Archdiocese of Detroit Ordinations

This weekend the Archdiocese of Detroit will ordain 3 men to the Holy Priesthood. One of these men is Deacon Don Lacuesta, who is from Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parish, as well as a classmate of mine......well at least for one class in the winter. Make sure to spend some time this weekend in prayer, asking our Lord to protect these men as they begin to minister to the people of the Archdiocese of Detroit. They have devoted their lives to serving Jesus Christ and His Church, the least we could do is to interceed for them through our prayers.

Cardinal Maida will ordain these men on Saturday June 3rd at 10AM at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Most gracious Heavenly Father,
We thank you for our for our faithful priests and bishops, whose spiritual fatherhood and example of fidelity, self-sacrifice, and devotion is so vital to the faith of your people.
May our spiritual fathers be guided by the examples of Saints Peter and Paul, all the Apostles and their saintly successors. Give them valiant faith in the face of confusion and conflict, hope in time of trouble and sorrow, and steadfast love for you, for their families, and for all your people throughout the world. May the light of your Truth shine through their lives and their good works.
Assist all spiritual fathers, that through your Grace they may steadily grow in holiness and in knowledge and understanding of your Truth. May they generously impart this knowledge to those who rely on them.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
