Last week I had an opportunity to visit our wonderful Carmelite Sisters at their monastery on Holladay Boulevard in eastern Salt Lake City. We are certainly blessed to have their presence in our diocese. Their apostolate of prayer is essential for the vitality of the diocese. As Lord Tennyson said, more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. (Did he end his sentence in a preposition?!) That is why St. Theresa of the Child Jesus is called a patroness of the missions, even though she never left her Carmel. She prayed unceasingly for the missions that the people there would be disposed to listen to the missionaries. This “pre-disposing” grace is very important in furthering the Gospel and the Church credits St. Theresa for her apostolate of prayer, which is every bit as real and effective as the missionaries who actually worked in the mission fields.
>>>It is a special joy and privilege for me to wish you all a blessed and peace-filled Easter. We have prayed together throughout Lent and especially during these most recent days of Holy Week when we journeyed with Christ through the liturgies of his passion, death and resurrection. I now look forward to celebrating Christ’s victory over death and sin with all of you throughout the next 50 days of the Easter Season, during which "Alleluia" will be our song of gratitude to our loving God, who raised Jesus from the dead.
>>>Es un privilegio y un gozo muy especial para mí desearles a todos una Pascua llena de Bendiciones y de mucha Paz. Nosotros hemos orado juntos durante la Cuaresma y especialmente durante estos días recientes de la Semana Santa, cuando caminamos con Cristo a través de las liturgias de su pasión, muerte y resurrección. En los próximos cincuenta días celebraremos juntos la victoria de Cristo sobre la muerte y durante los cuales el "Aleluya" será el canto de agradecimiento a nuestro Dios amoroso, quien resucitó a Jesús de la muerte.
