Dear St. Thomas More Catholic Lawyers Association Members:

Please see this message from our President, Barbara Malik:

This year, the feast of St. Thomas More falls on the feast day of Corpus Christi. (June 22)  We cannot couple the two.  Accordingly,  the

St. Thomas More's Feast Day Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, June 25 at St. Francis Xavier’s 8:00 a.m. mass.  

We will arrange for coffee and donuts or pastries after the mass.  If anyone wants to volunteer to help with this, please contact Barbara Malik.(bmalik@earthlink.net)

A PRAYER TO ST. THOMAS MORE

THOMAS MORE, counselor of law and statesman of integrity, merry martyr and most human of saints: PRAY that,

for the glory of GOD and in the pursuit of His justice, I may be trustworthy with confidences,

keen in study, accurate in analysis, correct in conclusion, able in argument,

loyal to clients, honest with all, courteous to adversaries, ever attentive to conscience.

Sit with me at my desk and listen with me to my clients' tales.

Read with me in my library and stand always beside me so that today I shall not, to win a point, lose my soul.

PRAY that my family may find in me what yours found in you: friendship and courage, cheerfulness and charity,

diligence in duties, counsel in adversity, patience in pain—their good servant, and God's first. AMEN.
