Holy people are needed in all states of life and we have some wonderful examples from among the patrons of COLW. Let's ask for their prayers and look at their example as we travel this journey. It would be good to try to learn about them all over time to see what a diverse group of people they are. Ech one is remarkable for their holiness as well as reflecting something particular of the face of Christ for us. Each one especially reflects an aspect or fruit of the COLW charism through their own gifts and mission to the Church.
Choose a saint from amongst the patrons of the Community to accompany you through the coming months of the pilgrimage. There are saints, blessed and servants of God on the list from all states of life and each one reflects a different aspect of the COLW charism. Try to learn something about your chosen holy man or woman and ask them for their prayers.
