One hundred years after her canonization, the Sister Adorers had the grace to venerate the relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux at the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in southeastern Wisconsin.

 

Like St. Thérèse, the Sister Adorers are devoted to praying for all priests. In the midst of November, the month dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, the Sisters stopped to offer a prayer for the deceased Carmelite priests and brothers of Holy Hill.

 

"O Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your Precious Blood. . . . With the power to change bread and wine, give them the power to change hearts. Bless their labors with abundant fruit and grant them one day the crown of eternal life.”
