Holy Fathers Prayer Intentions for March

General Intention: That all peoples may have access to water and other resources needed for daily life. Missionary Intention: That the Lord may sustain the efforts of health workers assisting the sick and elderly in the world's poorest regions. Teachings of the Church Society ought to promote the exercise of virtue, not obstruct it. It should be animated by a just hierarchy of values. CCC 1895 Wisdom of the Saints O sinner, does your conscience prod you and the memory of your sins sting you? Prepare an ointment from you sins: with the flame of grief, cook them in the small mortar of your heart, and dissolve them with tears. Then go and empty them at the feet of Jesus. ~ St . Thomas of Villanova
