

It was nothing short of a gift and blessing to meet with the Team last week as they met one last time before they begin their pilgrimage and work in Africa.  Each of them exuded a quiet peace and joy about the upcoming trip that was lovely to see and be a part of.  It was palpable and wonderful to witness...

Any and all prayers offered for each of them and for the Mission are very much appreciated.  

Sacred Heart of Jesus, 
      Pray for us...

Rosa Mystica, 
      Pray for us...

St. Raphael, 
                         Pray for us...

Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.

I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the "medicine of God" I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (here mention your special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
