Prayer Font of Hope

Prayer is the basis of Hope! Turning to my Catholic faith through the Blessed Mother,devotions and novenas, the communion of Saints,the Bible, Eucharistic Adoration, the Sacraments with the Eucharist as the summit of Catholicism helps me to focus on the promise of Heaven as I go through the joys but especially the trials and tribulations of life. Being Ill is not a punishment or our fault. God  can use it for His glory. By God's power we are made strong from our weakness. God can use our sufferings for His glory. My prayer life  guides everything I do and sustains my faith with  courage, perseverance and most importantly,with  HOPE. My personal relationship with Christ is an ongoing journey that continues to grow especially through the greatest prayer of all...the blessed sacrifice of the mass.  The everlasting love that God has for me and for all of humanity is what sustains me and gives me inexhaustible hope.The Blessed Mother is my intercessor to Jesus through the praying of the rosary daily.  So, the theological virtue of Hope which inspires my every thought and deed springs forth first and foremost from God through unceasing prayer.

 1 Thessalonians 5:17, St. Paul “Pray without ceasing”.  

O Jesus,

through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

I offer You my prayers, works,

joys and sufferings

of this day for all the intentions

of Your Sacred Heart,

in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

throughout the world,

in thanksgiving for your favors,

in reparation for my sins,

for the intentions of all my relatives and friends,

and in particular

for the intentions of the Holy Father. Amen.
