MAY THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, BE ALWAYS IN OUR HEART TO KEEP US HUMBLE, GRATEFUL, MERCIFUL, FORGIVING --- O GOD, BLESS ALL THAT IS COMING FROM YOU AND BREAK ALL THAT IS NOT COMING FROM YOU, AMEN --- This site is just a drop from the immeasurable ocean in JESUS, THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, HOLY TRINITY ONE GOD - HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE - TEACHER, HEALER, REDEEMER --- The main purpose of this site is to make an easier access to Catholic Religion-related links.
Why would an all-powerful, all-loving God allow suffering ?
Because:
a) We’re not marionettes and
b) This earth – for our own greater good – is not a pleasure bubble floating in space.

Omm ħanina
tas-Sokkors Perpetwu, meta nitolbuk għall-għajnuna, minn idejk jgħaddu l-grazzji li Alla jagħtina.
Għalhekk Hu għamlek tant setgħana u għanja biex tkun tista’ tgħinna fi ħtiġijietna.
Int l-avukata ta’ kull min jersaq lejk u l-faraġ ta’ min ifittex il-protezzjoni
tiegħek.
Għinni
Madonna! F’idejk jien nerħi ruħi. F’idejk inqiegħed is-salvazzjoni tiegħi. Żommni taħt il-ħarsien tiegħek, u dan hu
biżżejjed għalija. Jekk int, O Marija, tħarisni, minn xejn ma nibża’ għax naf li
tidħol għalija quddiem Ibnek Ġesu’.
Żomm idejk fuqi, fuq il-familja
tiegħi u fuq pajjiżi. Bierek il-ħidma ta’ dawk kollha li qed jagħmlu t-tajjeb u
lili agħtini l-grazzja li fil-mumenti iebsa u f’kull tfixkil, nirrikorri lejk u
ngħidlek: O Madonna, għinni nimtela bl-imħabba lejn ibnek Ġesu. Omm tas-Sokkors għinni, ħalli qatt ma nitbiegħed minn Alla. Ammen.
OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP PRAYER
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever
invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the
salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary, let thy name henceforth
be ever on my lips. Delay not, O Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on
thee, for, in all my needs, in all my temptations I shall never cease to call on
thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my
soul when I pronounce thy sacred name, or even only think of thee. I thank God
for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But
I will not be content with merely pronouncing thy name: let my love for thee
prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
PRAYER TO OUR MOTHER OF PERPETUAL HELP Mother of Perpetual Help your very name inspires confidence. We come before your holy picture in praise and thanksgiving to God seeking your intercession with Jesus, your Son for all the needs of our lives today. We celebrate your holy motherhood as we proclaim Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer.
You answered when called to be the mother of our Lord. Obtain for us the grace to be alive to our baptismal call and especially to embrace the gospel of life and to respect all life on earth.
You wondered as your Son grew in wisdom, knowledge and grace. Intercede for us so that we may welcome the Word of God in our lives and be bearers of the good news to one and all.
You delighted as your Son healed the sick. Intercede for our sick that they may receive good health and that they in their turn may be healers to others.
You enjoyed peace as your Son comforted the afflicted. Intercede for all who suffer so that they may know that we carry their burdens with them and in this way we keep the law of Christ.
You rejoiced when your Son forgave sins. Obtain for us the forgiveness of our sins and lead us to unbind others and set them free.
You suffered at the wounds your Son endured for our salvation. Help us to bind up the broken hearted and to give hope to the downtrodden.
You exulted in your Sons resurrection. Obtain for us the grace to persevere in His way all the days of our life and be granted a place in heaven.
You are the first among all the disciples and saints. We trust in your motherly love and care. Obtain for us all the graces we need to fulfill Gods plan each day in our lives.
MEMORARE Remember, O Most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us.
