Masses and Tears with Fr. Jay Buhman

with Fr. Jay Buhman

Recordings include seven talks

Ten years ago, Father Jay Buhman created a devotion to answer an oft-asked question, “What can I do for my child or loved one who has left the Catholic faith?”

The Masses and Tears devotion consists of a prayer written asking the intercession of Saint Monica, an image of Saint Monica before the Tabernacle, and offering Masses for loved ones who have left the faith.

Father Buhman, pastor of All Saints Parish in Holdrege, said the devotion is meant to support and encourage parents and others to persevere in prayer, so they can be confident and trusting that God is working behind the scenes, pursuing their loved ones.

It is Father Buhman’s desire that the devotion will offer hope and direction during the Advent season for those saddened by their loved ones’ separation from the Church, as this season can be a time when those who have left may feel called to return.
