Prayer Petitions For January 4, 2020

Today our Savior was adored by the Magi. Let us also worship him with joy as we pray:
Save the poor, O Lord.

King of the nations, you called the Magi to adore you as the first representatives of the nations,
— give us a willing spirit of adoration and service.
Save the poor, O Lord.

King of glory, you judge your people with justice,
— grant mankind an abundant measure of peace.
Save the poor, O Lord.

King of ages, you endure from age to age,
— send your word as fresh spring rain falling on our hearts.
Save the poor, O Lord.

King of justice, you desire to free the poor who have no advocate,
— be compassionate to the suffering and the afflicted.
Save the poor, O Lord.

Lord, your name is blessed for all ages,
— show the wonders of your saving power to our deceased brothers and sisters.
Save the poor, O Lord.

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
