James remains critical. So prayers are the only thing we can do right now. The doctors at NEIGRHIMs re doing their best. As of today there is a little good news, namely, that his BP has gone up almost to normal and so the danger to the heart is avoided. But there is still a swelling of the brain due to the shock and trauma and the multiple bleeding. Now the doctors are operating on him. They will remove a part of the skull and keep it like that for some days to treat the brain from its swelling and from haemorrhages. If this intervention is successful then it is good news, but if it does not help, then other interventions will have to be done. There is a large bleeding and other small ones which need to be treated if possible by medication. As of now Fr. James in a semi-consciousness state and on artificial ventilation. We know there are many people, priests, religious and lay persons who are praying for his recovery. Thanks to each one of them and let us continue to storm heaven for this singular grace.

Lord help us to be an advocate for the refugee, for the poor and lonely, for the homeless and for those who feel that no one loves them or wants them.

Scotland Gallo My dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, I read often but post little here. However I would like to ask your prayers for the men and women of my adoptive city of Charlotte who are homeless tonight. I and a number of other people are hosting a cold weather shelter at various churches and other humanitarian organizations tonight called Room in the Inn: we provide a bed and hot food and a warm and quiet place to sleep out of the cold (which is due to drop below freezing, even here in the South). Something like 150 people will get beds for the night through this program, and other shelters will host up to maybe 300 more. This is truly a blessing! I ask your prayers both for those who will be placed and also-- perhaps especially-- for those who will have to be turned away or are not able to make it to a shelter. God's peace be with you! Pax et bonum Rogervic Mattal .......Jesus provide your shelter to the vulnerable...and give those who are helping the energy of the Holy Spirit...to complete this beautiful ministry in...Your Holy Name....... Bjorn DrakkenSchultz Oes For peace in our homes, and in our own hearts, for that is where peace in the world begins.

Magdala Casey Prayers for understanding and peace. John Allen Green We pray for peace in our family: It is only in Truth based on our relationship with Jesus the Christ that our peace and joy are to be found. “I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid.” Jesus also clearly warned us about basing our peace and joy on relationships with others, even family. The crowd that was sitting around Jesus told him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside and want to see you." Jesus asked, "Who is my mother and who are my brothers?" Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who obeys God is my brother or sister or mother." (Mk 3:32-35) I understand that this is a particularly hard injunction from Jesus for those who are spouses, parents and grandparents. It was my dear friend and mentor, the Jesuit father Ivan who advised me that when there is any discord and upheaval around you, to go back to the center and find your foundation on which you build your life and out of which you find your “being”. For me this is Jesus the Christ within, the Way, the Truth and the Life, and all my endeavors, work and efforts are based on striving to be a disciple and priest of the Christ in the footsteps of St Francis of Assisi whose way of life was the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Based on this gospel we are first to judge ourselves so that from basis of truth we may “go out into the whole world and preach the gospel” and then admonish sinners to “repent and believe in the good news.” This foundation of my life can be particularly problematic and irritating for the inner circle of “blood family”, who find my way “preachy” or in conflict with their own lives. It was even so for St Francis of Assisi himself. I am truly grateful to you, Kenneth, Susan and Alta who have supported me in every way during my sickness and infirmity. The only way I can ever repay this is through my daily prayers and petitions in the offering of the Holy Mass for your intentions and the intentions of your families. Forgive me for quoting from my last homily to accuse ourselves first by which we seek the “untangling of knots”, forgiveness and mercy of a loving God and then for the forgiveness any that we may have harmed: This is the call to true repentance; a complete turn away from all self-righteousness that hides my anger, my pride and my arrogance with which I compare my honesty to their corruption, my gratitude to their selfishness, and my courage against their incompetence. Forgive me my sins, O Lord, forgive me my sins; the sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul, the sins I know, the sins I do not know; the sins I have concealed for so long, and which are now hidden from my memory. I am truly sorry for every sin, mortal and venial, for all the sins of my childhood up to the present hour. I know my sins have wounded your Sacred Heart, the sins of my body; my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins; the sins of my vindictive indifference. O my Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through your most bitter Passion, my Redeemer. Amen. Know that I wish you all every peace and good that you could desire for yourselves and ask your forgiveness for any stress, harm or bitterness that I may have caused you. I love you all and pray daily the apostolic blessing upon your lives. John Allen, the little Franciscan brother and penitent hermit. Peter Dion Thanks and Praises to God You blessings my OFH Brothers and Sisters. Bless that OFH will be added more new Brothers and Sisters.

Amen Joy Marzynski 💕🙏 continued prayer for sanctity, growth in holiness, humility, gentleness, meekness, forgiveness of others, spiritual Joy, and above all charity, and deepening of spirituality and our relationship with Jesus for all of us. Today, we celebrate two memorials, firstly, the beatified Franciscan Blessed Bernard of Corleone, who, though beginning his life as a quarrelsome and violent youth, converted, devoting his life to God as a Capuchin monk who strove to become like Christ Crucified through heroic love and penance. We also commemorate the memorial of the Canadian Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys, who suffered through many heartbreaking disappointments in her attempts to become a contemplative nun, eventually learning that "when God closes the door, He opens a window. She was sent to what is present day Montreal to open a school at a mission, and then from there, in her 70s, walked to Quebec to open another one there. It wasn't until 2 years before her death that she and her fellow sisters were recognized as a religious congregation. Even when we believe that we have the purest of intentions, God may have other plans for us. As our Blessed Mother, we must humbly submit, praying our fiat with our entire being, trusting in God's Providence. I learned this the hard way, as most lessons in life are learned, seeking Religious life for years, experiencing many tears and heartbreaks before surrendering to His Plans for me as a consecrated church hermit. Even after praying my fiat, it took time to realize exactly what He was asking of me. I am grateful for the gift of my vocation, and repent for those times I am negligent or stubbornly resisted my calling. I repent for those times that the pain of my illness has me crying out rather than joyfully thanking God for that blessing. Fiat, my Spouse! Francisco Ugorji Jr. Lord I Pray for ur Favours and Mercies and Protection Upon My Family Everyday, Amen!

We are sorry for our sins and pray that we may be made worthy of your promises. Thank You Lord, We Love You. |
