Holy Saturday - 2022

The grieving Mother stood weeping beside the cross where her Son was hanging
The Mother stood grieving beside the cross weeping while on it hung her Son
The sorrowful Mother stood full of tears by the Cross while her Son was hanging thereThe grieving Mother stood weeping beside the cross where her Son was hanging

The Mother stood grieving beside the cross weeping while on it hung her Son
The sorrowful Mother stood full of tears by the Cross while her Son was hanging there
The mother of sorrows stood in tears beside the cross on which her Son was hanging
Weeping stood the Mother of Sorrows next the Cross, the while her Son hung there
The Mother stood sorrowing by the cross weeping while her Son hung there
The sorrowful Mother stood weeping before the cross where hung her Son
At the cross her station keeping, stood the mournful mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last.

A new commandment I give unto you,

that you love one another as I have loved you.

By this shall all know that you are my disciples,

if you have love one for another.

 

 

Holy Week

Happy Holy Week, friends. 

Let us prepare ourselves for the largest event in human history, 

but also our hearts for the greatest act of salvation known to man.

Peace for Ukraine

O great and almighty Lord,

Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Bless her with the freedom and light
Of your holy rays.
With learning and knowledge
enlighten us, your children small,
in love pure and everlasting

O Lord, let us grow.

We pray, O Lord Almighty,
Protect our beloved Ukraine,
Grant our people and our country
All your kindness and grace.

Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom,
Guide into a kind world,
Bless us, oh Lord, with good fortune
For ever and evermore.

Lenten forgiveness

“What Our Lord did say on the cross was to forgive. Forgive your Pilates, who are too week to defend your justice; forgive your Herods, who are too sensual to perceive your spirituality; forgive your Judases, who think worth is to be measured in terms of silver.”

-Bishop Fulton Sheen

Lenten hope

“Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you.”
