GREEN BAY, Wis., May 13, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- To help celebrate the 48th World Day of Prayer on May 15, 2011, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity invite you to find strength and wisdom from "Mary Pray For Me" by Aaron Thompson, specially featured for these days leading up to our Discernment Retreat. Listen at www.fscc-calledtobe.org.

About being featured at the Franciscanized World, Aaron Thompson commented "Thank you for featuring 'Mary Pray for Me.' My mom was the biggest influence in my life for my devotion to the Blessed Mother. She gave me the example of quietly and regularly asking for Mary's intercessions especially for seemingly hopeless causes. I went through a period of rebellion against all things Catholic during early college. I believe it was her devotion that paved the way for God to redirect my 'fervor' to the Church."

Mission locations extend from St. Theresa in Kekaha, Hawaii, the westernmost parish in the United States, to rural Ohio, from the Mission of San Xavier Du Bac in Tucson to parochial schools in the Green Bay Diocese.
