This year, we’ve asked young men from several prominent seminaries to join the
thousands who’ll register and lead us in the mysteries. I look forward to joining together to pray not only with them, but for them. We’ll hear their intentions and have the privilege of bringing them together before the Lord through the prayers of His Mother.

These men, who are ready to give their lives for the Church—for us— are her special sons. She is their protection, their life, their health. She is also our Mother, and mothers love nothing more than to see their children gathered around them.
