Prayer Petitions For January 1, 2020 – Mary Mother of God

To Christ, Emmanuel, whom the Virgin conceived and brought forth, let us give praise and pray to him:
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

You gave Mary the joy of motherhood,
— give all parents true joy in their children.
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

King of peace, your kingdom is one of justice and peace,
— help us to seek the paths of peace.
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

You came to make the human race the holy people of God,
— bring all nations to acknowledge the unifying bond of your love.
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

By your birth you strengthened family ties,
— help families to come to a greater love for one another.
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

You desired to be born into the days of time,
— grant that our departed brothers and sisters may be born into the day of eternity.
Son of the Virgin Mary, hear us.

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
