This is a beautiful prayer written by my ancestor, Archbishop John Carroll.

He’s your ancestor? Very cool! This thread caught my eye because our pastor said this prayer as part of the intercessions at Mass today! I love it, and so relevant still for our times.

I agree with you, @Limoncello4021.

It really warms my heart when I hear that my ancestor’s prayers are still being said in parishes today.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Yes, due respect is surely needed today.
