Afterwords: Twenty (20) Jewels of Joy                                                          1.       When we forget about ourselves we are amazed at the freedom and joy we experience 2.       There is a need for stronger ecclesial commitment to a new evangelization in order to rediscover the joy of believing and the enthusiasm for communicating the faith 3.       Faith grows when it is lived as an experience of love received and when it is communicated as an experience of grace and joy 4.       Fear of the Lord is glory and splendor, gladness and a festive crown; fear of the Lord warms the heart, giving gladness and joy and length of days to our life 5.       We are called to live in the fear of the Lord and make steady progress in the fear of the Lord; if we do, our reward will not be lost; we will receive lasting joy and mercy 6.       We can communicate joy and love only if we possess it, only if we are possessed by it 7.       Conver

Catholic Bible Encounter: Legion of Mary Bible Study (V 19) "On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, 'Peace be with you. (v20) '  When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. (v21) (Jesus) said to them again, 'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.' (v22) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. (v23) Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."

April 11, 2014: Legion of Mary Catholic Bible Study Presented by Father Antonio O. Moreno

A Catholic encounter with the Word of God as reveled by Scripture, The Magisterium of the Catholic Church Opening Prayer Come, Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with your strength this very day that I may fulfill all the duties of my state conscientiously, that I may do what is right and just. Assist me, O Holy Spirit, in all my trails of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations and console me in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind.  Introduction: The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ Matthew 26:1-27:66 St. Matthew in his Gospel follows the general outline and content of St. Mark's Gospel and adds some material unique to his own sources, including the death of Judas, the wife of Pilate, and the guards at the tomb. Continuing his interest in the O

Our Lady of Compassion/Our Lady of Sorrows - Video Seven Sorrows Rosary

The Feast of Our Lady of Compassion Though long a part of popular piety, the feast of Our Lady under the title "Our Lady of Compassion" was not added to the Missal until 1482.  Especially promoted by the Cistercians and the Servites, it was widely celebrated throughout the Catholic Church on the Friday before Good Friday.   This date shows the especial role of Mary in the Passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.   To further focus on Mary's  intense suffering during the passion and death of Jesus, in 1913, Pope Pius X changed the title of the feast day to "Our Lady of Sorrows" and firmly set the date to September the 15th, to follow the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.   To read more, and to pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary with the beautiful video that is posted on our homepage go to  http://www.sorrowfulmother.net/ --  Little Handmaids of Our Sorrowful Mother www.sorrowfulmother.net And Mary said, "Behold I am the
