Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom!
Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance.
Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself.
Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion.
This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever.  Amen.

On August 15, 2020 the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, two of our Sisters made their profession of vows in our retreat chapel with Auxilary Bishop Peter Smith.
Sister Maria Benedicta Hemminger, OFM of the Cross and Saint Sharbel, made her fifth and final perpetual vows, while Sister Maria Chiara Melendez, OFM of the Five Wounds, made her profession of first vows.  Taking the Franciscan religious habit, the sisters model the virtues of chastity, poverty and obedience in the service of God and the Church.
