As I do every First Friday and Saturday of the month, I offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass according to the intentions of the Friends and Benefactors of the Exsurge Domine Foundation.

I entrust to your prayers and your generosity, five seminarians, two of whom – at the end of this week of Spiritual Exercises held these days in Viterbo – will receive the clerical robe and the Holy Tonsure on Sunday, on the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin. Your donations will be used primarily for their formation and for the material needs of the community.
