Chair of St. Peter

On this Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, Apostle which we celebrate on the church's calendar today, I am reminded to pray for Pope Francis. Over and over again he has asked us to pray for him and I think he needs those prayers. I know that often in my own life I have heard people tell me they have been praying for me and I realize that's how I was able to make it through those difficult times.

Lord you established the Church on the rock of Peter. I pray that you continue to watch over the Church and guide Pope Francis, her shepherd, to lead us closer to you. Amen

On this Feast Day I also share with you this article I wrote about Pope Francis nearly 9 months ago.
