A spiritual United Nations

Fascinated by the news that a new Carmelite church was consecrated in Minsk, Belarus, in June.  The Discalced Carmelite Newsletter from Australasia that I mentioned last week has an article and pictures.  This article contains the sentence: ‘The people of Belarus built the Church of the Holy Cross to give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist’.  Such a demonstration of the Catholicity of the Church – I learn about happenings in Belarus in a newsletter sent from the Discalced Carmelite Newsletter for Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania!  I love that about Holy Mother Church!  We are truly a spiritual United Nations! I read once that there are only four countries in the world without indigenous Catholics.

 

Intercessions:

Cancer: Brian Davis, Marie, Bernard (and wife Angela caring for him), Jacqui, Sue B, Theresa K

Siena, Elara – sick children

Wojtek – massive heart attack leaving him incapacitated

David OCDS - housebound

Sophia – blind infant

Joy Smith OCDS – seriously ill

Grace – troubling ailments, job difficulties, family (deceased mother and health of father)

Rhidian - in pain, waiting for treatment
