PRAYER OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO MARY
In May 2020, Pope Francis published a prayer to Our Lady for the sick. Today we can say this prayer for Pope Francis.
|
O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith. “Protectress of the Roman people”, you know our needs, and we know that you will provide, so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering, and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen. We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God; Do not despise our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from every danger, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. |

Sacraments
Baptism:
We encourage all councils to focus on the sacraments as a way of life as well as encouraging all councils to add an educational component to their spirituals. Above you will final a spiritual developed to focus on Baptism. I am suggesting that you might use it for the April meeting as that is the month generally of Easter and we renew our Baptismal promises. As you all read through the attachment you will find the first page is a handout with excerpts from the Catholic Catechism and Pope Francis which encourages all of us to read and reflect on. We all need to be encouraged to learn more about our faith through the teachings of the Church. This first instalment really forms the template for spiritual programs for the other sacraments
To the spiritual development chairs the attachment can be used as it or modified as you see fit. The italicized portions are instructions and the handout is to be given to the members to be used in the meeting but also to take home as information.
