In all that we do, let the name of the Lord be praised, for he surrounds his chosen people with boundless love.
Let our prayer rise up to him:
Lord, show us your love.
Remember your Church, Lord,
— keep her from every evil and let her grow to the fullness of your love.
Lord, show us your love.
Let the nations recognize you as the one true God,
— and Jesus your Son, as the Messiah whom you sent.
Lord, show us your love.
Grant prosperity to our neighbors,
— give them life and happiness for ever.
Lord, show us your love.
Console those who are burdened with oppressive work and daily hardships,
— preserve the dignity of workers.
Lord, show us your love.
Open wide the doors of your compassion to those who have died today,
— and in your mercy receive them into your kingdom.
Lord, show us your love.

Reflection: Jesus Cures Simon Peter’s Mother-in-Law
One of the Gospels for this week is a narrative about Jesus as He begins healing the sick. In this 2018 Post, My Reflection outlines what we can particularly learn from the example of Peter’s mother-in-law, and the example of the prophet Samuel in the First Reading, as well as some reminders about our calling from God.
This first Post to start off the 20’s offers an absorbing My Reflection. I’m sharing with you my heartfelt personal advice on how to let go of the past… the way I did. Many “practicing” Catholics are still carrying the heavy baggages of the past—hurts, wounds, bad choices, wrong decisions, mistakes, regrets. Here is a Catholic perspective on why letting go of the past will enable you to move on, with God, to have a present and a future. I guarantee that there is so much to reflect on and learn in my piece. Happy New Year 2020!
