Rest in Peace, Father Benedict

by Allison Ricciardi, LMHC | Oct 4, 2014 | Prayers and Novenas

We mourn the loss today of a great friend, Father Benedict Groeschel, CFR.

A priest, psychologist, stalwart defender of the unborn and advocate for the poor, Fr. Benedict was called home on the eve of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, his great patron.

Please join us in praying for the repose of the soul of Fr. Benedict. He used to ask that no one “canonize him” after he died but to pray for him.

Rest in peace, Fr. Benedict. May God reward you for a life well lived. Thank you for all you gave to us and so many.

We will miss you.
