PRAYER FOR PEACE

Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in our hearts of the people today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths toward the future.

From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against human life from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin; individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations.

Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world the infinite saving power of merciful love.

May it put a stop to evil, may it put a stop to war. May it transform consciences, May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. Amen.

BEATITUDES

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when men reproached you, and persecute you, and speaking falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for My sake.

----READINGS FOR UPCOMING SUNDAY MASS----

A PRAYER OF HOPE

Lord Jesus, You welcome into Your kingdom all those who do Your Father’s will and You reward with eternal life all who see You in the poor and lowly. We pray now for all our loved ones, family and friends, who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith: (pause here for silent reflection)

In your great mercy, be mindful of their good deeds and forgive them their offenses. Bring them safely home to heaven, together with your Mother Mary and all angels and saints

There we hope to rejoice one day together with them, for we hope in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. We firmly trust that you will come to judge the living and the dead and we believe that your kingdom will have no end. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE POPE

May I praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

CHAPLET OF MERCY

Most compassionate God, Father of mercy and Lord of all consolation, who dost not wish the damnation of him who believes and trusts in Thee; look down upon us, we beseech Thee, according to the multitude of Thy mercies and increase Thy mercy, that even in the greatest trials of this life we may always faithfully comply Thy Will, which is mercy itself.

Through Thy Son and our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with Thee for ever and ever. Amen.

Independence Day Reflection

Upon celebrating independence day, reflect on being independent from the temptations of the devil. Be selfless to let God reign in our hearts so we may have the strength to fight tempting offers that are not of love. Be of service to those who need help the most because they too are children of God. Be aware of the devil's work behind a sheep's skin for they can be misleading at times. Be sharers of God's Word, shine to others who are still in the dark, lost and confused. Be willing to offer Him your disappointments in life to make it less disappointing and be contented with oneself, what you have, what you are, who you are make one special in the eyes of God for you are created in His image and likeness. Be independent from sins but not from God.

Prayer to Padre Pio

A Prayer to Padre Pio 
 
Beloved Padre Pio, today I come to add my prayer to the thousands of prayers offered to you every day by those who love and venerate you in Jesus' name. They ask for cures and healing, earthly and spiritual blessings, and peace for body and mind. And because of your friendship with the Lord, he heals those you ask to be healed, and forgives those you ask be forgiven in Jesus' name.

Through your visible wounds of the Crucified Jesus, which you bore for 50 years, you were chosen in our time to glorify the crucified Jesus. Because the Cross has been replaced by other symbols, please help us bring back the veneration of the wounds of Jesus Christ, for we acknowledge His Precious Blood as true a sign of salvation, cleansing and purification.
 As we lovingly recall the wounds that pierced your hands, feet and side, like  beloved Jesus Christ, we not only remember the blood He shed as you also shed in pain, along with your smile, and the invisible halo of sweet smelling flowers that surrounded your presence certainly the Scent of The Lord, symbolic as the perfume of sanctity.
 Padre Pio, may the healing of the sick become the testimony that the Lord has invited you to join the holy company of Saints. In your kindness, please help me with my own special request: (mention here your petition, and make the sign of the Cross).

Bless me and my loved ones. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

7 DIFFERENCES POPE FRANCIS HAS MADE IN ONE APPEARANCE.

7 DIFFERENCES POPE FRANCIS HAS MADE IN ONE APPEARANCE.

1. Changed the golden throne by a wooden chair... Something more appropriate for the disciple of a carpenter.

2. Did not want the gold-embroidered red stole, Heir of the Roman Empire, nor the red chasuble...

3. Uses same old black shoes, not the classic red.

4. Uses a metal cross, not of rubies and diamonds.

5. His papal ring is silver, not gold.

6. Uses the same black pants under the cassock, to remember that he is a another priest.

Have you discovered the 7th?

7. Removed the red carpet... He is not interested in fame and applause...

A picture about the 7 different things POPE FRANCIS has made since becoming a pope is circulating on the net by someone who likes to compare. This can twist people's understanding of a pope. Pope is no different from a president. They are entitled to their own style and way of life. If there is any changes, so be it because that is how the person wants to be.

However, whatever changes the new pope made that is different from the outgoing pope is normal. We should not judge according to what we see but to think deeper and understand the whole person. I personally believe that all popes love God. If they don't, why become a priest? All popes are humble, knowing very well that God is the ultimate creator. I think all pope are great men who made a decision to follow God.

With our new pope, I have immense respect for Pope Francis and so with the previous pope and people around the world. He has shown great examples of humbleness, modesty, of tolerance and of kindness in these few months since becoming pope. That is something we should focus on. Maybe it was written in the Prophecy that a pope will arrive as humble as Christ for us to be reminded and be Christ like.  To be Christ like is to be a true servant of the word of God.

They all deserve love and respect. Catholics or not, our teachings are all about peace and goodwill.

Short Prayer Reflections

I am miserable, a prisoner of my soul, loaded with fetters until you comfort me with the light of Your presence and restore me to hope by Your touch of love.

O Mary, my mother, grant that I may always show your virtues in my actions and words. Lay your mantel upon me, so I may live in accordance to your Son's way.

To seek God first, hoping to be always first in His list. Therefore, I seek the Lord with all might, soul and mind for he is the way, the truth and the life.

Now I am starting to believe that all is not lost when anything happens contrary to what you have wanted. In every failure, something good is awaiting, it is for you to discover - with faith in heart. It will be accordingly...

I will speak to my Lord as if I am dust and ashes, a nothing, when the wind blows, I disappears. For HE is my creator and dust will I be according to HIS WILL.

Strive thyself to be good and faithful servant of the Lord, to bravely bear our cross with love, hope and peace for HE died for us because of HIS Love for us, hope for our wickedness and to shower peace into our hearts.

Resolve on something definite, against those things that hinder us from getting closer to our Dear Mother Mary and to examine ourselves, INTERIOR and EXTERIOR, as both are necessary for our advancement in faith.

Loving Mary intimately is learning divine things and speaking in wonders. One learn to abandon material things and be free from attachment in this world, for Mary is enough as our attachment to God.

I acknowledge myself unworthy of divine consolation but worthy of more sufferings to cleanse me from my pride, anger and judgments...so help me Mother Mary.

There are many who, when things do not go the way they want it to be, immediately lose their desire to pray and becomes bitter to God's love. Mary never did...

Grant O God, that I may love You as You deserved to be loved with all my soul, my mind and my heart. Love for all times - all occasions and all circumstances...

We have to remember that we survived because of our faith. Without faith, we wither like plants without water.

The road maybe be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous and ordinary but it leads to the most amazing view...The paradise to heaven.

May all humankind offer blessings to each other, let go of any anger, so we may live peacefully.

Let the heavens be your guide and nature your companion when you are in confusion...for it is God who gave us life and by His grace we make decisions through His whispers in the wind.

Jesus is the only religious leader that is risen from the dead and was born through Mary, The Immaculate Conception. Do we need more proof?

In times of need, remember that each of us has a strength as vast as the ocean and as strong as the wind that is always ready within us, if we only believe that we can because God is in our hearts and He provides.

For a real spiritual exercise this Holy Week, please join your parish celebration of the Easter Triduum which will begin today, Thursday and will end on Saturday's Easter Vigil. Check with your parish the schedule of these three most beautiful liturgies. It's the simple way of reminding ourselves how Jesus sacrificed for us.

The Blessed Virgin Mary = The Godbearer.

May I learn to say YES when God ask me to help the needy.

Learn to say YES when ask to pray for the lost ones who can't find their way.

May I learn to say YES when ask to share my time to those lonely believers.

and learn to say YES, by extending my hands to those who are suffering...

Sweet Mary, teach me to be sweet like you. To be sweet to others and to my self when life turns sour. To be sweet inspite of the bitterness that visits my life some days. To use sweetness as my weapon to help others see the sweetness of you - loving us like your own child, like our brother God Jesus.

And her name is Mary. Simple yet blessed, and with her faith, she said "yes, I am the servant of the Lord, be it done to me according to Thy will" How many of us can say "Yes" with faith in our hearts? A yes that let God take care of us? It is tough bur with God nothing is impossible. Be like Mary, say Yes to God.

Having a bad day? Talk to the Blessed Virgin Mary and you'll be happy! She who is always comforting - with her soft and gentle whispers - and a smile that never fades. Then hug your mother if you have one or hug a mother of a friend if you have none. You will be amazed...

Make the Blessed Virgin Mary the Queen in your family. She who is in heaven before us. The children will love Mary just as their caring mother's daily cooking, cleaning, preparing and working, a way to show the children the beautiful Love of Mary to Jesus and the child Jesus as their example of a good child.

Blessed Virgin Mary, your mantle of love is what keeps me going in love...to others. Show you care for others is something the Blessed Virgin Mary would be smiling upon you and lay the mantle of love to protect you...

Mother Mary, what a lovely mother you are to me. When I am sad, your face is suffice to brighten my day because I see that love in your eyes, your love for me - even in the darkest moment of my thoughts. Those eyes that looked through my soul, connecting with gentleness, wakes me up from the dark to see the light again.

Mary holds Christ in her left hand and with her right hand she "shows the way" by pointing to Him...

A 4 year old girl was told that reciting the rosary is like making a necklace made of roses for a mother dear. She would like to offer a rosary to Mother Mary but she can't read yet. Here is how her rosary go while holding the rosary in her tiny hands:

Our Father

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Hail Mary

Glory Be.

She did it 5 times for the 5 Mysteries and was glad to offer a rosary to Mother Mary in her own little way.

Like the leaves falling everyday, it is Mother Mary's way of giving love through the leaves that come my way. While the tree stood still to give shade, Mother Mary represents that tree, standing still - always there and reminds us of her love.

Let Mother Mary hold your hand like your mother holding your hand when you were younger, walking hand in hand, together, and with love for each other...

For those mothers who are suffering from hardship these days, be it work, family matters and financial difficulty, we pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary that they will have enough faith to offer it to Jesus through Mary, wisdom to decide for the Glory of God, and to just let it happen for a reason only God knows...

Harmony

I wish to be in harmony with God's plan at all times. Where I don't question his ways and willingly follow His plan, the purpose of my existence. Harmonizing even at the murky scene ahead of me for God knows what is best for me. When things go wrong at times, call upon Jesus for harmony and thus understanding why it happened that way becomes no longer a struggle but accepting. For it is in understanding that we gain strength to right a wrong.  That questioning befalls one's stubbornness, allowing enthusiasm to discover more of God's plan for we exist for a reason, a very good reason yet to discover everyday as it unfolds in our very mind, heart and soul.

Be in harmony with the people around you. From family to friends and acquaintances but especially with oneself.
