Journey to the Priesthood: Silent Canonical Retreat Before Ordination Months Away

From my social media: My friends, for the past few days and until next Thursday I am on what is called a “canonical retreat.” A canonical retreat is a retreat of at least 5 days that a man must make before he is ordained and which is required by canon/church law. I made one in August last year before my ordination to the diaconate in December. I am making one now before my ordination to the priesthood a few months away. This is a silent retreat.

I intend to spend a lot of time in front of Jesus so please comment any prayer requests you may have below. It will be my prayer intention to pray for all requests in the comment section between now and the end of the retreat Thursday. I will be limiting my normal social media access to a minimum, so even if I do not see all requests, they all will be covered.

May God bless you and may you please pray for me – A Hail Mary will be just fine.

Thanks, ya’ll!
