Prayer for a Missionary

Our superior's sister is also a Daughter of St. Paul and tomorrow she will be flying off to Russia. Please pray for Sr. Patricia as she begins this tremendously new undertaking after more than 25 years of service here in the U.S. The challenges are enormous, but our sisters in Moscow are doing an admirable service. (Me, I'd be scared. And very cold. But Sr. Patricia and Sr. Helen are from Alaska, so the cold part is not so bad for them.)
If you post your prayers and messages in the comments section, I will gather them together to send to Sr. Patricia as a farewell promise of support.

Blessings upon Sister Patricia as she journeys to new lands and on her family, Sisters, and friends who share in her mission experience by "letting go"!

Saint Therese, Patroness of Missionaries, pray for her and all who leave home for the gospel's sake!
