Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

With praise and thanksgiving to God, the Claretian Missionaries of the US-Canada province joyfully announce the Perpetual Profession of Vows of Ray John Kenneth Batistis Mejorada, Cmf. Please pray for Ray John as he prepares to make his final profession at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Chicago, IL on August 15th. May his vocation inspire many others to respond courageously to God's call.

“A son of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a man
on fire with love, who spreads its flames wherever he goes.
He desires mightily and strives by all possible means
to set everyone on fire with God’s love.
Nothing daunts him: he delights in privations,
welcomes work, embraces sacrifices, smiles at slander,
rejoices in all the torments and sorrows he suffers
and glories in the cross of Jesus Christ.
His only concern is how he may follow Christ,
and imitate him in praying, working, enduring,
and striving constantly and solely for the greater glory
of God and the salvation of humankind.”

God of power and mercy,

into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.
R/. Amen
