Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Code: 
In the great scope of the world's needs, this is a very small request but...

Please pray for me tomorrow as I meet with our Catholic School Principal and Middle School Youth Leader to discuss the possibility of a "Junior Legion of Mary" in our parish.

This is the third principal I've spoken to, besides two pastors, the Parent/Teacher Organization, the Deacon who directs the Parish School of Religion for children not attending our Catholic School, and a meeting with his teachers. After almost three years, we have had no one willing to work on this with me toward establishing a Junior Legion. Some were interested but...none actually persevered.

I consider myself "stubborn Irish" but it is not because I'm stubborn or Irish that I continue seeking a way to do this for God's Glory. The Legion of Mary helped me as a teenager to come to know Mary better and through her to love Jesus more. Why could the same not happen for the youngsters in my present parish? Our teens and younger children need to grow spiritually in and beyond their school years.

Other places have been able to begin Junior groups here in the USA and elsewhere, so I continue to pray and work for this, hoping if the timing may not be right, God eventually will provide this opportunity for our youth and their families.

Please pray for us. Thanks, so much.
 
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
 
That sounds fabulous! I pray you can find someone to work with you and a good outcome to the meeting. Let us know,
Mary.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Dear pjesus, Luigi, pollylodges, Mary, Hoo(name removed by moderator)mie, CountrySteve, and jnnywren,

Thank you all, so very much for your prayers. I was especially blessed by the words of St. Padre Pio commenting on this morning’s Gospel:
Thursday of the Ninth week in Ordinary Time
Commentary of the day
Saint [Padre] Pio de Pietrelcina (1887-1968)

Love of God and men

I am consumed by a twofold flame: love of God and of people. It’s like a volcano inside me that is constantly erupting and that Jesus has put in my heart, small as it is…

My God! Become ever more present to my poor heart and complete the work you have begun in me. In my deepest self I hear the voice insisting: “Sanctify yourself and sanctify others!”

This is what I really want…

Dear ready,

Thanks be to God, both the school Principal and Youth Minister were supportive. He is going to have me speak to the parents at an Open House before school begins in August and arrange for me to speak to the children in their classrooms toward the end of August. We still have a long way to go if there is to be a Junior Legion of Mary in our parish, but nothing is impossible with God. 🙂

Thanks so much for your prayers and for replying to this prayer request. Please continue to keep us among your intentions for God’s Glory, through Mary, and the salvation of many souls.
