A Week of Prayer for All of Our Priests and Consecrated Members: June 7th – 13th
Regnum Christi invites our entire spiritual family and all our friends to join us in praying especially for our brothers and sisters living the consecrated vocations of Legionary priests, Consecrated Women, and Lay Consecrated Men in our territory.
Each week throughout the year, we will pray together for a different group of Legionaries and Consecrated, spanning all the communities across the territory, as our “Priests and Consecrated of the Week.”
Our Consecrated members are men and women who have said yes to Christ’s call to follow him, leaving everything behind to dedicate their entire lives to him and to join him in the mission of building his Kingdom. We come together to support them with our prayer, asking our Lord to strengthen them, hold them close to his Sacred Heart, and give them his deep joy as they live their mission each day.
This Week We Pray for
Br. Zachary Le Leux grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he attended the Highlands School. Here, surrounded by friends, teachers, Legionary priests, and Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, Br. Zachary became involved in many apostolates, including Holy Week missions and ECYD. Becoming more open to the idea of a vocation to the priesthood, he attended the Ignition Retreat at the seminary in Cheshire, then gave a mission year with RC Mission Corps in Monterrey, Mexico. Here, his vocation was confirmed, and he entered the candidacy program the following summer. He made his first vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in 2025 and is now a first-year humanist at LC Cheshire.
Lucy Honner is originally from Adelaide, South Australia, where she worked professionally as an architect before becoming consecrated in 1998. Since then, she has exercised her apostolate as a speaker, spiritual director, integrated health coach, and retreat director throughout North America. She is currently serving as the assistant director of campus ministry at University Catholic, a community of students in the Nashville area who are serious about their faith.
Fr. Nathan Torrey, LC is from Slidell, Louisiana and was ordained in 2019. For the first 7 years of his priesthood, he served as the assistant of novices at the Legionaries of Christ Novitiate and College of Humanities in Cheshire, Connecticut where he helped to transmit the charism to new Legionary brothers with a focus on human formation. In 2025, he was assigned to the locality of Atlanta, Georgia where he works with ECYD boys, transmitting the very same charism of the movement!
Tammy Grady is originally from Nova Scotia, Canada and has been consecrated since 1995. Tammy has devoted much of her 30 years of consecration to the ministry of vocation awareness and discernment and to the pastoral care of young adults, and for the past 20 years, she has been a member of the consecrated community in Dallas, Texas. Currently, she is serving young adults in Dallas, as well as ministering to college students at Benedictine College in Kansas.
Fr. Daniel Brandenburg, LC grew up in rural Iowa and was ordained in 2007. In 2016, Fr. Daniel survived a heart attack and in 2018 was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer. The experience of suffering and brushes with death has colored his outlook on life. Fr. Daniel is the author of 10 published books (www.frdanielbrandenburg.com). He currently serves as chaplain for the Lumen Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, while also supporting Regnum Christi in Jacksonville, Florida and occasionally in other areas around the country. He is the chairman of the board of directors for Catholic World Mission and Sacred Heart Apostolic School. He co-hosts the weekly radio show and podcast Crossed Wires.
Fr. Gregory Usselmann, LC is from Saint Louis, MO and was ordained in 2010. He is currently a part of the Dallas community, serving as the Regnum Christi young men’s section director.
Prayer for Priests and Consecrated Members in Regnum Christi
God our Father,
We thank you for our spiritual family of Regnum Christi, and for those within it that you have called to total consecration as Legionaries of Christ, Consecrated Women, and Lay Consecrated Men.
We ask you to renew their encounter with your Son Jesus Christ,
who goes out to meet them and reveals the love of his heart to them.
Deepen their personal love for Christ
and their trust in his love for them.
Gather them close to him,
form them,
and send them out accompanied by your Son,
in the mission of forming apostles and Christian leaders who make your Kingdom present in hearts, in families, and in society.
Send your Holy Spirit to sanctify and strengthen them,
And to help them respond generously and courageously to their mission each day.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
