Pro Sanctity in Wichita, Kansas!

Please pray for the Pro Sanctity Group in Wichita!
On Saturday, January 5th the members will spend a day in prayer to prepare themselves to be apostles of holiness, carriers of the Lord's light to others! It was great desire of our Founder, Bishop Giaquinta, that Members spend time in prayer and then share the fruits of their prayer with others. Below is the introduction that Teresa Pauls, Local Board President in Wichita will share with her members on Saturday.
*************
Authentic prayer both transcends and unfolds all human realities: it becomes confidence, humility, deep faith, and poverty acting on behalf of our brothers and sisters. (Servant of God, Bishop William Giaquinta)


This is the season of light when the Word incarnate came down from heaven and became man to bring faith, hope, and love into the world and we have come together in Christ and His Mother Mary to be that light into the world.

The challenge for each human being is how to be Christ light into the world that seems to be drifting deeper and deeper into darkness.

It is so easy in today’s world to succumb to the pressures of worldly things and events, which can have detrimental affects on the soul.

In order to be Christ’s light in the world, we must first discover Him from within. This must first begin with prayer. The key to successful prayer is that we cannot do it alone. Going it alone places our egos above God and gives the indication that we can handle it ourselves. This usually has disastrous results with someone making themselves and those around them truly miserable.

May the Holy Spirit lead us and may Our Lady be with us during this retreat. As one local priest mentioned in a sermon, we all must become "God-bearers" as Mary, the Theotokas, became. Please do keep us in prayer that we may all again say our "fiat" to God at some time during this retreat.

In Christ's name,
Cathy
