🙏 Begin your day with the Lord! 🙏
🌅 Monday 19th February 2024

Heavenly Father, almighty and everliving God
As I bow my head in humble reverence, I come before You, acknowledging Your omnipotence and seeking Your divine guidance. Your Word teaches us that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Lord, in a world filled with allurements and enticements, I earnestly pray for the strength to stand firm against temptation. Your promise is my anchor, and I declare with faith that Your faithfulness will sustain me in the face of trials. "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

Illuminate my path, O Lord, with the light of Your truth. Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, guiding me away from the shadows of temptation. "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." (James 1:12)

Father, grant me discernment to recognize the subtle whispers of the adversary. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8) I place my trust in You, seeking refuge from the schemes of the enemy.

In moments of weakness, strengthen me, O Lord, for "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41) Clothe me with the full armor of God, that I may stand against the schemes of the evil one. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Let Your Holy Spirit guide my steps, that I may walk in righteousness and resist the allure of sin. "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." (Psalm 139:23-24)

I humbly surrender my weaknesses and vulnerabilities to You, Lord, knowing that Your grace is sufficient for me. "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." (1 Peter 5:10). For my family , my dreams , my desires all I ask of you , through Christ our lord .Amen

Valentine or Ash Wednesday ?

On this extraordinary confluence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday, we find ourselves at the crossroads of love and sacrifice. Valentine's Day, often misconstrued, is a celebration that goes beyond mere romantic gestures. True love, devoid of mere eroticism, thrives in acts of giving and self-sacrifice for the greater good.

Enter Ash Wednesday, marking the commencement of a 40-day journey with the Lord toward the cross of Calvary. Here, we witness the epitome of self-sacrifice and love, inspiring us to engage in charitable works propelled by a profound love for humanity.

As the ashes grace our foreheads, an indelible symbol, it beckons us to remember our roots and Christian identity. Unlike transient social media posts, this mark serves as a constant reminder—an unwavering commitment permanently etched upon our heads.

Today heralds a new season on the liturgical calendar, offering an opportunity to embrace misunderstood concepts with newfound excitement. The challenge lies in choosing the middle ground, fighting for what is right and just, ensuring that life continues with purpose beyond February 14.

In this pivotal moment, resist the temptation to exhaust your resources in a single revelry. Instead, ponder the choices before you, recalling the wisdom of Scripture: "Today, I put before you good and evil." Opt for life, for it is the only truly acceptable choice.

In our world, our dreams, and our decisions, let us stride forward with resilience, choosing a path that echoes the wisdom of choosing life. As we navigate the days beyond February 14, may our actions reflect the enduring power of love and sacrifice.

Happy valentine and happy Ashwednesday

PRAYER DURING THE DAY : PULSE AND PRAY TO GOD

Almighty God and father , In the refuge of your eternal words, I find strength: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

May I find contentment in the present moment, embracing life as it unfolds, trusting that "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1)

Guide me towards actions that align with your divine will, and may my efforts bring joy and fulfillment. Help me release worries about the future, knowing that "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself." (Matthew 6:34)

May I cultivate inner peace, recognizing that true happiness comes from within, anchored in the truth that "The joy of the Lord is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)

Grant me strength to face challenges with the courage that "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)

In your divine wisdom, lead me on a path of contentment and happiness, holding firm to your promise that "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)

Lord I have called upon you and I know you are here to answer me , now and always. Amen.🙏

Let’s share this prayer and save a soul

Mater Dei Embarks on Transformative School Project for Vulnerable Children in Selagi District, Konshisha Area

In a commendable initiative, Mater Dei has initiated a groundbreaking school project aimed at uplifting and empowering vulnerable children in the Selagi District of the Konshisha area. The primary objective of this endeavor is to provide quality education, fostering a positive impact on the lives of those often marginalized in society.

Moreover, Mater Dei's commitment to this cause reflects a broader sense of social responsibility. By investing in the education of vulnerable children, the project aims to create a ripple effect, positively impacting families and communities. Education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is a transformative force that empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to their societies.

Accompanying this project, Mater Dei emphasizes the need for community involvement, fostering partnerships with local leaders, educators, and parents. Sustainable success lies in collaboration, and Mater Dei is dedicated to creating a holistic support system that ensures the well-being and growth of the children involved.

As Mater Dei embarks on this noble journey, it invites support from individuals, organizations, and the broader community to contribute to the realization of this vision.
