Why pray? | Holy lives of inspiration
I would like to personally invite you, your family and our faithful friends around the world to a very special online event tomorrow, June 3, at 11:30 am EDT, to commemorate the anniversary of Father Peyton's call home to God. All of our beloved priests here at the Father Peyton Center will be concelebrating with me.
We will begin with the praying of the Rosary on our beautiful outdoor Rosary Walk with meaningful reflections for each Mystery. The Praying of the Rosary will be followed by the Celebration of the Mass from the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Chapel at the Father Peyton Center.
(Facebook account is not required)
(To follow the Mass from home or wherever you are)
Additionally, during your family time tomorrow, I would ask that you please pray together for the sainthood of Father Peyton.
PRAYER FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF FATHER PATRICK PEYTON, C.S.C.
Dear Jesus,
Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to
strengthening the families of the world
by calling them to pray together every day,
especially the Rosary.
His message is as important for us now
as it was during his life on earth.
We beg you, therefore,
to hasten the day of his beatification,
so that your faithful people everywhere
will remember his message that
the family that prays together stays together,
will imitate him in his devotion to your Mother and ours,
and will be inspired by his holy life
to draw ever closer to you
with childlike confidence and love.
Amen.
"A world at prayer is a world at peace." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
