JESUS ON THE WITNESS STAND

Reflection Question:

How truthful am I?

 

Lord, You do not only know the truth; You are also truthful. You are the Truth. In my desire to become like You, heal me from all my lies and make me more truthful than before. Let me be Your sign in the world by the kind of life I live. Amen.

 

St. Nostrianus, pray for us.

LESSONS ON COMMUNITY LIFE

Reflection Question:

How am I in my community?

 

While You call us individually and personally, Jesus, You gather us in communities. There are no perfect communities, I know, dear Lord, but despite the imperfections of our communities, let Your light shine through them and Your love reign over them. Teach and help us to love, respect and serve You in one another. Amen.

 

Blessed Archangela Girlani, pray for us.

A MEAL FOR ALL

Reflection Question:

What is my view on exclusive celebrations of the Eucharist?                

 

Lord Jesus, You invite all men and women to Your table. You offer Yourself to all. May we keep our Eucharistic celebrations authentic in their fellowship. Perform Your miracle again — this time, not on bread and fish, but in our hearts. Make our “breaking of bread” truly a breaking of ourselves for others. Amen.

 

St. Febronia, pray for us.

THE OLD VIOLIN

Reflection Question:

The hand of the Master continues to play with old dusty violins. If I cannot hear the music He’s playing, can I be deaf or playing deaf?

 

Open not only my heart, O Jesus. Open my whole life to Your Spirit and make Your Spirit dwell in me more powerfully. Use me to open closed lives and, with Your Spirit, heal their wounded hearts. Play through me Your sweet music, though I may be an old violin. Amen.

 

St. Jonas, pray for us.

THE HUGE ROCK

Reflection Question:

What do I do with the rocks in my life?

 

Lord, I surrender my whole life to You. Direct my every move and make me conquer all the “rocks” in my life. May I never be a “rock” that hinders others from having a meaningful encounter with You. But when I turn to be one, help them conquer me instead. Amen.

 

St. Trumwin, pray for us.

WHAT’S WITHIN

Reflection Question:

Am I hurt?

 

Cleanse me, O Jesus. Make me clean within and without. Humbly I come to You. Your words convict me. Have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen.

 

St. Michael Febres Cordero, pray for us.

LAUGHTER FROM DEEP WITHIN

Reflection Question:

Do I hear a laughter from deep within me?

 

Let me not play deaf, O Lord, to the laughter from deep within me. Make me recognize my hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Help me cast them away and live not only more truthfully but also always humbly. Amen.

 

St. Kigwe, pray for us.
