Prayer Petitions For December 31, 2019

Blessed be the Lord Jesus, our Peace, who came to unite man with God. Let us pray to him in humility:
Lord, grant your peace to all.

When you were born you showed your kindness and gentleness,
— help us always to be grateful for all your blessings.
Lord, grant your peace to all.

You made Mary, your Mother, full of grace,
— give all people the fullness of grace.
Lord, grant your peace to all.

You came to announce God’s good news to the world,
— increase the number of preachers and hearers of your word.
Lord, grant your peace to all.

You desired to become our brother by being born of the Virgin Mary,
— teach men and women to love each other in mutual brotherhood.
Lord, grant your peace to all.

You came as the Sun rising over the earth,
— show the light of your countenance to those who have died
Lord, grant your peace to all.

For this last Christmas of the decade, My Reflection offers a new and unique perspective. I am giving emphasis on the Shepherds of the first ever Christmas. These shepherds are always unnoticed in the Nativity Scene. But what Catholics do not realize is that many of us could actually relate ourselves to them. I assure you that this is an interesting read that would make your appreciation of the Nativity story much more meaningful.

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.
The Best Catholic
