Prayer Petitions For December 24, 2019

Christ Jesus emptied himself and took the form of a slave. He was tested like us in all things and did not sin. Now let us worship him and pray to him with deep faith:
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

You came into the world heralding the new age foretold by the prophets,
— give your holy people the gift of renewal in every generation.
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

You once took on the weakness of our human condition,
— be light now for those who do not see, strength for the wavering and comfort for the troubled of heart.
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

You were born into poverty and lowliness,
— look with favor on the poor and comfort them.
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

By your birth bring joy to all peoples with the promise of unending life,
— give joy to the dying through the hope of heavenly birth.
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

You came to earth to lead everyone into the kingdom,
— share your life of glory with those who have died.
By the power of your birth, comfort those who are saved.

The End of the World: An Advent Reflection
The Catholic Church traditionally teaches us the Four Last Things (Death, Purgatory, Heaven, Hell) and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ during the Season of Advent. However, many Catholics still avert from such topics because they are frightened of these things. My Reflection this Advent on the End of the World aims to give awareness and more insights into these truths, which we must face sooner or later. My piece also includes a Personal Message to my dear Readers.

Saint Teresa of Avila: ‘Sinners Who Became Saints’ Series (Part 1)
The Series starts with Saint Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church. Who would have thought that the great Mystic and Contemplative used to battle personal sins of worldliness? This piece I wrote contains the narrative of it and a unique ‘My Reflection’ that is thought-provoking and eye-opening.
