30.Responding to the Corona virus with  prayers… (3-16-2020)

and go on praying!

… a penitential  season, greeted with a  firm determination to engage in penitential practices,. which  we believe is something which is good for our soul and which makes us more able to  immerse ourselves more fully in the joys of Easter.

The  beautiful  Lenten Propers help us  to keep joyfully purposeful as we are  in the task  mortifying ourselves for the sake of  self-purification, for atonement for our personal sins and for those of the world

Her is a hymn from the Lenten  liturgy-  chanted at ad Matutinum

Onward, Christian soldiers!

…. the Feast of  Apparition of the Blessed  Virgin  Mary at Lourdes.

May She , by the grace of God be present in our hearts too, to be praised and implored for  for help!

May She guide us to make the Season of Septuagesima (started on Febrrary 8th – see more about it under  the tab “Breviary notes” ) spiritually fruitful!

… we are reflecting on the journey of the three Magi of the East, as led by the light of the star they journeyed  toward seeing the light -giving  King of the world, to lay their gifts at His feet.

Let us then ask for the graces   of this   holy  Season to see that  light   which God wants us to follow and by which we would perceive how to give the  gift most pleasing  to Our   Saviour – ourselves.

See the notes  on Epiphany in the tab of “Breviary notes” and  look at  the two hymns for the Season under the  tab of  “Devotions”!

… and we are getting ready to prepare our homes for the Christmas festivities, let us also prepare our hearts for the arrival of the Christ child by getting rid of the  cobwebs of old attachments, sweeping away the debris of old sins by going to confession, lighting the fires of charity and practice singing by the practice of virtues so that when the  day of Christmas  arrives, our song will be pleasing to God.

….has died on September 25th. God in His mercy shortened  her time of suffering.

The funeral will be at Clear Creek on October  1st 2019.  Please pray for the repose of her soul and  for consolation for those of us , who loved her and will miss her.
