1. For our country, for civil rulers on the local and national levels.
2. May the example of St. Matthew inspire us to greater fidelity to our religious vows.
3. For peace in the world.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“It is obvious that the vows are defined in strong and bold concepts which can be accepted only by a person who has recognized the inherent limits of their power and autonomy, and the dignity that is theirs when they share in the omnipotence and sovereignty of God.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality, 58)
