Refresh Mini Retreat, Sunday Nov. 15th

Mother Mary Lange was a courageous, loving and deeply spiritual woman. She came as a strong, independent thinker and doer. What were the works of Mother Mary Lange? We know of her private school in the early 1800s, of her academy in 1828 and of her religious foundation in 1829. But, there was also an orphanage, a widow’s home, spiritual direction, religious education classes and vocational training. The early Sisters did home visiting and conducted night schools so black adults could learn to read and write. When the Civil War was over, Baltimore was flooded with black war orphans. Mother Mary gathered 60 of them and began a new era of caring for destitute children. She was a religious pioneer.

- We pray for the communities who have been affected by natural disasters, especially those who lost loved ones or had all they owned destroyed. Bless them with strength, hope, and an abundance of help as they begin rebuilding their communities. We pray for the survivors to find refuge in Jesus Christ. Bless the first responders and all who will be helping these communities with compassion and protection.

- We pray for an end to this pandemic and healing to those who are suffering physically, emotionally, and financially due to the pandemic. May they find peace in Jesus Christ.

- We ask you to bless the hungry and the homeless. Break our hearts for what breaks yours and allow a real conversion in our hearts for our homeless brothers and sisters that calls us to action, however small or large it may be.
