Please say a prayer for Bishop Rene Henry Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi, Texas. Bishop Gracida sent me a very kind email assuring me of his prayers: Philip, I pray that God will grant you delivery from the threat of a brain tumor, and that you will realize your goal of entering the seminary to begin your studies and formation for ordination to the priesthood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Blessings!
+Rene Henry Gracida
Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi
Bishop Gracida has long been a champion of the pro-life movement. Many may remember his radio message before the 2008 election: "This is Bishop Rene H. Gracida, reminding all Catholics that they must vote in this election with an informed conscience. A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-abortion candidate."
Please keep His Excellency in your prayers!

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
Niiiiice! Warrior prelates make us proud to be Catholic laymen - sheep not without shepherds.
A proposito (by the way), this is my address:

Thaks, bro, and union of prayers!

Philip, how wonderful! You are in my prayers. I will specifically be asking Blessed Damien and Bl. Mother Marianne Cope for your intentions.
It is good to know that God sends great graces and eternal gifts through his Holy Church and the Communion of Saints to compensate and fortify his flock in these sufferings we have to face in the current world.
