''When I cannot understand my Father’s leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful—Only wait''.
Chiara Lubich
“By loving Him, Christians find the reason and the strength not to escape from suffering, from evil, from division, but to accept them, thus making a personal contribution of their own.”
"That all may be one." We were born for these words, for unity, to contribute toward its fulfillment in the world.
"In life we do many things, say many things, but the voice of suffering offered out of love - which is perhaps unheard by and unknown to others - is the loudest cry that can penetrate Heaven"
"We have understood that the world needs a treatment of... the Gospel, because only the Good News can give back to the world the life it lacks.”
"The one who trusts entirely in God lets God himself act and... to him nothing is impossible. The faith that Jesus wants from his disciples is a totally trusting attitude which enables God to manifest his power. And this faith is not reserved for certain exceptional people. It is possible and dutiful for all believers."
Cardinal Carlo Maria Martin
'It is always the time of hope, confidence and love. Everything passes; love remains. We will not be disappointed.'

To recall your goodness for being born to save us.

Thank you for being amongst us.
Forgive us for our sins.

Help the broken families, to be reunited through your grace.
For all those who persecute the Church and live a life of despair, give them your peace in a mysterious way.
Lord Jesus,
Thank you for being such a lovely gift to all those who have faith.
Strengthen their faith, to continue to share your love with others.
Be with us, as we share the Good News.
Make this Christmas, a blessing for all.
A prayer…
Lord....
Before I go to sleep to night
I pray for all those who are far away from you.
I pray for all those who have still not recognized you, even though they think they did.
I pray Lord, for all those who have abandoned you.
Give all these people your grace, that they may come to you, that they have this personal relationship with you, that enriches their lives through your Love.
Amen
A Prayer… for those who are walking away from Jesus
Lord Jesus… I believe in your Salvation
You died on the cross to bring Salvation to all nations
You died for all mankind… no matter if they believe in you or not
Jesus, you love each and every person on earth
But even though you died for us
There are people who are walking away from you
Jesus, I pray for these people
That in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
They may return back to you
Jesus, open their eyes, so that they may see ‘The Light’
Help them to listen to your Word
And to nourish it in their hearts
Jesus, I thank you
For your love will surely reach out to these people
And may they be Blessed upon returning back to you.
Before I go to sleep tonight
Before I go to sleep tonight, I would like to share this short prayer with you....
Lord... thank you for my family,
Thank you for the life you gave me,
Thank you for this lovely day.
Lord... be with me tomorrow, so I continue to love my neighbour,
To be a witness of you love,
To be Jesus to others.
Lord... bless all those who are seeking your love,
who are seeking your comfort,
Bless them and give them your peace.
AMEN.
Before you go to sleep...
Before you go to sleep tonight
Join me in prayer.
I will pray for peace in the world
I will pray for those who are lonely
For those who lost the meaning of life.
Lord, through your Spirit
Give hope to the world
Give comfort to the lonely
Give light to those without a meaning of life.
Lord I pray
That through the Father
The Son and Holy Spirit
You may reign
Through your love and peace.
Amen
