For centuries, nuns living with the great blessing of Eucharistic Adoration continuously available to them, have offered their prayers and sacrifices specifically for the needs of priests. Pope John Paul II founded a cloistered convent in the Vatican, whose members dedicate their entire lives to praying for the intentions of the pontiff.
The idea of spiritual adoption of priests, where a woman adopts a certain priest as her spiritual “son” for whom she promises to pray, was extended to lay women in 2007 with Pope Benedict XVI’s approval. We are inviting all women from the parish to join in this important ministry of praying for a priest of the Joliet Diocese.
More information will be available at all weekend Masses on February 1 and 2, or you may email Connie Sanfilippo at adorationsmip@gmail.com for additional information.
