Pause+Pray

Christ is the model for a genuine leader. Let us pray for our shepherds--bishops, priests, deacons, pastors, elders, pastoral administrators--that they may reflect his example.

We are all unique in so many different ways—our looks, nationalities, religions, and so much more. It is only when we come together that we create a beautiful image of Christ’s love.

Prayer, at its most basic form, is about two things: authentic friendship and continuing to show up.

In honoring our unity in diversity, we give God glory and bring out each other’s gifts for service.

When we have encountered great loss or trauma, sometimes it can feel like the world moves on while our hearts continue to ache.

We have a responsibility to pray for Pope Francis as a spiritual leader and decision-maker, so that he may continue guiding the Church with wisdom and compassion.
