Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Like the “seeking to empty ourselves of the spirit of the world” in our first 12 days, we can see that this week of “seeking true knowledge of self” is also the work of a lifetime! Nevertheless, I know that I want to run and finish the race well, for there is an eternal prize that awaits us. We persevere because of His Grace, though it may be painful at times. We remember the words of Jesus:
Litany of the Holy Spirit - HERE
Ave Maris Stella - HERE
Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary - HERE

Please let us pray for one another, for the Church and for all those in most need of God’s Mercy.Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct. (Mt. 16:24-27)
