Regarding the Franciscan and other clergy hostages in Bethlehem:
I should have written this first: Ask for the intercession of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe on behalf of the hostage priests and brothers. I would also ask St. Edith Stein for her intercession for them.

Our community has Perpetual Adoration, but in addition we keep vigil for Christians in the Sudan. We received an e-mail from the Franciscans in Rome, and now we are keeping vigil before the Blessed Sacrament for the hostages, for all Christians, and for the Holy Sites in the Holy Land.
