Faith & Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

.

This month of October in the Catholic Church is dedicated to the Holy Rosary:

Let us pray: O God, whose Only Begotten Son, by his life, Death, and Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant, we beseech thee, that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pope’s intention for October:

For a shared mission
We pray that the Church continue to sustain in all ways a Synodal lifestyle, as a sign of co-responsibility, promoting the participation, the communion and the mission shared among priests, religious and lay people.

LET US REFLECT ON THE CONSITIUTION SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM TO HELP US ENTER INTO THE EUCHARIST

 

114. The treasure of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care. Choirs must be diligently promoted, especially in cathedral churches; but bishops and other pastors of souls must be at pains to ensure that, whenever the sacred action is to be celebrated with song, the whole body of the faithful may be able to contribute that active participation which is rightly theirs, as laid down in Art. 28 and 30.
115. Great importance is to be attached to the teaching and practice of music in seminaries, in the novitiates and houses of study of religious of both sexes, and also in other Catholic institutions and schools. To impart this instruction, teachers are to be carefully trained and put in charge of the teaching of sacred music.
It is desirable also to found higher institutes of sacred music whenever this can be done.
Composers and singers, especially boys, must also be given a genuine liturgical training.

PRAYER FOR THE SPREAD OF PERPETUAL ADORATION

Heavenly Father, increase our faith in the Real Presence of Your Son Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
We are obliged to adore Him, to give Him thanks and to make reparation for sins.
We need your peace in our hearts and among nations.
We need conversion from our sins and the mercy of Your forgiveness.
May we obtain this through prayer and our union with the Eucharistic Lord.
Please send down the Holy Spirit upon all peoples to give them the love, courage, strength and willingness to respond to the invitation to Eucharistic Adoration.
We beseech You to spread Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament in parishes around the world.
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen

Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament
Help us to spread the glory of Your Son through Perpetual Adoration.

Amen

Dear brothers,

In 2005 at the publication of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict wrote in his introduction “Forty years after the close of the Second Vatican Council and in the year of the Eucharist, this Compendium represents an additional resource for satisfying the hunger for truth among the Christian faithful of all ages and conditions, as well as the hunger for truth and justice among those who are without faith.” Remembering this important moment in which the Church wanted to teach us about the import truths we hold on to, we will begin our catechesis on the Eucharist taking advantage of this year on the Revival of the Eucharist, and our desire for our faithful to deepen in this eternal Sacrament Christ left us.  

The passage we are talking about gives an overview of the significance of the Eucharist in the Catholic Church, particularly in relation to the publication of the Compendium on the solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. It emphasizes the importance of truth and justice among believers and non-believers alike.  It also highlighted the missionary zeal of the apostles and encourages followers to imitate their commitment to spreading the faith. Saying that, we will publish little by little some parts of the Catechism and give a brief explanation of. I hope you can accompany us reading and meditating on the Sacraments, so that we may have an encounter with Christ and evangelize as the apostles did.
