THE COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.

Mary’s Child: the Prince of Peace
Elizabeth said: ‘Blessed is she who believed that the promise made to her by the Lord would be fulfilled’. This week we celebrate the wonderful feast of Christmas. Mary is by far the best person to teach us what it is about as she was very central to the first Christmas.

The Lord of Compassion
They all complained when they saw what was happening. “He (Jesus) has gone to stay at a sinner’s house,” they said. One of the lovely features of the Gospels is that Jesus had no problem with what we would call sinners. He didn’t condone what they did but he had great compassion for them. The other side of that feature was that he had a lot of difficulty with good people. And he still has! He found it almost impossible to break through to them with the Good News of God’s unconditional love for every person because, if they were God, they would not be like that. So, as we struggle to live out our faith through the various relationships of our lives we need to be ready for failure and be gentle with ourselves. But we also need to be very gentle with one another and become a source of encouragement for one another rather than putting one another down through criticism.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
Morning Prayer, when together
God of power and mercy, only with your help
can we offer you fitting service and praise.
May we live the faith we profess
and trust your promise of eternal life.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
During the day, when apart
God of mercy, we thank you for your love.
Help us to love one another more fully
and to forgive one another more freely.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Evening/Night Prayer together
Lord, you give us new hope every day.
May the power of your love
continue its saving work among us
and bring us to the joy you promise.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
