For parishes
We pray that parishes, placing communion at the center, may increasingly become communities of faith, fraternity and welcome towards those most in need. Para parroquias Oramos para que las parroquias, poniendo la comunión en el centro, se conviertan cada vez más en comunidades de fe, fraternidad y acogida hacia los más necesitados. Reflection:
My merciful and passionate Lord, You command me, in love, to come forth from all sin. And when I respond, You command that the effects of my past sins be removed. Please free me, dear Lord, from all that binds me so that I will be set firmly on the glorious road of virtue that leads to eternal joy. Jesus, I trust in You. Reflexión Mi Señor misericordioso y apasionado, Tú me mandas, en amor, salir de todo pecado. Y cuando respondo, mandas que se quiten los efectos de mis pecados pasados. Por favor, líbrame, amado Señor, de todo lo que me ata para que pueda estar firme en el camino glorioso de la virtud que conduce al gozo eterno. Jesús, en Ti confío. March 26 – April 2, 2023

Today in Ordinary Time...
Liturgy of the Hours-"Praying the Breviary""Seven times a day I praise you, because your judgments are righteous." PS 119:164“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours. In this way the Church fulfills the Lord’s precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world.”
