“JMJ”
Dear Friends of Sheen,
Yesterday, as is my custom, I offered Mass in the Convent of
the Peoria Cathedral. You and your intentions were remembered by the sisters
and me.
In today’s Gospel, our Saviour reminds us that there are some
things that can only be accomplished with greater prayer. I am regularly
reminded that the Cause for the Canonization of our beloved Archbishop Sheen is
essentially a SPIRITUALLY work. I am asking today for your special prayers for
the Cause.
I invite you to join with me and the Friends of Venerable
Sheen around the world in a novena for a special intention starting Wednesday
February 26 and culminating on March 6. There are no special Novena
prayers other than the Prayer for Canonization. Also can you please remember
the special intention for the Cause in your Rosaries, Holy Hours and Masses.
Besides our unity in prayer for the Cause, this can also be
a great personal novena to begin Lent. May our spiritual efforts for the
Cause of a Saint help to make each of us saints too!
United in prayer and commending each of you to the Lovely
Lady Dressed in Blue, I am,
Msgr. Stanley Deptula
Executive Director
