Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. |

A PRAYER FOR PEACE BY POPE FRANCIS
Lord God of peace, hear our prayer!
We have tried so many times and over so many years
to resolve our conflicts by our own powers and by the force of our arms.
How many moments of hostility and darkness have we experienced?
how much blood has been shed?
how many lives have been shattered?
how many hopes have been buried?
But our efforts have been in vain.
Now, Lord, come to our aid!
Grant us peace, teach us peace;
guide our steps in the way of peace.
Open our eyes and our hearts,
and give us the courage to say: "Never again war!"; "With war everything is lost".
Instill in our hearts the courage to take concrete steps to achieve peace.
Lord, God of Abraham, God of the Prophets, God of Love,
you created us and you call us to live as brothers and sisters.
Give us the strength daily to be instruments of peace;
enable us to see everyone who crosses our path as our brother or sister.
Make us sensitive to the plea of our citizens
who entreat us to turn our weapons of war into implements of peace,
our trepidation into confident trust,
and our quarreling into forgiveness.
Keep alive within us the flame of hope,
so that with patience and perseverance
we may opt for dialogue and reconciliation.
In this way may peace triumph at last,
and may the words "division," "hatred," and "war"
be banished from the heart of every man and woman.
Lord, defuse the violence of our tongues and our hands.
Renew our hearts and minds,
so that the word which always brings us together will be "brother,"
and our way of life will always be that of: Shalom, Peace, Salaam!
Amen.

REJOICE! March 19th & March 26th

In the midst of our Lenten pilgrimage, the church takes a day to enjoin us to REJOICE. Rejoice! In the midst of pain; rejoice. In the midst of loss; rejoice. In the midst of suffering; rejoice. In the midst of uncertainty; rejoice. In the midst of betrayal; rejoice. In the midst of anger; rejoice. In the midst of failure; rejoice. In the midst of temptation; rejoice. In the jaws of death; REJOICE. Like Jesus stopping the funeral procession of the Widow of Nain’s only son (Lk 7), how dare He interrupt our grief to tell us that we should weep no more? Who would be so bold? But Jesus knows of what He speaks because the human condition is not a mere hypothetical to him. From the Garden, from the Pillar, from the Via, from the Cross, and finally from the Tomb itself, the Son proclaims the victory of His Father’s love over darkness and sin, over despair and annihilation.
We rejoice in the midst of Lent because we know our Redeemer lives, and, with daring we try to echo his song of praise from the middle of our own Ways of the Cross. It is not a gritting of teeth for a while because we know that after the temporary sting we will get our lollipop . It is instead the faith to believe that Jesus entered into the depths of our suffering and transformed the nature of the suffering itself. As Bl. Moreau said so often, the Cross itself has become our hope. If we suffer with him, he shares his strength and peace with us, and if we follow him, he shares his Victory with us. This is Good News, and so we rejoice.
