Praying for our region…

Good Morning 🙏😊🙏

We pray for those who have been devastated by recent natural disasters. We remember those who have lost their lives so suddenly. We hold in our hearts the families forever changed by grief and loss. Bring them consolation and comfort.

Surround them with our prayers for strength. Bless those who have survived and heal their memories of trauma and devastation. May they have the courage to face the long road of rebuilding ahead.
We ask your blessing on all those who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, their security and their hope. Bless the work of relief agencies and those providing emergency assistance. May their work be guided by the grace and strength that comes from You alone.

Help us to respond with generosity in prayer, in assistance, in aid to the best of our abilities. Keep our hearts focused on the needs of those affected, even after the crisis is over. We ask this in Jesus’ name,

Amen.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Precious Blood…

MONTH OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD

The month of July traditionally honors the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. It is the blood of Christ, the Lamb of God, which cleanses from sin, therefore the Church developed a devotion to Jesus’ physical blood and its mystical power, just as it did for his Sacred Heart from which his blood poured out on the Cross. The Precious Blood of Jesus courses through the Church spiritually, giving eternal life to the Body of Christ through the sacraments. Many saints had a devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus, most notably St. Catherine of Siena. Devotion to the Precious Blood spread greatly through the preaching of Bl. Gaspar del Bufalo, a 19th century priest and founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, and was later approved and recommended by the Holy See. The feast day of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is July 1st.

Life… 

Good Morning ☀😊☀
In dealing with life’s challenges and demands, we become weak and vulnerable; we make bad decision; we feel hopeless and helpless. 
We need to realize that we’re in control of ourselves no matter what happens. We will not ignore the unfortunate circumstances because we must use them as reasons for the better person.
Choose to be in healthy environments and foster healthy relationships. 
Avoide negative influences like a plague. Build a positive support system. 
Develop and improve skills. Be productive not destructive. 
Wishing you a thoughtful day 🙏😉🙏

Corpus Christi

SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi, is celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday in honor of the institution of the Holy Eucharist (in the U.S. it is transferred to the following Sunday). The feast originated with the visions of St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon, a Belgian nun deeply devoted to the Holy Eucharist, to whom Jesus appeared requesting a feast in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. St. Juliana shared this with the Church hierarchy, and after decades of opposition Pope Urban IV instituted the feast of Corpus Christi for the universal Church in 1264. At the time there was a formal dispute among theologians on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist—that is, Christ’s actual Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—for the first time in Church history. In response to this heresy and in support of the authenticity of St. Juliana’s visions, the first recorded Eucharistic Miracle took place in Orvieto, Italy which proved the truth of the literal interpretation of Christ’s doctrine handed down from the Apostles. The Holy Father requested that the liturgy for the feast be composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, now one of the Church’s most sublimely poetic liturgies. Corpus Christi is traditionally accompanied with Eucharistic large and elaborate public processions, most notably by the Holy Father in Rome.

To be Redeemed… 

“It is suffering, more than anything else, which clears the way for the grace which transforms human souls. Suffering, more than anything else makes present in the history of humanity the powers of the Redemption.”
— Pope St. John Paul II

Decisions… Decisions…

Good Morning ☀😉☀
Decision making is a complicated process when we’re not informed well.

We have to make many decisions in our lives.

Most times we’re only able to know after the decision was made if it’s a right or wrong one.

When we discover it’s a wrong one, don’t regret it but be sure to learn the lessons associated with it. 

 When it’s a right decision be sure to stick to it, be wise and flexible with your approach as you follow through. 
Wishing you a marvelous day 🙏😉🙏

The Holy Trinity

HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY

On the first Sunday after Pentecost the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This revealed doctrine of God’s nature is that the eternal God is one in essence and being, yet three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son (the Incarnate Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. This is the central and greatest mystery of the Christian faith. An everlasting and loving union with the Holy Trinity is the final end for which mankind is created. The divine inner life of the Holy Trinity is generously given to us as sanctifying grace through the Church’s Sacraments, which is fully and perfectly possessed by the saints in heaven.

Pentecost

When Jesus ascended into heaven 40 days after Easter, he instructed his Apostles to wait in Jerusalem for the sending of the Holy Spirit. Ten days later, on the Lord’s Day, the Apostles together with Mary were praying in the Upper Room when the Holy Spirit descended upon them as tongues of fire, as recorded in the second chapter of Acts. Jews from distant lands were gathered in Jerusalem for the Feast of the Harvest of the Firstfruits, the closing festival of the Pascal season. The Apostles, filled with the Holy Spirit, began to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the various languages of the people. Scripture records that as a result, 3,000 souls were baptized and added to the Church that day. Because of this, Pentecost is considered the birthday of the Catholic Church.
