Archbishop Burke: Prayers for Peace, NFP Awareness Week, and Seminarians

I interrupt briefly my reflection upon Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical letter "Deus Caritas Est" to write to you about a number of timely matters. Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI has asked us to observe a day of prayer and penance for peace in the Middle East. We also are observing Natural Family Planning Awareness Week. Lastly, I want to inform you of the activities of our seminarians during the summer months.
. . .
Please pray for the men who will be entering Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in September as first-year collegians, pre-theologians (men with college degrees or college studies already completed but who need additional courses in philosophy) and first-year theologians. God willing, the archdiocese will admit more than 20 new seminarians in September. Let us show our gratitude to God by praying for them, encouraging them and supporting them.
