Apostles Creed Favorite Causes: Mother Teresa and Father Solanus Casey and their cause for Sainthood THE CAUSE OF MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA Recently, Apostles Creed announced that the first official miracle attributed to Mother Teresa of Calcutta had been announced. Now we have the details for you! An Indian woman who had a large tumor in her stomach was miraculously healed on September 5th, 1998. Her name is Monica Besra and she is 30 years old. Monica had been living for several years in one of the homes that Mother Teresa established. She had been told by doctors that the tumor she had was inoperable and she was terminal. However, after several of Mother Teresa's nuns prayed for her on the first anniversary of Mother's death and placed a small medal that had been blessed by Mother Teresa on her swollen abdomen, the woman went to bed and awoke the next morning tumor free. She's been completely healthy since then..over 4 years. The case was investicaged by three different commissions. One commission was made up of theologians and the other two of physicians and cardinals. All three commissions agreed that the healing was spontaneous (not due to medicine), total, and irreversible. Therefore, Mother Teresa's beatification and canonization is closer because of this miracle. Thank you God! THE CAUSE OF FATHER SOLANUS CASEY, CAPUCHIN We continue to believe in the cause of Father Solanus Casey, a faithful servant of God. We at Apostles Creed hope you viewed Father Benedict Groeschel's special, They Could Be Saints that was on EWTN on Tuesday, November 19th. There was much information on Father Solanus Casey, including an address to where you could write in Detroit, Michigan (1780 Mount Elliott Avenue, Detroit, MI 48207) for more information on the Capuchin Monk. Father Benedict Groeschel knew Father Solanus personally when he (Father Groeschel) was a young priest at Saint Boneventure Monastery in Detroit. Father Benedict is now involved in the cause of Father Solanus Casey as a witness. According to Father Groeschel, Father Solanus Casey would very often pray all night long. Father Groeschel said he once witnessed Father Solanus in ecstacy late one night when he went to the chapel to pray because he could not sleep. Father Benedict Groeschel also said that body of Father Solanus Casey, to whom many, many miracles and cures are attributed, was exhumed in the the early 1990s. His body was largely intact. This is one of the many signs that someone is worthy of sainthood. Father Benedict Groeschel also told the viewers that not only was the Irish Monk a holy man, but Father Solanus Casey was also a jolly man who was often smiling, loved animals (and they loved him), and that he loved to play the violin, although it has been documented that he did not play very well! Here is more on Father Solanus Casey (often misspelled as Solanas Casey): Father Solanus Casey Apostles Creed feature: The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Many Catholics wear the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Few are familiar with the story of Saint Simon Stock,the Sabbatine Privilege, or the terms of enrollment. Most wear the brown scapular (from the word "scapula", meaning bones of the shoulder) because of they are familiar with the promise Our Lady made - that those who die wearing the Brown Scapular will "not suffer eternal fire." However, there is much more, in terms of history, meaning, and practice, to the wearing of the Brown Scapular than just this wonderful promise. Click on the following link and you will find a summary of information that Apostles Creed has gathered on... The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel EWTN kindly requests no e-mails. May we at Apostles Creed also suggest you send a self-addressed and stamped envelope with your request for a brown scapular. We are sure a small donation to EWTN (NOT Apostles Creed!) would be appreciated. Thank you! Special Catholic Prayers Recommended by Apostles Creed About Our Priests... Please do not let the recent media frenzy allow you to stop loving and respecting your parish priests. At Apostles Creed.com, we believe that our Catholic priests are devoted men have offered up their lives in service to God and his flock. Priests are always busy, yet they are never "too busy" to minister to us in our time of need, as we all know. So often we as Catholics take priests for granted, and we do little to make their lives just a little easier. Let your priests know you love and respect them. Apostles Creed requests that you tell your parish priests that you appreciate their hard work and daily sacrifices, which are many. Priests are fragile human beings, just as we are, and they need our continual prayers and support. We at Apostles Creed encourage readers to copy and paste the PRAYER FOR PRIESTS that is in the text below and pass it along on your e-mail list. PRAYER FOR PRIESTS (author: John Joseph Cardinal Carberry, retured Archbishop of Saint Louis) Almighty God, look upon the face of Him who is the eternal High Priest, and have compassion on Your priests in today's world. Remember that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation. Keep them close to You lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation. O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests; for the unfaithful and tepid ones; for those who are tempted; for those who are lonely and desolate; for those who are young; for those who are dying; and for those who are in purgatory. But, above all, I recommend to You the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I have assisted and who gave me Your body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who instructed me or helped me to whom I am indebted in any other way. In particular for _______________. O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart adn bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us; obtain for us many and holy priests. THE SERENITY PRAYER This short prayer is what the 12 step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Nicotine Anonymous, encourage their members to say when they are seeking strength to stay away from harmful substances. But this powerful prayer could apply to any situation in which we need strength from God to persevere: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen. The cardboard copy I have of the Serenity Prayer was sent to me by the Salesian Missions,2 LeFevre Lane, PO Box 30, New Rochelle, NY 10802-0030. I'm sure they would send you a copy if you make a written request. Please remember to send an offering to cover expenses, if possible. I'm sure they will appreciate it. Think of the immeasureable sacrifices made by priests and nuns who, unlike most of us, give up having a family of their own! In their twilight years there are no children to comfort and care for them. Of course, they will be rewarded greatly in heaven! But let us tell them today how they have touched our lives by thanking them in person or through a nice card or letter. Our gratitude and acknowledgement will not go unappreciated...If you would like to donate to the retired religious, please see the address that follows. What a worthy cause! After all, these elderly nuns and priests gave so generously of their lives when they were young and strong. To donate, please contact them at their office: National Religious Retirement Office, 3211 Fourth Street NE, Washington, DC 20017-1194 or Phone (202) 541-3215.

There are still many injuries, and often deaths, among our troops in Iraq. Even though the news has turned to other events in their headlines, it is very important that we remember our soldiers daily in our prayers!
