St. Jerome – Pray for us! – The Kingdom of God is at hand. Is it obvious in you and me! How approachable am I? Can people feel comfortable and be themselves with me? Do I exude love and peace? Besides all my struggles to be holy can I reach out and assist others on …
Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael – Pray for us! – What does this feast say to us today? Whether we believe in angels or not I do hope that through this feast we are more in tune with the goodness of God toward his people and how divine providence cares for us. The angels always …
St. Wenceslaus – Pray for us! – O Lord, give us the grace to respond with understanding to those who disagree with us, with patience in responding to those who anger us, with forgiveness for those who have hurt us. Help us to take on your work of reconciliation and peace in all the “Samarias” …
