Let us pray the prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as we commemorate her memorial today..
+
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Heavenly beauty and splendor of the Father, You are the most valued Heavenly treasure.
New Eve, immaculate in soul, spirit and body, Created of the godly seed by the Spirit of God, You are the spiritual Mother of mankind.
Pure Virgin, full of grace then and now, Your whole being was raised Heavenly in full glory, To be elevated above all the hosts within the Kingdom of God.
O Heavenly Mother, Queen of Heaven and earth, I recognize the glory of your highest title, The Immaculate Heart of Mary!
Loving Mother, dispenser of endless blessings, You who continuously intercedes on our behalf, Please present my need before your loving Son Jesus.
(In your own words, make your special request here. Do not just mention a word. Speak to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as you would speak to another person, begging your Heavenly Mother to plea to Jesus on your behalf, that you be granted this special request.)
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, I know that you are now presenting my need before Jesus, For you have never turned away those in dire need.
Mother dearest, I await your favorable answer, Submitting myself to the Divine will of the Lord, For all glories are His forever and ever.
Amen. +

As we commmemorate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us altogether join in praying the prayer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus...

+
O most holy heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing,
I adore you, I love you, and
with lively sorrow for my sins,
I offer you this poor heart of mine.
Make me humble, patient, pure
and wholly obedient to your will.
Grant, good Jesus,
that I may live in you and for you.
Protect me in the midst of danger.
Comfort me in my afflictions.
Give me health of body,
assistance in my temporal needs,
your blessing on all that I do,
and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.+

Today, December 31, 2023, on the FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY, let us GATHER, PRAY OVER EACH OTHER, and HONOR ONE ANOTHER, then pray THE HOLY FAMILY PRAYER together.

JESUS, Son of God and Son of Mary, bless our family. Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family in the little town of Nazareth.

MARY, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love. Keep us close to your Son, Jesus, in all our sorrows and joys.

JOSEPH, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian and spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety.

HOLY FAMILY OF NAZARETH, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love, strengthened by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen.

(prayer from the Missionaries of the Holy Family)

Happy Feast of Christ the King! Viva Cristo Rey!

Christ is an awesome King because His Kingship can be encountered. He wants us to encounter Him in the people around us. In those who are well, happy, and healthy, yes. But most of all in those who are in need.

“As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me”( Mt. 25:40)

Christ the King reveals Himself through our concrete love for a neighbor in difficulty. Because the power of love, the Kingship of God is most revealed in mercy.

All hail Christ the King!
