God aids and protects the people he has chosen for his inheritance. Let us give thanks to him and proclaim his goodness:
Lord, we trust in you.
We pray for our Pope, and for all our bishops,
— protect them and in your goodness make them holy.
Lord, we trust in you.
May the sick feel their companionship with the suffering Christ,
— and know that they will enjoy his eternal consolation.
Lord, we trust in you.
In your goodness have compassion on the homeless,
— help them to find proper housing.
Lord, we trust in you.
In your goodness give and preserve the fruits of the earth,
— so that each day there may be bread enough for all.
Lord, we trust in you.
Lord, you attend the dying with great mercy,
— grant them an eternal dwelling.
Lord, we trust in you.

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.
