Sunday Holy Hour for Priests
Sunday  June 20  Sacred Grounds  9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m. (this Sunday only)

The faithful praying for priests.  Please make every effort to join us in person on Sunday mornings. Short of that, unite with us in the spirit of prayer.

          O my God, poor, weak and miserable as I am, I have come to spend this hour alone with You, in reparation for the priests who have forgotten that they are Your chosen souls. Especially, dear God, do I offer this holy hour for the priests who at this moment need it most. In praying for consecrated souls, help me to remember my own utter weakness, misery and nothingness. Were it not for Your grace I would be far worse than those for whom I pray.

          O my god, help those priests who are faithful to remain faithful. To those who are falling, stretch forth Your divine hand that they may grasp it as their support. And for those poor unfortunate souls who have fallen, lift them up in the great ocean of Your mercy, that being engulfed therein, they may receive the grace to return to Your great loving heart. Amen.

Jesus and Our Lady have promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one person comes here to pray (even outside the scheduled times of the Rosary Vigils and Holy Hours).

Michael Bauer, 14, from Cape Cod Mass., leads the Rosary. A 15- decade Rosary, litanies and traditional hymns are prayed and sung during each Holy Hour.

Pilgrims are chosen to pray a decade.  Matthew Castricum leads the first decade.

Roses brought to the sacred grounds by pilgrims are blessed by Jesus and Mary with the power of cure and conversion. They are passed out near the end of the Holy Hour (and Vigil) to the pilgrims who later press them in a book and laminate them on special cards (printed by SMWA) for distribution to all God's children, especially the ill and suffering. We receive many testimonials of the power of these mystical roses.
