Our Patroness
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!
Our Priestly Patron - The Cure of Ars
“You show me the way to Ars and I'll show you the way to heaven."
Our Religious Patroness - St Therese of Lisieux
"Let us convert souls; this year, we must form many priests who love Jesus and who handle Him with the same tenderness with which Mary handled Him in His cradle."
Our single laywoman patroness - St Gemma Galgani
"Jesus is the owner of my heart, and belonging to Him I find that I can smile even in the midst of tears."
Our Wife and Mother Patroness - Blessed Anna Maria Taigi
"The practices of mortification should be moderated by prudence and the advice of a wise director because it often happens that the devil urges a soul to excessive penances to tire her and render her unfit for the service of God and the fulfillment of her duties."
Fr Benedict Groeschel on Eucharistic Adoration: "Silence, reverence, gratitude, loving devotion can flood the soul if one is blessed to do this for an hour."
One of the commitments of the Spiritual Motherhood for Priests devotion is to offer one hour a month in Eucharistic Adoration for priests. This is just a suggestion for those ladies who already practice this devotion and any others who would like too; this month could you spare a prayer and moment with our Lord for Fr Groeschel (and the order he founded the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal; CFR'S) he has given Our Lord and His Church so much and been a tireless Shepard to His flock. Fr Groeschel who by the way took his name not from the famous St Benedict but from St Benedict Labre a homeless man in Italy that couldn't get accepted into any religious order and died on the steps of the church destitute. St Benedict Labre's influence certainly has been profound in Father’s, mission wouldn’t you say!
Happy Anniversary Fr. Groeschel and thank you ! I've learned so much from your books and talks about how to adore and love our Eucharistic Lord... God bless you for ever. I love you. I also love St. Benedict Joseph Labre, who certainly is a model for anyone who loves Eucharistic Adoration. A misfit in this world , he was a great friend of the Sweet Jesus in the Sacrament of Love. If ever in Rome, go to the Church of Santa Maria dei Monti where the saint is buried and pray. It's beautiful there.
We love Fr Groeschel too; we have watched him on EWTN for many years. We met some of the CFR's at WYD and then again this year at the SCENE Congress in Sydney. They are an awesome order and increasing quickly. We don't have to look too far to get an pure example of sanctity from Fr Greoschel - I believe. Doing the post was my pleasure Letizia I loved putting it together. May God continue to bless him and you! Z

Venerable "Mamma Margaret" The holy mother of St John Bosco
"When you came into the world I consecrated you to the Blessed Virgin Mary. When you began your studies, I inculcated this devotion in you. Now I want you to belong totally to her. Make your companions those who are devoted to Mary; and if you reach ordination, never cease to inculcate and spread this devotion."
God our Father, we thank you for making Mamma Margaret a strong and wise woman, a heroic mother and a wise educator. Give us the joy of seeing her raised to the honour of the altars so that all may imitate her way of holiness, lived as daily and humble service of her neighbor. Through her intercession grant us the grace we request with a trusting heart. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
