O Mary, the Mystical Rose and St. Therese
Couderc, pray and intercede for us!
At this month's prayer meeting at the Gruber Residence, the small group that came together did so with special concern for the 2012 Presidential Election. During our open prayer time after the recitation of the Holy Rosary, participants prayed fervently for America; for all Christians to stand strongly united and for God to grant us a leader who will help our country out of its current moral and economic tailspin.
For our "Saint of the Month" relic veneration, I presented a 1st Class Relic of St. Therese Couderc (d. 1885) who founded the Sisters of the Cenacle in France. I spoke about her humble life and highlighted her triumph over the pain of having endured rejection and humiliation from her own community... and how her sweet surrender to the plan of God allowed her to mystically see the mark of his divine goodness on all created things. After my narration, I was pleasantly surprised at how genuinely touched the group was by the bio of this little-known Saint.

Couderc, which I shared with the prayer
group this month.
Lastly, we welcomed back a familiar face who we hadn't seen for a couple of months... and also had the joy of welcoming a new participant to the monthly meeting. Our "newbie" later testified with me that she enjoyed the prayer meeting and the warm fellowship with the other participants... and also the food that we all shared afterwards. I'm certain that we'll be seeing her again in the near future.
