Risking the Future,
Life and Spirituality of
Félix de Jesús Rougier, M.Sp.S.

by Ricardo Zimbrón, M.Sp.S.


"The world ran away from the Cross because it saw only the side of pain or repugnance. That is why the Cross of the Apostolate is now presented to it – that is, the Cross with My Heart – to tell people that the cross is never alone, that the Heart of God, His mercy, and His love are always nailed to it in an inseparable way”.
(Conchita’s Diary: 3,37).


"Offer yourself as a victim for My priests. Unite yourself to My sacrifice for gaining them graces.”
(Conchita
Diary, Sept. 24, 1927)

Adopt a Priest and pray for his sanctification

"...I want souls who are dedicated with fervor, with determination and without looking for rest, to plead day and night for My priests"
 Jesus to Venerable Concepcion Cabrera de Armida

The Apostleship of the Cross, a Ministry centered on the Priesthood of Christ and His Priestly people, invites you to spend a Holy Hour of Adoration to pray for priests.

We want to invite all people to participate in this apostolate by adopting a priest, and offer prayers and sacrifices for their sanctification. 

Our priests need our prayerful support of their ministry to accomplish the mission God has given them. 

"May this new jubilee year be a propitious occasion to reflect on the value and importance of the priestly mission and to ask the Lord to make a gift of many priests to his Church" Benedict XVI

"Que este nuevo año jubilar constituya una ocasión propicia para profundizar en el valor y la importancia de la misión sacerdotal y para pedir al Señor que le dé a su Iglesia el don de numerosos y santos sacerdotes" Benedicto XVI

Litany for Priests

Prayers

Jesus, Eternal and High Priest, protect and strengthen your priests!
