As we approach the Holy Week, let us focus on prayer, works of mercy and fasting. This period of quarantine amid the Corona virus pandemic is a good time to reflect about our relationship with God, how this can be renewed and strengthened.

Furthermore, we should continually ask God in prayer and the intercession of the saints to end this pandemic that resulted in suffering and death of our brothers and sisters around the world.

Most High, Glorious God,
bring light to the darkness of my heart,
give me right faith, certain hope, and perfect charity.

As a Catholic, I am a member of Thy Kingdom, and Thou Art my King.To Thee I owe loyalty, obedience and love.Help me to carry out these most sacred duties towards Thee.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

Prayer for John Michael's Birthday

Heavenly Father,

I want to thank you for the life of my son John Michael on his 17th birthday.

Please bless him and keep him all of his days. My prayer for his birthday is that he would follow you, thirst after Your word, long for Your presence, tell of Your good works, and be Your servant all the days of his life.

I ask for protection from the enemy and anyone with ungodly influences; that John Michael would have good judgment and a desire to do Your will. Please place John Michael in the palm of Your hand, under Your watchful eye. Draw him to seek Your direction and guidance in all that he does. Lord, I boldly ask for a spiritual, mental, physical, emotional and financial blessing over John Michael's life. Anoint him with your Spirit of mercy and compassion, in the name of Jesus, the Christ.

Amen.

17 !

Happy 17th Birthday John Michael !

We love you !!!

Grant that these ashes may be for us a sign of our penitence, and a symbol of our mortality.

Amen
