Mon 5th wk in Lent - Homily: Holding onto Innocence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAUx5Ou46Fc Fr. Elias on the two accounts of a woman caught in adultery, Susanna in the Old Testament, who was innocent, and the woman brought before Jesus in the New Testament, who was guilty, but both had fallen into the hands of wicked men who trapped them and were making a travesty of justice. Father points out that if faced with such terrible choices, as we are more and more often today, it is better to fall in the hands of the wicked by holding onto innocence than to give in to evil. Ave Maria! Mass: Monday 5th Week of Lent - Wkdy - Form: OF Readings: 1st: dan 13:41-62 Resp: psa 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6 Gsp: joh 8:12-20 Year C

NOVEMBER 2024 - The Pope Video 11 - FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

The loss of a child may be the worst pain a father and mother can experience. There’s no word that could possibly describe such profound grief. Pope Francis asks us to join him in prayer this month precisely for those parents who have lost a child. In the Video produced by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network that accompanies his prayer intention, Pope Francis invites us to listen in a particular way to those fathers and mothers who suffer this heartbreaking loss – to listen to them and be near them with love, just like Jesus when he cared for the most vulnerable. The Pope stresses how important it is that families support each other, with their faith which is a great pillar on which hope can be reborn. 🙏 “Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation.” "What can we say to parents who have lost a child? How can we console them? There are no words. You see, when one spouse loses the other, they are a widower or a widow. A child who loses a parent is an orphan. There’s a word for that. But when a parent loses a child, there’s no word. The pain is so great, that there’s no word. And it’s not natural to outlive your child. The pain caused by this loss is especially intense. Words of encouragement are at times banal or sentimental, they’re not helpful. Spoken with the best intention, of course, they can end up aggravating the wound. To offer comfort to these parents who have lost a child, we need to listen to them, to be close to them with love, to care responsibly for the pain they feel, imitating how Jesus Christ consoled those who were afflicted. And those parents who are sustained by their faith can certainly find comfort in other families who, by suffering such a terrible tragedy as this, have been reborn in hope. Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation." ----------------------------------------- For those who have lost a child – The Pope Video11 – November 2024

San Mikiel Arkanġlu / St Michael the Archangel

San Mikiel Arkanġlu, idħol għalina
fit-taqbida; kun int il-għajnuna
tagħna kontra l-ħażen u t-tnassis
tad-demonju. Irażżnu Alla, nitolbuk
bil-ħerqa. Int l-aqwa fost il-qtajja’
tas-sema, itfa' bil-Qawwa t'Alla,
fil-qiegħ ta' l-infern lix-xitan u
l-ispirti ħżiena l-oħra li jiġġerrew
fid-dinja għat-telfien ta' l-erwieħ.
Ammen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend
us in battle, be our defense against
the wickedness and snares of the
devil; may God rebuke him, we
humbly pray, and do thou O
Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the Divine Power, thrust
into hell satan and all the
evil spirits who prowl about
the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.
