OUR ARCHDIOCESAN FAMILY PRAYER
Loving and Faithful God, through the years the people of our
archdiocese have appreciated
the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of
war, disaster, epidemic and illness.
We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to
help us in the battle of today
against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a
community
founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life
and dignity of all people.
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith.
Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our
time.
Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through
violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for
life and human dignity
in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor,
hasten to help us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy
family.

WEEKLY REFLECTION
2 Timothy 4:6-8 Paul the Apostle travelled throughout the
east-ern Mediterranean world proclaiming the gospel of Jesus
Christ. He relied on his followers to supervise the growth of the
church in the various cities he visited. Paul placed his young
protégé Timothy in charge of the congregation in Ephesus, a city in
western Turkey which was one of the largest cities in the Roman
Empire at the time. The New Testament preserves two of Paul’s
letters to Timothy in which he encouraged him to remain steadfast
in the faith and to persevere in the face of challenges. He also
wrote a similar letter to his disciple Titus who was in charge of
the Christian community on the island of Crete. Paul knew that he
had a short time left in this world. “The time of my departure is
at hand. I have com-peted well; I have finished the race; I have
kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me.”
(2 Timothy 4:6-8) Paul encouraged Timothy, and he point-ed to
himself as a model of fidelity to follow. Paul helped Timothy
overcome his anxiety, lack of confidence, and frustration in
dealing with a difficult congregation by providing encouragement
and an example to follow. Everyone who exercises Christian
leadership to-day should provide example and encouragement to the
younger generation and to all those who are called upon to grow in
faith and perseverance. All parents regardless of their religious
or cultur-al backgrounds have the responsibility to see to it that
their children develop three qualities which will lead to their
personal happiness and to their growth as responsi-ble citizens.
Those who belong to an older generation must help young people
develop a moral compass, a sense of resilience, and a sense of
purpose. Encouragement becomes more effective when it is reinforced
by example. Let us pray for the grace of a positive attitude which
leads us to act responsibly and make principled choices. Like Paul
may we compete well, run the race, and keep the faith.
Anthony McGinn, S.J.
