August 2009
Dear Friend of the Missions, I hope that summer has been a peaceful time so far, and that August will provide you with a lot of rest. There are some important feasts to remember this month: August 6 is the Transfiguration of the Lord; August 8 is the feast of St. Dominic; August 11 is the feast of St. Clare. The Solemnity of the Assumption is August 15. There is a wonderful tradition of blessing flowers on that day. Along with the meditation you will find the blessing of the flowers. The octave of the Assumption (Aug 22) is the feast of the Queenship of Mary. Perhaps on August 23, the feast of St. Rose of Lima, you could pray especially for our mission in Peru. Please pray for peace, it seems so elusive; pray also for all the victims of war as we remember the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Thank you again for all your generosity and prayers. You make a big difference in the lives of many people. God bless you!
