Pray for Unity 2/13/2020






                                                          Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

 My brothers and sisters in Christ, today, Thursday, February 13, 2020, I begin this part of my journey where I will offer thoughts, reflections, prayers, and anything else I may feel relevant to the life and light of our Lord, and to our own lives as well.

 Bear with me as try to understand the techy stuff involved to make this all work. 

 I pray that this blog may help to enrich your faith life!

 In this busy and strident world where there is so much division...we call to Christ to bring us together. I begin today with a simple prayer by Basil Hume called "Prayer for Unity"...

                                                    Lord Jesus Christ
                                                  you said
                                                  may they all be one, just as, the Father,
                                                  you are in me and I am in you,
                                                 so that the world may believe
                                                 it was you who sent me.
                                                 Dear Lord, bring together in love and peace
                                                 all who believe in you. Amen.
Until next time, blessings to all!

 In His peace.

I know it's been a while  since I've posted,  but there hasn't been a whole lot to bring to you regarding  Church announcements.  And, since this is an  "Announcements" blog, I will  only post when there  is something significant to bring to you.  You can stay  up t o  date with announcements by checking the weekly Church bulletin and by going to the Mater Dei website. I enjoy bringing to you reflections, prayers and such; and even though there is only a small handful of you that have been reading  this blog, I will continue to do so.
