October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Everyday millions of women and men suffer psychological violence, verbal violence, physical violence, and sexual violence. Pope Francis asks us to pray for the victims, "so that they are protected by society and so that their suffering is considered and heard by all." If you or a family member or friend needs help now, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 800‐799‐7233 (24 hours); 800‐787‐3224 (TTY); www.ndvh.org.

Words shared by Lynn Hill, St. Raphael's Prefect:  [As we into delve into 33 Days of Morning Glory]  I’m sure that you too are inspired by St. Louis de Montfort’s life  His countless parish missions and the vicious persecution he underwent, as well as his “True Devotion to Mary” show his love for the Blessed Mother. I hope that we can go to Jesus through Mary, as have so many others ​who know St. Louis’ teaching. 

Also inspiring is the passionate life of St. Maximillan Kolbe.  This 20th Century saint was for years a successful missionary in Poland and Japan.  Then shortly before his arrest by the Gestapo and his subsequent martyrdom, he wrote an enlightening paper about the Immaculate Conception.  

Perhaps tales of the Militia Immaculata, which he started with fellow seminarians, will encourage us to follow the Immaculate Conception  to her Son. 

Let’s pray for each other as we continue on our journey.
