URGENT PRAYERS From the Vincentian Curia in Rome… From Sister Monique, via Filles de la Charite, PARIS Late Sunday afternoon on 1 March 2015, I received a message from M. Francoise, a delegate of the International Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and I managed to reach her by telephone. She was leaving for Paris, and collapsed at the news she had just received: members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in Syria were kidnapped, along with their wives and children. The children were isolated and …put into cages. Adults who do not deny their faith will be decapitated, and their children burned alive in the cages. M. Francoise had been in regular contact with several of them before all this occurred. She asked me to transmit the news and make a fervent appeal for prayers for these people, and all who are held hostage. Let us remain fervently united in prayer, and have as our intention the welfare of all brothers and sisters in our Christian faith who are being held hostage. http://vincentians.org.au/ 24 Hours for the Lord, Fri 13th – Sat 14th March In response to Pope Francis’ Lenten call to participate in 24 hours of Adoration and Reconciliation on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th March, St Mary’s Cathedral will make the “Lady Chapel” available from midday on Friday 13th March until midday on Saturday 14th March.
