O Holy Spirit, Paraclete and advocate,
we gather in your presence on this Pentecost day,
to honor your eternal flame
that fills us with courage, zeal and love.
As tongues of fire rested on the head of the disciples...

Lord Jesus,
when You ascended into heaven

Wearied by the burdens of life...

Ash Wednesday, the first day of this “journey towards Easter”, which can be demanding if you put your heart into it. Like any mountain hiker walking along a rocky or snowy path, you’re aware of where you’re stepping, you’re aware of the challenges...

Lord Jesus Christ,
You who healed the sick and comforted the afflicted,
You who showed us the Father’s infinite mercy and compassion,..

Sing we the song of Emmanuel
This the Christ who was long foretold
Lo in the shadows of Bethlehem
Promise of dawn now our eyes behold...

Yes! Christmas is approaching, and we are waiting in faith... In faith, we await the Emmanuel, God manifesting himself and becoming present among us.

“Abuse is an act of betrayal, condemning those who suffer it ... prevention must be a permanent process of renewing our commitment to life and the future, on which minors must be able to depend.”

This November, let us pray for our deceased imploring the Lord’s mercy upon their souls.Let us unite in prayer with those who have gone before us to be with the Lord.
