Prayer To Our Lady Of Coromoto

Prayer To Our Lady Of Coromoto

English:

Beautiful Lady Mary, Virgin Mother of the Redeemer, with you we praise and glorify the Father in the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. We beseech you that, just as in Coromoto you guided the steps of the Indians towards the baptismal grace, you may now capture the heart of the Venezuelans, and bring them to the renewal of their faith.

Virgin of Coromoto, patron of Venezuela, bless the evangelistic action of the Church in our Country so that she might be a fortress and defend the faith of your children, and begin a renewal of the Christian customs.

Amen

Spanish:

Bella Señora Maria, Virgen Madre del Redentor, contigo alabamos y glorificamos al Padre, en el Espíritu Santo por Jesucristo. Te suplicamos que, así como en Coromomto guiaste los pasos de los indios hacia la gracia bautismal, cautives ahora el corazón de los venezolanos y los conduzcas a la renovación de la fe.
Virgen de Coromoto, patrona de Venezuela, bendice la acción evangelizadora de la Iglesia en nùestra Patria para que sea fortaleza y defensa de la fe de tus hijos y comienzo de una renovación de las costumbres cristianas.

Amen

Waiting for Your Healing

For Sara & those who suffer

The nights become so long, Father,

as I await your gift of healing.

No matter the form in which it takes,

I accept it as from Your divine heart.

I suppose the most difficult part of this task

is waiting, Father.

I am broken, and need You to mend my physical state.

Help me have purpose while I wait;

to fill the long hours with long prayer

that I otherwise would have neglected,

if health had been mine.

Let me use this time as a tool, Father,

as I offer up what You have asked of me.

Let me recognize that You consider me capable of accepting this

as well as growing with it,

or You would never have brought it into my life.

Let me be quiet and still;

aware of the sounds of day and night,

all filled with Your life.

For the time being, I must observe life;

for tomorrow, I shall live the lessons

I have learned this day, and in this painful night.

Amen

Peace of Christ to ALL

The Gospel of Luke

Chapter 2

"In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us." So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them."

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Peace of Christ.
