Spiritual Resolutions for the New Year?
Well, it’s that time of year again. New Year’s resolutions abound. Looking back at last year, did you grow in your faith and holiness? If someone close to you were asked this question about you, would their answer be a resolute “yes!” If not, do you have a purposeful plan to grow…

We thank you, God our Father, for those who have responded to your call to priestly ministry. Accept this prayer we offer on their behalf: Fill your priests with the sure knowledge of your love. Open their hearts to the power and consolation of the Holy Spirit. Lead them to new depths of union with your Son. Increase in them profound faith in the Sacraments they celebrate as they nourish, strengthen and heal us.
Lord Jesus Christ, grant that these, your priests, may inspire us to strive for holiness by the power of their example, as men of prayer who ponder your word and follow your will.
O Mary, Mother of Christ and our mother, guard with your maternal care these chosen ones, so dear to the Heart of your Son. Intercede for our priests that, offering the Sacrifice of your Son, they may be conformed more each day to the image of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
St. John Vianney, universal patron of priests, pray for us and our priests.

BASILICA ADULT FAITH EDUCATION SERIES
Professor Sweet delivered the second talk in the 2009-2010 Adult Faith Education Series at Saint Patrick’s Basilica. He spoke on Monday evening, October 26, 2009, for about three quarters of an hour, reviewing the aim and purpose of education, as understood by Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, making reference to papal documents as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Church’s Code of Canon Law. He stressed that the present difficulties in institutions of Catholic education developed over many years and they will not be quickly nor easily corrected. He also stressed that improvement will require concerted work from parents, educators, and clergy working toward a common vision of the whole human person.
