Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Even though you have success, material comforts, and a good life according to worldly standards, you may ask why you are unsettled and lacking true joy. St. Augustine offers the answer: “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
BREAKING
A George Soros-backed law firm is threatening @LiveAction, demanding we retract statements where abortion is described as “killing” preborn children.
Our answer is No.
Threats will not stop us from calling abortion what it is or from fighting for the right of every child to live.
We will not be pressured into using language that hides what abortion does or makes the killing of a preborn child easier to accept.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.
Amen.
- Saint Teresa of Avila
Let’s pray together:
I confess to almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.
When Jesus summoned the Twelve, he called them by name. He does the same with you for you are his beloved. So, when you speak to the Lord in prayer, do not think of yourself as a stranger. Be assured that Jesus knows you in an intimate way and calls you by name!
New Year Prayer
Heavenly Father,
As we step into this New Year 2026, we thank You for bringing us safely through the past year. Thank You for Your protection, Your mercy, and Your love that never failed us, even in difficult times.
Lord, we place this new year into Your hands. Please guide our steps, order our thoughts, and guard our hearts. Fill our lives with peace where there is fear, strength where there is weakness, and hope where there is uncertainty. Help us to walk in wisdom and truth each day.
Bless our families, our work, and our health. Remove anxiety, sickness, and confusion from our lives. Renew our minds, strengthen our bodies, and uplift our spirits. Teach us to trust You completely and not be afraid of the future.
May this year be filled with Your grace, favor, and purpose. Help us to love others, forgive quickly, and live with gratitude. Let Your light shine through us in everything we do.
We commit the year 2026 to You, Lord. May Your will be done in our lives, and may we grow closer to You with each passing day.
In Your holy name we pray,
Amen.

MY PRAYER FOR THIS NEW YEAR
Be with me Lord.
Be the patience when frustrated.
Be the guide when I’m lost.
Be the hope when I want to give up.
Be the wisdom when I’m uncertain.
Be my strength when I’m weak.
Be my peace when I’m anxious.
Be my joy when I’m devastated.
Be my love when I’m broken.
Be my companion when I am alone.
Be with me all the time Lord.
May the Lord be with you always.
Happy New Year 2026

Let us pray that praying with the word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.
February: For children with incurable diseases
Let us pray that children suffering from incurable diseases and their families receive the necessary medical care and support, never losing strength and hope.
