of the Power of Prayer
This project is placed under the patronage
of the Blessed Mother.

The stories need to provide answers to these questions.
1. How did you pray? What kind of prayer?
The rosary, scripture or just heart to heart conversation with God?
2.. How committed were you to praying?
Maybe you didn't pray all that much... that's okay.. tell us that ...
but if you prayed a lot - spell it out.
Help us to really get into how much heart and soul went into your prayer.
3. What effect did the answer to your prayer
have on your future relationship to God and prayer?

Quote from Francisco Suarez
If all the devils should be *arrainged
against me
before the judgement
seat of God;
If the whole of hell
should rise
up against me
and open up its jaws
to devour me;
If all the saints
should desert me;
If thou, O Mary,
wouldst only speak
one word
of intercession
I should be saved.
* arrainged: (1) bring to court to answer charges (2) accuse

Rejoice in Me
by Msgr. David E. Rosage
Let Us Praise the Lord
Psalm 129:3-4 The Lord is Majestic
The voice of the Lord is over the waters,
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over vast waters.
The voice of the Lord is mighty;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
Imagine yourself standing on a beach and listening to the thunderous dashing of the waves against the rocks, which reveals the might of God's power. The expansiveness of the "vast waters" reminds us of the immensity of God. The rhythm of the waves creates a spectacular scene of God's majesty. When Jesus showed his almighty power in calming the sea, Mark tells us: "A great awe overcame them at this. They kept saying to one another, 'Who can this be that the wind and the sea obey him?' " (Mk 4:41)

Daily Readings

Jan 9 Wed: Christmas Weekday
From today's readings:
“Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.... Lord, every nation on earth will adore You.... Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid! ”
Living Love
The entire Bible recounts how God has manifested His love to our world. The entire Bible also insists, often implicitly but at times also explicitly (such as in the first reading), that the logical consequence to God’s love is the reasonable expectation that we, the recipients of God’s love, must love one another.
Both insights are essential. For, when we fail to reflect on the perfection and immensity of God’s love, it becomes all too easy to be complacent about that innate selfishness in fallen human nature that corrodes and curtails the instinct to love others for the love of God. And when we fail to concretely extend the love of God to others, we effectively profess merely a static, stunted faith, unanimated by the transforming nature of divine love.
Every page of the Bible can thus be read very appropriately and profitably simply by considering how it answers the reciprocal questions “What does this reveal about God’s love?” and “What does this imply for my love for others?”
