Today is Australia Day and I ask your prayers for us and especially that as a rich country we will learn to share of our riches with great generosity and concern with those who have not. That we will be a country and a people that strive for the highest ideals always.
I pray too today as a citizen of our country at peace for all those places in our world torn by troubles through either natural disasters or war…for those who are homeless and starving.

Hail Mary full of Grace
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among all women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
please pray for us sinners now and at the hour
of our death
Amen

Going to Mass this afternoon - which will be offered in thanksgiving and prayer for this beautiful country, as well as for your intentions.

Happy Australia Day!
 
Happy to pray for Australia, a country I love even though I’ve never been there! 🙂

From the Liturgy of the Hours for Saturday, January 26:

Prayers and Intercessions

Christ has taken pity on his hungry people and has worked wonders of love for them. In gratitude and devotion we pray to him:
  • Lord, show us your love.
    Lord, we acknowledge that all the good things that came to us today came to us from your kindness.
    May that kindness not be wasted on us: may it bear fruit in our hearts.
    Light and salvation of all peoples, watch over those whom you have sent all over the world to bear witness to you:
    kindle the fire of your Spirit within them.
    Make everyone work together to make the world a more perfect place:
    guide them to respond to the most urgent needs of our time.
    Doctor and healer of both body and soul, soothe the sick and be close to the dying:
    in your compassion come to us also, and restore our strength.
    Deign to add those who have died to the number of your saints,
    whose names are written in the book of life.
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those that trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Almighty and ever-living God, guide our actions and make them pleasing to you,
so that in the name of your beloved Son
we may overflow with good works.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.
 
Praying for our good friends, the Australians. May God bless your country with peace and goodwill!
 
God bless you my friends!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
