Renewal of the Consecration  
As the world continues to face the ongoing effects of the global pandemic of the coronavirus, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the USCCB has announced that the U.S. bishops will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on May 1 in renewing the consecrations of the two nations to the care of our Blessed Mother.
 
This moment of unified prayer will give our Church the occasion to pray for Our Lady’s continued protection of the vulnerable, healing of the sick, and wisdom for those who work to cure COVID-19.
 
Christ is Risen!  He is Risen, Indeed!
 
Happy Easter! 
 
As I prepare for this Blog Post, we are just moments from a moment of unified prayer with Catholics throughout the United States and Canada to renew the consecration of our nations to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of Mother of Church.  ON this First Day of May, the Month of Mary, this is most fitting way of prayer – to entrust ourselves to the Mother of God – to seek the assistance of the one who said yes to God’s promise, the beginning of the earthly life of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
 
The link for this wonderful moment of prayer, to be watched again and enrich your own prayer life, is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dWdoKFB6XI
 
May each of you, through a daily devotion to the Rosary, entrust yourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 
 
Christ is Risen!  He is Risen, Indeed!
 
 
 
Know of my prayers for you, please pray for me!

Saint Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer, pray for us!
