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
Blesssed 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
Spiritual
Motherhood for Priests
The vocation to be a spiritual mother for
priests is largely unknown, scarcely understood and,
consequently, rarely lived, notwithstanding its fundamental
importance. It is a vocation that is frequently hidden,
invisible to the naked eye, but meant to transmit spiritual
life. Pope John Paul II, was so convinced of its importance
that he established a cloistered convent in the Vatican
where nuns would pray for the intentions of the Supreme
Pontiff.

a wife and mother with children. Over the course of many
years, Jesus prepared her to live a life of spiritual
motherhood for priests. In the future, she will be of great
importance for the universal Church.
