Following Blessed Karl’s example, Members…

  • MAKE DAILY SACRIFICES

    Blessed Karl made Mass, the Rosary, and Confession a habit. Daily sacrifices—large or small—for God and our neighbor help restore what sin has marred.

  • SEEK GOD'S WILL

    Is what I am considering doing going to bring me and others closer to heaven? Blessed Karl used this question as a metric to help make decisions and discern God’s Will. This is good practice for each of us.

  • WORK FOR PEACE

    Peace is not merely the absence of war and conflict; rather, it is the ordering of human nature to the eternal law of God. Blessed Karl worked for interior peace and peace in the world. His example invites us to do the same.

League of Prayer Member Duties

Members are called to live a life attuned to Sacrifice, God’s Will, and the Pursuit of Peace. With these in mind, Members promise to do four simple duties:

  • Members are invited to pray one of the Beatification prayers each day. You may also pray any of the additional League Prayers. By praying one, or any, of these prayers, Members are spiritually united to countless others around the globe.

  • In addition to praying the Mass with an engaged mind and heart, the faithful also actively participate by joining (offering up) our own sacrifices and intentions.

    Members of the League are invited to offer one Mass intention each month for the work of the League and the intercession of Blessed Karl.

    Just as the priest offers the Holy Sacrifice for a particular intention, we, too, can offer it for a personal intention. To do so is to apply the infinite, redeeming Blood of Jesus Christ to a particular cause.

    The place in the Mass where this traditionally happens is Offertory, which immediately follows the Prayers of the Faithful. The bread and wine are brought to the altar, and the priest begins the preparation and blessing of the gifts. When he uncovers the paten, we can mentally place our intentions on the host’s paten to be offered up.

  • Members are invited to attend the annual Feast Day Mass, League sponsored Masses and lectures, and other events throughout the year. Members may also wish to make the annual peace pilgrimage organized by the international Gebetsliga. All of these events offer a unique opportunity to meet and connect with other Members. For a complete Calendar of events, visit our events page.

  • Promoting Blessed Karl’s Cause is a invitation for Members of all backgrounds to engage their Membership and get creative. Priest Members may offer a weekly Mass. If you lead your parish’s food pantry, you may work to place it under Blessed Karl’s patronage. Promoting the Cause may be as simple as giving a prayer card to someone who is sick. Members are invited to discern the daily ways in which Blessed Karl’s life and witness can be promoted.
