“Of Growing Old and Dying Young” 1st Sunday of Advent

I have been always envious of Peter Pan; have always wanted to be like him - never growing old, always free from the worries and cares of the world. And the best part is - to always be living by the day in pure wonder in Neverland. Wishful thinking, I know. We don't...

Human beings are the most valuable creation that the Lord made. Every human is equipped with all the necessary abilities to improve the world and be people of greatness and success.

Liturgy of the Hours (iBreviary)

THE JUBILEE PRAYER

           

Father in heaven,

May the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.

To you, our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise forever. Amen.
