I refer to Ash Wednesday as a Holy Day of INVITATION. An invitation is given from the Holy Spirit, acting through the Church, the Body of Christ, inviting us into forty days of prayer, repentance, fasting, interior house cleaning, conversion and charity. It is a time to begin anew, in the Lord.
Prayer
Praying Our Friends to Heaven
Praying our friends to heaven is a good way to spend our November, and it might result in a throng of people who will thank us.
Our Lady of the Rosary
By entering into the Christian school of prayer directed by Mary and promoted by the gift of the Rosary, every Christian is enabled to better know Jesus Christ, the only Son of the sweet Virgin Mother of God.
Saint Monica and The Gift of Prayer
St. Monica: “Son, as far as I am concerned, nothing in this life now gives me any pleasure. I do not know why I am still here, since I have no further hopes in this world.”
Listening to God’s Delicate Voice
Listening to God’s voice requires me to invite Him along in all the small tasks of my day. After all, He doesn’t go where He isn’t wanted.
