Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom 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 who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen

Greetings MariaChristi,

I shall pray this intention everyday by God’s grace.

I shall pray for the other two who have yet to go to Confession. I am glad to hear you guys are going to do this for Lent.

I think this program should be adopted by every parish.

God Bless.

Dear Friend,

Thank you and all those who continue to pray on this thread. Yes, I agree with you that a similar program for “Returning Catholics” needs to be in every parish. We asked our Pastor if it could be an ongoing program throughout the year, but he decided that twice a year would be better. We chose times before Advent and Lent as times when most persons who are currently not practicing their faith might be thinking about returning.

Thank you especially for praying for the two in our group of 7 who may still need the sacrament of Confession; and please continue to pray for the countless numbers we are unaware of who need to come “home”. Thanks.

Dear gncsmith,

Thanks so much for offering prayers for our “Returning Catholics”. We have only 2 sessions left in our current series: tonight and next Tuesday evening and both nights are dedicated to better understanding the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Please keep those prayers coming! 🙂

Dear Friend,

Again, I thank you so much for your faithful prayers. I was blessed in reading today’s Gospel Reading for Mass:
Matthew 18: 12 – 14

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

It blessed me both in regard to our Returning Catholics series, as well as our final week of preparation for Consecration to Jesus through Mary. If we are to grow closer to Jesus and Mary, it seems to me, that like them our hearts must long to gather all God’s children “home”.

Greetings MariaChristi,

Brings a whole new meaning to Jesus’ words on the Cross of “I Thrist.”

God Bless.

Dear Friend,

Yes, I believe we can hear the Heart of Jesus "thirsting " for souls, desiring their love in return for His. Jesus willingly and lovingly embraced death on the Cross for all. Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta was prfoundly influenced by those words of Jesus so that on the wall in her convents, next to the Tabernacle those words are written to remind all her Missionaries of Charity of Christ’s Words: “I thirst”.

Thanks again for your prayers. Of the two who were absent last week, one returned last night and the other told me that since she has not been well enough to attend this series, she will look forward to attending the next series in February. The Lord surprised us with two new persons coming last night for the first time. Two young men and one of them has enlisted in the Army, leaving for duty in 18 days. Please keep those prayers coming!
Thanks so much.

As someone who has recently returned to the Church, yesterday’s Gospel as well as the reflection on the Catholic One app gave me goose bumps. God can rest as i’ve returned and sent an e-mail to my Priest last night letting him know that.
