DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY 3rd APRIL 2016

JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU

Jesus Christ, Lord of all Creation

Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

The Final Confrontation

"We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God's Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously."

Cardinal Karol Wojtyla - 1976, USA

In union with our suffering Brothers and Sisters in Christ throughout the World

The Symbol of a Christian is the Cross

Te Deum (Gregorian Chant)

The Time of lukewarmness in our Church is over....

Pray every day for the Holy Souls

PRAY FOR PERMANENT DIACONATE IN DIOCESE OF KILLALOE

Please pray for the restoration of the Permanent Diaconate in the Diocese of Killaloe. We ask Our Lord to forgive us and to help us to restore this Sacred Vocation in the Church to those who He wishes to call. It is a Call from Christ and we should never put obstacles between Christ and a Soul He wishes to call to Himself to serve in the Church otherwise we will answer to Christ for the loss of Vocations and Souls. We also pray for the new Bishop who will take over the Diocese next year, whoever he may be. We pray also for Bishop Kieran O'Reilly in his new ministry as Archbishop of Cashel/Emly. May God bless him abundantly in his new Diocese.

We will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for this every day.

O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I Trust in You.

Jesus I Trust in You.

Pray every day for our Suffering Brothers and Sisters in Christ in the Middle East & Africa

So many Christians killed and made to leave their homes in Iraq, Syria, other areas of the Middle East, and North Africa

Jesus is truly Present in the Most Holy Eucharist

MY GOD, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee! I ask pardon for for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee.

Prayer to Bl. John Henry Newman for An Irish Ordinariate

Prayer to Bl. John Henry Newman

God our Father, you granted to your servant Blessed John Henry Newman wonderful gifts of nature and of grace, that he should be a spiritual light in the darkness of this world, an eloquent herald of the Gospel, and a devoted servant of the one Church of Christ. With confidence in his heavenly intercession, we make the following petition: [Intention: for an Irish Ordinariate] For his insight into the mysteries of the kingdom, his zealous defense of the teachings of the Church, and his priestly love for each of your children, we pray that he may soon be numbered among the Saints. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Prayer for Priests and Bishops

O God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty and the salvation of mankind; grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers and the stewards of His mysteries, may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry which they have received. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Church, my friends, does not live because of offices, committees and structures (as important as these may be). She lives by the presence of Jesus Christ – our Way, our Truth and our Life. And his presence is experienced in many ways, but most powerfully in his word and in his sacraments – above all, in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.

– Archbishop Charles Brown, From Homily given on 19^th February 2012, at St. Marys Pro Cathedral, Dublin

Words from Archbishop Brown on the Year of Faith

'The Holy Father (now Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI) recommended that we study the Catechism of the Catholic Church as part of the Year of Faith. He described the Catechism as a means of encountering the person of Christ. Remarkably, he wrote “on page after page, we find that what is presented here is no theory, but an encounter with a Person who lives within the Church” (Porta fidei, 11). That Person is Jesus Christ, God made man'.

On Eucharistic Adoration

'The beautiful experience of adoration increases our faith and it also increases our love. There are so many fruits of Eucharistic adoration; vocations to the priesthood and religious life flourish when there is adoration. Adoration should also lead us to a greater love of our brothers and sisters, especially those who are most forgotten, marginalized; the poor, the elderly, unborn children in their mothers’ womb'. -

Prayer for Vocations - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

Prayer for Vocations

O Father, raise up among Christians numerous and holy vocations to the priesthood, to keep the faith alive and guard the gracious memory of your Son Jesus through the preaching of his word and the administration of the Sacraments, with which you continually renew your faithful.

Give us holy ministers of your altar, who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist, the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ for the redemption of the world.
Call ministers of your mercy,who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, spread the joy of your forgiveness.

Grant, O Father, that the Church may welcome with joy numerous inspirations of the Spirit of your Son and, docile to His teachings, may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the consecrated life.

Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons, consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ, so that they may faithfully fulfill their mission at the service of the Gospel. This we pray You through Christ our Lord..
Amen

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us

St.John Paul II - Feast Day 22nd October

St. John Paul II Pray for us and for The Church

"There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us." –

St. John Paul II

On the Saints

Through this blog, I have discovered so many wonderful Saints, great heroes and heroines, and there are so many who still remain unknown to us. What a pity we do not hear more about them in school or even in Church. They are living witnesses to the joy and life that Christ gives to us for all eternity when we persevere in all our struggles with Him. It is important that we share their lives and testimony especially to the young...

Looking good...!

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on the Importance of a Sense of Humour...

Benedict XVI: I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes. But I think it's very important to be able to see the funny side of life and its joyful dimension and not to take everything too tragically. I'd also say it's necessary for my ministry. A writer once said that angels can fly because they don't take themselves too seriously. Maybe we could also fly a bit if we didn't think we were so important.

Prayer for Final Perseverance - St. Alphonsus Liguori

Eternal Father, I Humbly Adore and Thank You, for having Created me, and for having Redeemed me. I Thank You for having made me a Christian, by giving me the True Faith, and for Adopting me as Your Child in Baptism. I Thank You for having given me Time-to Repent, after my many Sins, and for having Pardoned all my Offenses. I Renew my Sorrow for them, because I have Displeased You.

I Thank You also for having Preserved me from Falling-again, as I would have done, if You had not Held me up, and Saved me. But my Enemies, do not cease Fighting-against me, nor will they, until I Die. If You do not Help me Continually, I will Lose Your Grace again. I, therefore, Pray-for Perseverance till Death. Your Son Jesus, has Promised that You will give us whatever we Ask-for in His Name. By the Merits-of Jesus Christ, I beg You, for myself and for all those who are in Your Grace, the Grace-of Never-more being Separated-from Your Love. May we always Love You in this Life, and in the Next.

Mary, Mother of God, Pray to Jesus for me. So I Hope. So may it be.

Amen
