PALM SUNDAY

Passion of Christ, brought to our attention
As we comprehend God’s plan of salvation
Let us in this Final week of Lent
Merit the graces, which from heaven will be sent

So as the People Hailed, crying Hosanna
Usher in Christ into our Life, as Heavenly Manna
Now don’t forsake the Lord as the people did
Deserting Him, in His hour of need
Always seek the grace by him to stand
Yearning, the more His love to understand

Meditation during the Lent

Hey Everyone,

This is a great website to help us deepen our faith and make this a great spiritual journey this Lent.

http://onlineministries.creighton.edu/CollaborativeMinistry/Lent/siteindex.html

There are brief prayers for everyday, reflections, audio conversations and even an online retreat!!!!! You can do it online, or download, burn it on a CD. The Jesuits, staff and students at Creighton have really gone all out to prepare and build this to help us all.

Hope you can use it to make this Lent a wonderful spiritual journey.

Cheers,

You're sure going to find this inspiring and I pray that you all will love this and be inspired as much as I did !

The Holy Alphabet...
A lthough things are not perfect,
B ecause of trial or pain,
Continue in thanksgiving
D on't even think to blame.
E ven when the times are hard,
F ierce winds are bound to blow,
G od is forever able
H old on to what you know.
Imagine life without His love,
J oy would cease to be,
K eep thanking Him for all the things
L ove imparts thee to see.
Move out of ' Camp Complaining ',
No weapon that is known
O n earth can yield the power
P raise can do alone.
Quit worrying about the future,
R edeem the time at hand,
S tart every day with prayer
To 'thank' is God's command.
U ntil we see Him coming,
V ictorious in the sky,
We'll run the race with gratitude,
X alting God most high.
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Z ion waits in glory...

where none are ever sad! 'I AM Too blessed to be stressed!' The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

GUARDIAN ANGELS AND THE ROLE THEY PLAY NOT JUST ON EARTH BUT IN PURGATORY

From the time of our birth, God has graced us with a faithful companion, appointed guardian and guide: our dear guardian angel. Angels are spiritual beings who are constantly in God’s Presence, singing praises to Our Creator. Angels serve as Divine messengers, bringing God’s Will and Word to all humanity. Although we are unable to see them they are there ready to protect and watch over us at God’s command. The Doctors of the Church teach that the guardianship of the holy angels over men only terminates at the souls’ entrance into Heaven. Some mystics have asserted that it extends to aid in purgatory [see the Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory]. If we heed the Church and invoke our guardian angels throughout life they will be a most potent help for us at the hour of our death strengthening us against temptation, and comforting us in our agony. They conduct our souls to judgment. We are assured the angels console us if we are in purgatory, encourage it, and render a most valuable service to the souls in purgatory by inspiring friends and relatives to offer Mass for their intentions and good works for speedy delivery. These devoted guardians -- to whom we should pray each day (asking their help in purifying here on earth) -- never cease to be concerned with the souls that God has committed to their charge. Their great mission and desire is to see us home in Heaven. They are intent on obtaining from God all the graces and favors conducive to our eternal welfare. The guardian angels pray for their clients with great love before the Throne of God and ascend to present their petitions (in our favor). They descend to bring to the souls in purgatory the favors which they obtained for them from God through the good works of the faithful on earth and, it is said, pass by our place in Heaven everyday. The guardian angels inform the souls in purgatory who their benefactors are and exhort them to pray for their benefactors. As St. Augustine said: "The departed may be informed by the angels of things happening in this world, in so far as this is permitted by Him to whose judgment everything is subject." The souls cannot pray for themselves but can and do pray and intercede for us while they are in purgatory (and then Heaven). As St. Margaret of Cortona was praying to Our Lord with tears for all the friends she had lost, they appeared to her surrounded by purifying flames and in such a lamentable condition that she could not endure the sight. Our Divine Redeemer said to Margaret: "The pains they endure are very great, but would be incomparably greater if they were not visited and consoled by My angels, the sight of whom comforts them in their sufferings and refreshes them in their purification." St. Jerome expressed: "How great the dignity of the soul, since each one has from birth an angel commissioned to guard it," added St. Jerome. Throughout your life, give alms and offer Masses for your friends, relatives and benefactors in the name of your Guardian Angel. Light a candle in honor of him! In entering Church, unite your intention with that of your angel to adore the Blessed Sacrament. It is said the one thing they are unable to do that humans can is to receive Holy Communion. Invoke your Guardian Angel at the beginning of your day and evening making an act of loving thanksgiving. Recite the Chaplet of the guardian angel. Spend some time each day in company with your angel alone. Keep the Feast of the Guardian Angels, and make your birthday a feast of your angel -- who then began his ministry. Practice some devotion to the Queen of Angels in the name of your guardian. The guardian angels are the natural intermediaries between earth and purgatory, as they are between purgatory and Heaven. What a consolation is this to those during their lives have shown devotion! How often will they be visited if they are detained in purgatory by these pure and charitable spirits.
