Prayers
At the start of the New Year
A New Year: a renewed hope, new opportunities, new adventures, new ways to give, and love.
Jesus, what have you left undone?
Christmas is a feast of surprises where the Most High God becomes a little baby; Christmas is celebrating the unexpected of God, or better, celebrating the unexpected God, who overturns our logic and our expectations. In silence let us unite ourselves in spirit to St. Bartolomea in praying:
Towards Bethlehem, together with St. Bartolomea
The Advent season is here and it fills our hearts with a sweet hope of the coming of the Lord. It is not only about cribs and decorations but is much more. That is why the liturgy invites us to contemplate the Lord’s definitive coming by preparing ourselves to relive...
TOGETHER IN DOING GOOD
“…Yet let us not do this alone, as individuals. The Samaritan discovered an innkeeper who would care for the man; we too are called to unite as a family that is stronger than the sum of small individual members.

“GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD….”

CHRIST IS ALIVE! HE IS OUR HOPE.
Christ is alive! We need to keep reminding ourselves of this, because we can risk seeing Jesus Christ simply as a fine model from the distant past, as a memory, as someone who saved us two thousand years ago. But that would be of no use to us: it would leave us unchanged, it would not set us free. The one who fills us with his grace, the one who liberates us, transforms us, heals and consoles us is someone fully alive. (cv 124)
