Our hope is in God, who gives us help. Let us call upon him, and say:
Look kindly on your children, Lord.
Lord, our God, you made an eternal covenant with your people,
— keep us ever mindful of your mighty deeds.
Look kindly on your children, Lord.
Let your ordained ministers grow toward perfect love,
— and preserve your faithful people in unity by the bond of peace.
Look kindly on your children, Lord.
Be with us in our work of building the earthly city,
— that in building we may not labor in vain.
Look kindly on your children, Lord.
Send workers into your vineyard,
— and glorify your name among the nations.
Look kindly on your children, Lord.
Welcome into the company of your saints our relatives and benefactors who have died,
— may we share their happiness one day.
Look kindly on your children, Lord.

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!
Our aim is to help Catholics strengthen their spiritual life, deepen their understanding of the faith, and intensify their holiness by catechesis and a variety of Catholic information.
