Bishop
Michael F. Burbidge led a holy hour for relief from anxiety and stress at the
Cathedral of St. Thomas More in Arlington Sept. 10. The evening event focused
on Eucharistic adoration, with live music by Kenny Kohlhaas and Marie
Miller.  

About 
120 in-person participants quietly prayed in the dark cathedral, where clouds
of incense wafted around the altar. More than 2,300 viewers watched via
livestream.  

“When we try
to face the pressures and demands of this earthly journey alone, relying on our
own resources, we will always be anxious and distressed,” said Bishop Burbidge.
“But yoked to the Lord, to his healing love and saving power, we will always
know the serenity and peace for which we long.”
