God Himself felt for the people of Israel who were slaves to the Egyptians when he said:  “I have seen the AFFLICTION of my people and have heard their CRY. I know their SUFFERINGS” (Exodus 3:7).  Our lessons today are simple and straightforward. *One: Sin is Slavery.* As much as we detest slavery, St. Paul teaches us today that sin by its very nature can be likened to a form of slavery. Just as the Israelites were afflicted and agonized by the Egyptian taskmasters, we are all afflicted as long as we allow sin to dominate our lives. According to St. Paul:  “These things are WARNINGS for us, not to desire evil as they did nor grumble as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer”  (1Cor. 10:10).  *Two: Never Underestimate Sin.* Sin is an affliction, a suffering, a detestable condition, something that makes us live lower than the dignity God desires for us. In fact, in our Gospel passage, we see that not only is Sin a form of slavery, but it...

St. Peregrine was born in 1260 at Forlì, Italy to an affluent family. He lived a comfortable life as a youth, and politically opposed the papacy. After he experienced the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he changed his life and joined the Servite order. He was ordained a priest, and later returned to his home to establish a Servite community. There he was widely known for his preaching, penances, and counsel in the confessional. He was cured of cancer, after he received a vision of Christ on the cross reaching out His hand to touch his impaired limb. He died in 1345 and was canonized in 1726. He is the patron saint for persons suffering from cancer, AIDS and other illnesses. Prayer to Saint Peregrine O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty," "The Wonder-Worker," because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that des...

Give me the means to do your work, and spread your Love. I have so much to give if only I were allowed the chance. In the Name of Jesus Christ your Son, I pray. Amen

The season of Lent begins on  Ash Wednesday , most notably by the public imposition of ashes. The season of Lent begins on  Ash Wednesday , most notably by the public imposition of ashes. There is a strong biblical base for fasting, particularly during the 40 days of Lent leading to the celebration of Easter. Jesus, as part of his spiritual preparation, went into the wilderness and fasted 40 days and 40 nights, according to the Gospels.  Fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday with only one simple meal during the day, usually without meat. Refrain from eating meat (bloody foods) on all Fridays in Lent, substituting fish for example. Eliminate a food or food group for the entire season. Especially consider saving rich and fatty foods for Easter. Consider not eating before receiving Communion in Lent. Abstain from or limit a favorite activity (television, movies, etc.) for the entire season, and spend more time in prayer, Bible study, and reading devotional material. ...

In 1917 , our Blessed Mother showed the vision of hell to the 3 children. She told them that they saw hell where poor sinners went because no one prayed and offered sacrifices for them. She taught us through the children the prayer to be said after every decade of the Holy Rosary...o my Jesus forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell..... Jesus responded to our prayers in a new form of prayer for MERCY called the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to save many souls, our own souls, the souls of our love ones, the souls of all sinners before Christ comes as a just judge. Let us therefore pray the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily and devoutly. We can continue praying these in the coming persecution of the Catholic Church, God forbid when Holy Masses may be outlawed by our persecutors....as our Lord said to St Peter that the gates of he'll will not prevail against the Holy Catholic Church. We trust that the Catholic Church will triumph through the TRIUMPH of the ...

On the Third Apparition on Fatima, July 13, 1917, Our Lady said: "I want you to continue to pray the Rosary every day in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, because only she can help you." "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially when you make some sacrifice: O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." "You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”  “‘O MY JESUS, FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND SAVE US FROM THE FIRE OF HELL. LEAD ALL SOULS TO HEAVEN, ESPECIALLY THISE WHO ARE MOST IN NEED OF YOUR MERCY.’"
