In the wake of a week of turmoil across the United States, the Conference of Major Supe- riors of Men, which represents the leaders of more than 200 Catholic religious institutes of men across the United States, publicly condemns racism. We condemn brutality that takes away breath and we call for reforms to policies and practices that have oppressed Black Americans. We also pray for an end to the national violence that has been ignited and for a path forward that is based on peace and leads to true change. This moment in our nation and in the life of our Church demands more than a statement of anguish. It requires us to commit publicly to change, starting with ourselves. We begin a collective effort—as religious institutes for men, monasteries, and societies for apostolic life—to work to dismantle the individual and systemic practices that perpetuate racism in the places where we live out our vocations. We must listen. We must mourn. We must repent. We must change. A throwaway culture that values property over people and asserts that some lives are worth more than others violates the human dignity upon which our faith and vocations are based. To say that we represent a of Life means we cannot look the other way or to fail to hear or see people who are suffering. To authentically pursue change requires reckoning with one’s own past. That includes us. The historical record of the Catholic Church in the US on racism reflects a lack of prophetic leadership and humanity throughout history, all too often mirroring the accepted morals of the time. While many of our brothers and institutes have been on the front lines of fighting for civil rights, we acknowledge some congregations owned slaves and refused to accept Black men and other men of color for vows and ordination. While we have created ministries, built schools, and founded social justice efforts explicitly to serve communities of color, we have not always prac- ticed true equality, the kind of equality that seeks to understand and strives for mutuality. In our desire to uplift, we have been paternalistic at times and even have perpetuated segregation. To be prophetic leaders, we must name past sins, humbly listen to those hurt by racism, and be willing to be uncomfortable with our individual and corporate record of prejudice. We must hear those within our own communities who are marginalized, have been silenced, or remain unseen. We must call ourselves to account. The Conference of Major Superiors of Men recognizes that this essential work must have tangible outcomes that bear witness to the transformational power of the Holy Spirit working through and in each of us. We will commit to preach, teach, pray, and mobilize in new ways. We ask that all people of good will pray for this effort, that we might live into the question that Servant of God, Sr. Thea Bowman, FSPA, posed to the U.S. Conference in 1989: “… how can we work together so that all of us have equal access to input – equal access to opportunity – equal access to participation.” May Sr. Thea’s bold witness serve as our guide for fundamental change in our Church and in all the places where we labor to share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

By Lesli White

It has never been more important for families to pray together. Prayer is the foundation of the Christian home and is one of the best ways to help your family thrive. We are living in a time where we are experiencing an unprec- edented cultural attack on biblical values and the structure of the home. Busy schedules, technology distractions and a general lack of enthusiasm also make this vital goal diffi cult. It’s important that we change the focus of our families from the world to the Lord, and the mood of our households from one of frustra- tion to one of peace and joy. When you pray together as a family, each member learns what it means to be intimate with God and when you see answers to prayer, you experience His love and presence in your daily lives. Here are six benefi ts of praying together as a family:

Prayer Releases Your Deepest Hurts 1 When you pray out loud, it gives your family the opportunity to release their deepest hurts, giving them a voice. When you give your emotions a voice and a name, they become valid. When your feelings and emotions are validated and understood by a God who loves you, then you’re on the road to recovery. Praying together as a family also gives each person an opportunity to forgive themselves and forgive others. Realize obeying God’s command to forgive frees you from your pain. Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our sins in the same way we forgive others.” It may take time and much soul searching before you feel like you’re truly ready to let go, but ultimately forgiving is godly and what He wants for us.

Prayer Heals 2 Studies show that those who pray are emotionally and physically healthier than those who don’t. Prayer helps those who are suff ering from depression, anxiety and even terminal illnesses. There is power in praying for and with your family, especially when they are hurting. Pray for those around you or those in need. Pray for spiritual, emotional and physical healing for yourself, your family and those around you. Have confi dence that if you ask in anything according to His will, He hears you and remember that God hears you when you pray. Ask, knock and seek His will for your family.

View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com Prayer Strengthens Communication 3 Communication is a key aspect of relationships, and prayer is how we communicate with God. Prayer opens communication with God and our families. As our hearts become vulnerable in prayer, we can have deeper, more authentic relationships. These times where we can share can help each person involved feel more valued and heard. Instead of diving right into talking to God right away, you can start off talking to one another, asking questions to get the communication started. The more you pray together as a family, the easier the communication with each other will become.

Prayer Protects 4 Pray for your spouse, parents, children and extended family every single day. When you pray, it’s impor- tant to ask for His protection over your family every day. As a parent, you hold a major responsibility to make your kids aware of the importance of prayers in a family, as children are extremely vulnerable and the choices, they make in their growing years will shape their future. Recognize that whatever you set your hand to do shall prosper, for God supplies your every need. Ask God, in the name of Jesus to protect you, your spouse and children throughout this day and night, to protect your house from any intrusion and to protect your family from any harmful demonic, physical and mental attacks.

Prayer Strengthens Family Ties 5 The glue that holds a family together is relationship – relationship with God and with each other. Praying together as a family is important because it offers an intentional time of connectivity. This is more than just connection with one another. Through prayer, you are inviting God into the situations where your family needs Him most. It gives you an opportunity to find out what’s happening in each other’s lives, discover one another’s needs and dreams, opens communication and gives each family member the opportunity to show that you care about each other.

Prayer Builds Unity and Intimacy 6 Prayer builds unity and intimacy not only with the person to whom we pray, but the people we pray with, and those we pray for. By praying together, a couple’s relationship and home life can be changed for the better. By praying together, a broken family can be restored. Remember, family members can never change each other, but God can change them if you invite Him to do so. No matter what struggles you face today, none are too big for God to solve, if you will humble yourself before each other and the Lord and ask for His help. When you experience the tangible presence of God that comes through praying together, it can change not only the marriage but also the spiritual climate of the home.

A family that prays together can be an unstoppable force for good, bringing God’s answers to impossible situations. When you actively pray with the members of your family, your relation- ships will change for the better and you will see God working in your lives in a whole new way. Trust in the power of prayer.
