"I take great comfort in the prayers of these women for me. It is as if they are my spiritual support. So often action is required in the life of a priest where time allows only a hasty prayer. The prayer of my Seven Sisters gives me confidence that they are praying with and for me as difficult situations arise. They are a powerful force before God praying on my behalf!" ~Msgr. David Cox, Pastor, St. Stanislaus in Wardsville and St. Margaret in Osage Bend
"In the Ordination Rite to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, among the seven promises made by the ordinandi is a promise to be committed to prayer. This Bishop asks the man to be ordained: Do you resolve to implore with us God’s mercy upon the people entrusted to your care by observing the command to pray without ceasing?I am very grateful to the Seven Sisters Prayer Apostolate that as the People of God are daily remembered in my personal prayers and the Liturgy of Holy Mother Church, so too prayers are intentionally being offered on my behalf as an unworthy servant in the service of the Lord and His people." ~Fr. Jeremy Secrist, Pastor, St. Peter Church, Jefferson City
"The older I get the more aware I become of my need for prayer. The spiritual support provided by the Seven Sisters is certainly a mental and emotional encouragement, but I'm also relying on their prayers to help me grow in virtue and to be a good Pastor, not just for some of my people, but for all of them." ~Fr. Dan Merz, Pastor, St. Thomas More Newman Parish, Columbia
