How you can help make the Church holier

Holier priests lead to a holier Church. You possess a powerful tool that will help form priests — and the Church needs you to use it now! Attacks on the priesthood are intensifying.  Priests are battling on the front lines for the salvation of souls, and few people are in more need of our help. Priests are called to fight evil, but they cannot fight it alone. Those men who have answered God's call depend upon you to wield the most powerful weapon against the evil one — prayer.   In these pages, celebrated retreat master and author Kathleen Beckman offers church-approved ways in which you are called to contribute to the welfare of the Church today. You'll discover the indispensability of the Catholic priesthood, your specific call to pray for priests in the context of the New Evangelization, testimonies of spiritual mothers and priests, and scriptural rosaries dedicated to vocations and reparation. Although both men and women are responsible for priestly renewal, Kathleen explains the special vocation of spiritual motherhood. This vocation is embedded with graces that enable women to work together with Our Lady and the Holy Spirit for the sanctification of priests. Holier priests lead to a holier Church. Because prayer is a source of grace and the mother of all virtues, you can call down showers of graces upon the priesthood. The Church and her priests need your prayers now more than ever, and here you'll find your special calling from God that must be fulfilled for the salvation of souls. "Praying for priests is not an option; it is a holy duty and divine mandate. Kathleen Beckman strikes at the hearts of women to let loose a stream of spiritual maternity that flows into the hearts, souls, and ministries of our priests." Johnnette Benkovic Host of EWTN's Women of Grace "Praying for Priests is filled with insight, encouragement, and inspiration to lead both priests and laity to a more profound love of God's priceless gift of the priesthood." Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P. Editor of Magnificat "A masterful work of spiritual simplicity and richness. I recommend making this book a part of your day, every day." Most Reverend David D. Kagan Bishop of Bismarck, North Dakota "Kathleen presents practical ways to be a prayerful supporter of those in Sacred Orders who are in need of the intercession of others to successfully maneuver though the battlefield of the world." Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P. Titular Archbishop of Oregon City "An eloquent reflection on the reality of the prayerful support needed by priests and bishops." Most Reverend Kevin W. Vann Bishop of Orange, California "Praying for Priests reminds everyone that one of the most essential works of the laity to support the clergy is to pray for priests." Msgr.
