Dear Confreres, Sisters and Friends:

Greetings from Rome. I would like to remind you that on Saturday, October 5, we celebrate the memory of our confrere, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, C.Ss.R. He was a gifted spiritual guide and confessor, a gentle and wise formator, and a zealous pastor and preacher. During this year of the Redemptorist Missionary Vocation, may his example and prayers inspire all of us to follow the Redeemer more closely.

Your brother in the Redeemer,
Michael Brehl, C.Ss.R.
