That our prayers may find the heart of every priest and bishop.

A call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.

In strengthening the priest
you strengthen the whole Church…
Strengthen the priest
and you strengthen the whole foundation,
you strengthen everything in the Church.
