A Beautiful Prayer to Say this Christmas

Christmas Prayer 

Lord God, heavenly Father, we give thanks that in your great mercy and compassion you allowed your dear Son to become incarnate and through him redeemed us from sin and eternal death. Enlighten our hearts by your Holy Spirit that we may always be thankful for such grace and be comforted in all trouble and temptation, and at last, obtain eternal salvation; through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one true God, now and forever. Amen.

Prayer to Jesus

 

Jesus our Master, Walk with Us

Jesus our Master, walk with us on the road as we yearn to reach the heavenly country, so that following your light, we may stay on the way of righteousness, and never wander into the horrible darkness of this world’s night, while you, the way, the truth, and the life, are shining within us.

A Christmas Prayer to Include Jesus

Dear Lord, too many times I have excluded You from my Christmas and been satisfied with presents and stuff.  Let me not be content until I experience the gift of You in my heart.  Cause me to see You as the ultimate Gift.  In Jesus  Name, Amen.

A Prayer of love to Jesus by Saint Bonaventure

Prayer for the Love of Jesus

Ah! sweet Jesus, pierce the marrow of my soul with the healthful arrows of your love, that it may truly burn, and melt, and languish, with the desire for you alone; that it may desire to be dissolved and to be with you; let it hunger alone for the bread of life; let it thirst after you, the spring and fountain of eternal light, the stream of true pleasure; let it always desire you, seek you, and find you, and sweetly rest in you. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Ghost for a Special Favor

O HOLY GHOST, Thou art the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity! Thou art the Spirit of truth, love and holiness, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and equal to Them in all things! I adore Thee and love Thee with all my heart. Teach me to know and to seek God, by whom and for whom I was created. Fill my heart with a holy fear and a great love of Him. Give me compunction and patience, and do not let me fall into sin.

Increase in me faith, hope and charity, and bring forth in me all the virtues proper to my state of life. Help me to grow in the four cardinal virtues, Thy seven Gifts and Thy twelve Fruits.

 Make me a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, an obedient child of the Church, and a help to my neighbor. Give me the grace to keep the Commandments and to receive the Sacraments worthily. Raise me to holiness in the state of life to which Thou hast called me, and lead me through a happy death to everlasting life. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Grant me also, O Holy Ghost, Giver of all good gifts, the special favor for which I ask (name it), if it be for Thy honor and glory and for my well-being.

Glory be to the Father and, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. 

Amen.

Prayer for the New Year 2021

 

PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF MISSIO AD GENTES 2021

Lord God and our loving Father, you sent your Son into the world to preach the Good News of Salvation to all: to the sinners, the poor, the oppressed, the sick, to the abandoned and the rejected. He gave his life on the Cross for us, and rose to new life, to save and restore us to you. You send the Holy Spirit to the Apostles to continue the work of your Son and lead all in the way of salvation. We thank you, Father, for leading us from darkness to light. Through your loving plan, five hundred years ago, missionaries came to our country to preach the Gospel of Jesus, your Son, to our ancestors, making us your people and the Church. The gift of faith accompanies us through the darkness as well as the light, the failure and the victory in our history as your people. Our faith became a real light to us, shining in the midst of darkness. Renew in us the grace of your Spirit that inspires us to be witnesses of Jesus, your Son, to a world stricken by human greed, cruelty, injustice, pain and suffering. Our faith would have united us as your children to care for and love one another. May the Holy Spirit empower us, so that we may be evangelizers to our brothers here in Asia and in all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others, so that they may believe in the Lord Jesus and so that they may share in your joy and life. Blessed Mother, and Star of Evangelization, may be with us and pray for us in our lives and share our faith with others. Our great love and devotion to her as our Beloved Mother, will shape us so that we can be true disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and always obedient to whatever ' Jesus will ask us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. AMEN.

Know about the Story of Saint Andrew, Brother of Peter November 30 Feast Day

 

🕊 SAINT OF THE DAY 🕊

🙏🏻 SAINT ANDREW 🙏🏻

(Feast Day: Nov. 30)

Pray for us!

Saint Andrew’s Story

Andrew was Saint Peter’s brother, and was called with him. “As [Jesus] was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is now called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’ At once they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:18-20).

John the Evangelist presents Andrew as a disciple of John the Baptist. When Jesus walked by one day, John said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” Andrew and another disciple followed Jesus. “Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come, and you will see.’ So they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day” (John 1:38-39a).

Little else is said about Andrew in the Gospels. Before the multiplication of the loaves, it was Andrew who spoke up about the boy who had the barley loaves and fishes. When the Gentiles went to see Jesus, they came to Philip, but Philip then had recourse to Andrew.

Legend has it that Andrew preached the Good News in what is now modern Greece and Turkey and was crucified at Patras on an X-shaped cross.

Reflection

As in the case of all the apostles except Peter and John, the Gospels give us little about the holiness of Andrew. He was an apostle. That is enough. He was called personally by Jesus to proclaim the Good News, to heal with Jesus’ power and to share his life and death. Holiness today is no different. It is a gift that includes a call to be concerned about the Kingdom, an outgoing attitude that wants nothing more than to share the riches of Christ with all people.
