Bringing Him love... from another...

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone... that we may live peaceful 

and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. - I Timothy 2: 1, 2b

“Go to the church and

give my love

to the hidden Jesus.”

St Francisco Marto

Fatima, Portugal

A Prayer Offering for Lent...

"I must become a great saint.  
My Jesus wants it." - St Bernadette 

 

"The world is content with setting right

the surface of things;

the church aims at regenerating

the very depths of the heart."

St John Henry Cardinal Newman

The Idea of a University (1852)

A Prayer of Offering for Lent

My God, I know well, you could have saved us at Your word,

without Yourself suffering; but You did choose to purchase us at the

price of Your Blood.  I look on You, the Victim lifted up on Calvary, and

I know that Your death was an expiation for the sins of the whole world. 

My Lord, I offer You myself in turn as a sacrifice of thanksgiving. 

You have died for me, and I in turn make myself over to You.  My wish

is to be separated from everything of this world; to cleanse myself

simply from sin.  Enable me to carry out what I profess.

Central point of our life...

Fifth Sunday of Lent*

*Final Lenten Sunday before Palm Sunday

Give me justice, O God, and plead my cause against a nation that is faithless.  
From the deceitful and cunning rescue me, for you, O God,
are my strength. - Entrance Antiphon (Today's Liturgy)

 "Without the Eucharist, 
the Church would not exist.

The holy Eucharist 
is the central point of our life. 

I remember once a priest I met. He never talked at great length 
about the sufferings, persecutions and tortures, but he mentioned 
that even in prison, all the priests would celebrate the liturgy.

We were amazed; how could this be possible? 
Where did you get a Chalice and a Paten? 

He took off his glasses and said: 
'This is what we used; one lens served as the chalice 
with a drop of wine and on the other a piece of bread 
was placed, which served as the paten.' 

This is how they celebrated the liturgy in the prison 
or around the premises of the concentration camps.”

Major-Archbishop Swiatoslav Schevchuk

Primate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

We pray, almighty God,

that we may always be counted

among the members of Christ,

in whose Body and Blood we have communion,

Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

- Prayer After Communion (Today's Liturgy)
