Deceased:

Fr. Charles Kiefer, 1936, Stratford, Canada
Fr. Stephen Bies, 1979, Chicago, USA

1. That we may imitate the example of our Founders and for the spirit of the resurrection.
2. For the deceased members of the Congregation of the Resurrection.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Sister, Mother earth, … cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.” (Laudato Si’, 2)
