Prayer for the peace in Ukraine
God of infinite mercy and goodness, with grateful hearts we pray to you today for Peace. You offer us your peace continually and constantly remind us that peacemakers are blessed, “for they shall be called children of God”. May your voice resound in the hearts of all, as you call us to follow the path of reconciliation and peace, and to be merciful as you are merciful. We pray to you for Ukrainian people, who are experiencing war and deaths. Bless the leaders with wisdom, to build together a world of justice, and to break down walls of hostility. May you continue to inspire all of us to oneness of heart and mind, to respect the dignity of every nation, which have their origin in the image and likeness of God impressed upon every human being Grant eternal rest to the dead and quick recovery to the wounded, we pray through Christ our Lord, Amen Oración por la paz en Ucrania Dios de infinita misericordia y bondad, con corazones agradecidos te rogamos hoy por la Paz. Nos ofreces tu paz continuamente y constantemente nos recuerdas que los que trabajan por la paz son bendecidos, "porque serán reconocidos como hijos de Dios". Que tu voz resuene en el corazón de todos, mientras nos llamas a seguir el camino de la reconciliación y la paz, y a ser misericordiosos como tu eres misericordioso. Te pedimos por el pueblo ucraniano, que está experimentando guerra y muerte. Bendice a los líderes con sabiduría, para que puedan construir juntos un mundo de justicia y derribar muros de hostilidad. Que continúes inspirándonos a todos a la unidad de corazón y de mente, para respetar la dignidad de cada nación, quienes tienen su origen en la imagen y semejanza de Dios impresa en cada ser humano. Concede descanso eterno a los muertos y una pronta recuperación a los heridos, te lo pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor, Amén!  St. Luke 9:51-62.
Ordinary Time: June 26th
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekly Reflection: I devoutly adore You, O hidden Deity, truly hidden beneath these appearances. My whole heart submits to You, and in contemplating You, it surrenders itself completely. Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in their judgment of You, but hearing suffices firmly to believe. Jesus, I trust in You. Reflexión semanal: Te adoro con devoción, oh Deidad escondida, verdaderamente escondida bajo estas apariencias. Todo mi corazón se somete a Ti y al contemplarte se entrega por completo. La vista, el tacto, el gusto, todos se engañan en su juicio sobre Ti, pero el oído basta para creer firmemente. Jesús, en Ti confío.
