PopeMoving


Our Holy Father has indicated that he wants us to celebrate his inauguration as Pope by performing acts of charity for the poor and those in need. As a concrete act of solidarity, we invite you to see the world as the Pope does – through the eyes of those struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis.

Modeling the Pope’s love for the "least among us" and moving forward on our call to love neighbor, we seek your support. Each donation will be converted into funds to support transportation costs for poor and low-income communities in the United States and around the world. Those costs will include bus passes, train tickets, bicycles or a gallon of gas for those in need of a little help to "keep moving."

Each dollar donated will be used by the Pontifical Mission Societies or Catholic Relief Services to help someone get where they need to be – for work, a job interview, a medical appointment, a ride to school.

Give the gift that keeps your faith journey on track – and your neighbor’s life moving in the right direction.

Venerable Archbishop Sheen, the Holy Hour and the Holy Spirit

 

“On the day of my ordination, I made two resolutions,” wrote Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen in his autobiography, Treasure in Clay.  The first resolution was to offer the Holy Eucharist every Saturday in honor of the Blessed Mother “to solicit her protection on my priesthood.”

His second resolution – to spend a continuous Holy Hour every day in the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. 

“The Holy Hour,” he wrote, “became like an oxygen tank to revive the breath of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the… atmosphere of the world...” 

In this week before Pentecost, perhaps the World Mission Rosary, offered in prayer before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, would revive the Spirit’s actions and gifts in our own lives, for our own missionary witness.
