 As always, we begin in prayer, giving thanks to our Lord for all the many blessings, always through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, the Mother of God, as we continue to pray for peace in the world, especially in the Middle East and in Ukraine, peace in our nation, peace in our church and in our families. And, of course, we continue to pray for our leaders as well. We also want to pray for you. If you have any prayer intentions that you'd like to share with us, you can send us an email directly at
