“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone.” -Martina Navratilova

Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it. (PV 22:6)

Most holy Mother of God, you were blessed beyond all people, graced beyond what I will ever comprehend. Thank you for your “Yes” to God in all things. Thank you for your pure and holy love for your Son, for your motherly heart, your motherly pondering, and your motherly care for all your children. Pray for me that I may become more like your Son so as to merit you as my mother and queen. Mother of God, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.

Today is born our Savior, Christ the Lord.
Merry Christmas. ❤️

It amazes me to witness a street sweeper starting work so early, carefully preparing the city each day so people can enjoy a clean place to live. 💚🫡

PRAYER BEFORE THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

O Most Holy and Blessed Sacrament,
I come before You in awe and reverence,
acknowledging Your real presence in this Eucharist.
You are the Body and Blood of our LORD JESUS CHRIST,
the source of life, grace, and mercy.

I humbly adore You, LORD,
and I thank You for the gift of Yourself to us.
I offer You my heart, my soul, and my life,
asking for Your forgiveness, peace, and healing.

Strengthen my faith and draw me closer to Your divine presence.
May this time of adoration renew my spirit,
guide my steps, and fill me with the love and grace I need to follow You more faithfully.

O Blessed Sacrament,
stay with me always, and help me to be a reflection of Your love to the world.
Amen!

💜

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen.

'Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.'
- St. John Chrysostom

O most holy Mother, Queen of Sorrows, who followed your beloved Son through all the Way of the Cross, and whose heart was pierced with a fresh sword of grief at all the stations of that most sorrowful journey, obtain for us, we beseech you, O most loving Mother, a perpetual remembrance of our Blessed Saviour’s Cross and Death, and a true and tender devotion to all the mysteries of his most holy Passion.

Obtain for us the grace to hate sin, even as he hated it in the agony in the garden; to endure wrong and insult with all patience as he endured them in the judgement hall; to be meek and humble in all our trials as he was before his judges; to love our enemies even as he loved his murderers, and prayed for them upon the Cross; and to glorify God and to do good to our neighbour, even as he did in every mystery of his suffering.

O Queen of Martyrs, who by the Dolours of your Immaculate Heart on Calvary, merited to share the Passion of our Most Holy Redeemer, obtain for us some portion of your compassion, that for the love of Jesus crucified, we may be crucified to the world in this life, and in the life to come may, by his infinite merits and your powerful intercession, reign with him in glory everlasting.

Amen.

Our Lady of Sorrows, Ora Pro Nobis.
