Excerpts from a letter from Archbishop Aymond

To all Catholics in the Archdiocese of New Orleans

“I invite you to consider joining me in prayer and fasting each Friday from now through December 2018.

Fasting and prayer on Fridays is a way we can be in solidarity with those who have been abused, to pray for their healing and to ask the Holy Spirit to lead our church to renewal.  Fasting can be abstaining from food or any other sacrifice, for example spending less time on social media or humbly doing something for someone to show charity.

...I am sorry for the pain of those who have been hurt and for the disappointment of the people of God in our leadership as Bishops.

Most Reverend Gregory M Aymond
Archbishop of New Orleans “

*** I pray we all respond generously to our Archbishop’s plea!
