Novena of Maria Bambina 2022

St. Bartolomea Capitanio & St. Vincenza Gerosa, Saints Together
Bartolomea thought out the plan, Vincenza did the building; one sowed the seed and sent down the roots, the other watered and tended the plant. In them there was realized what a spiritual writer has said: “In his designs of loving-kindness, God deals with us in such a way that each one of us is in need of another, and we find in others what we see lack-ing in ourselves. In that way we remain humble, we grow kinder, we make unity more clearly manifest”

PASSION WEEK 2022:
Lord grant us the grace to dwell on your living Word, so as to “see, experience and know” the depth of your love for us.
Help us Lord to walk with you to Jerusalem, to stand at the foot of the Cross because only there and nowhere else can we know that love which died for us that we may have life and life in abundance.
“Watch and Pray” (Mt 26:41)
The time that we shall dedicate to the Eucharistic adoration is our “entry” into the prayer of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.
