My God, grant me today five graces...

Wednesday of HOLY WEEK
Spy Wednesday  

"If you can not soar up as high as Christ sitting on His throne, 
behold Him hanging on His cross. Rest in Christ's Passion and
live willingly in His holy wounds." ~ Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ

Angels Bearing Instruments of the Passion (detail) Rogier van der Weyden (+1464)

"Oh, my God, through the
precious Blood of Jesus and His five wounds,  
grant me today five graces:  
the conversion of a sinner,
the conversion of an unbeliever,
the salvation of someone dying in peril of everlasting death; 
a vocation to the priesthood or to the religious life
and, for some new soul, the grace
of entering into and savoring the mystery of the Eucharist."


Prayer of Elisabeth Leseur (+1914)


 


"Life is a journey.  When we stop, 
things don't go right." - Pope Francis

Let us especially be mindful of and in prayer for the hundreds of
Catechumens and Candidates who will fully enter the
Catholic Church and her sacramental life during the Easter Vigil.

John 10:10
