Prayer: Man's escape into reality.

Over this weekend as we close one month and begin a new one, take some time to review your efforts over the last few weeks. Try to recognize where God was and the many ways in which He tried to break in. Praise Him for His most wonderful deeds and thank Him for all that His will has accomplished for you.

The Scripture passages for this weekend are taken from the liturgical readings of the day.

Sat. Hebrews 11: 1,2 and 8-19
Mark 4:35-41

Sun. Mark 1:21-28

Monday we will begin to focus our efforts toward preparing our hearts for Lent. Meet us at the blog.

The New Year

Ask Our Lord and the Most Holy Virgin to show you the cross he wants you to carry this year. Carry it lovingly, faithfully, and generously. Saint Bernadette

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
