Dear Family of Mary!The Church is like a ship. Our Leaders, especially the Pope and the Bishops, are like the Captain and helmsmen, who steer the ship through the waters of time, guided by the Holy Spirit. They are so essential to our wellbeing! Through them we receive Our Lord in the Sacraments and by them we receive the discernment we need to navigate life. They give us the light of Christ through their leadership. May they be blessed and protected all their days, and may God raise up holy new leaders for the days ahead! 4th day: We pray for all Leaders in the Church
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace
2. Veni Creator Spiritus

"Dear Children! Today I am happy to see you in such great numbers, that you have responded and have come to live my messages. I invite you, little children, to be my joyful carriers of peace in this troubled world. Pray for peace so that as soon as possible a time of peace, which my heart waits impatiently for, may reign. I am near to you, little children, and intercede for every one of you before the Most High. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1995)
The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant. (CCC. N.2

4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Thank You, O Lord, for giving us the Church as Mother and Spouse, to lead us in our earthly life on a path of light towards You. Thank You, because in the Church we are all brothers and sisters, and members of one Mystical Body. Today we pray for those who lead the Church: may they unceasingly renew within themselves their covenant with You, the One and Only True Head, so as to become faithful and joyful carriers of peace and truth in this troubled world. Amen.
Tomorrow we leave for Medjugorje!!!Cathy Nolan
