It's the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. St. Anthony is the patron saint for lost articles and has been credited with many miracles involving lost people, lost things and lost spiritual goods.
Are you searching for something?
May St Anthony intercede for your needs and losses🙏🏽
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother full of love and mercy, we entrust ourselves to your maternal care. Teach us to love Jesus with all our hearts, to trust God in every season, and to say “yes” to His will as you did.
Comfort the sorrowful, strengthen the weak, protect our families, and guide us safely on the path to holiness. May your Immaculate Heart be our refuge and our way to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. Amen.
"God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16). This is the heart of the Gospel, the heart of Christ. Whoever immerses themselves in it no longer lives for themselves. I give thanks for the abundant witnesses of faith and charity I have experienced on this #ApostolicJourney to #Spain.
Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Mary shows us how to listen to the words the Holy Spirit speaks to us in the depths of our hearts, and how to respond in faith.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us🙏🏽
Prayer to St. Anthony to Recover Lost Things
O blessed St. Anthony,
the grace of God has made you a powerful advocate
in all our needs and the patron
for the restoring of things lost or stolen.
I turn to you today with childlike love and deep confidence.
You have helped countless children of God
to find the things they have lost,
material things, and, more importantly,
the things of the spirit: faith, hope, and love.
I come to you with confidence;
help me in my present need.
I recommend what I have lost to your care,
in the hope that God will restore it to me,
if it is His holy Will.
Amen.
Today, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus - the Heart that loves without measure, forgives without tiring, and remains open even after being wounded.
In a world filled with hatred, indifference, and brokenness, the Sacred Heart reminds us that divine love still flows for humanity.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us❤️🙏🏽
Mary, Mother of the Holy Family, intercede for our families and relationships. Heal divisions, strengthen bonds of love, and restore understanding where there is conflict. May every home become a place of faith, forgiveness, and peace. Amen🙏🏽
• St. Padre Pio says;
"If certain thoughts bother you, it is the devil who causes you to worry, and not God~ Who, being the spirit of peace, grants you tranquility."
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DIVINE HOURS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
In the Catholic Church, the Divine Hours (also called the Liturgy of the Hours or the Divine Office) are the official daily prayers of the Church that sanctify the different hours of the day with psalms, readings, hymns, and prayers.
Priests and religious are 'obliged' to pray them (especially the major hours), while many lay faithful also participate.
The hours include:
1. Office of Readings: It is traditionally prayed during the night or early morning. It contains longer Scripture readings and writings from the Church Fathers or saints. It focuses on meditation and spiritual reflection.
2. Morning Prayer (Lauds): It is prayed at dawn or in the morning. One of the two “hinge hours” of the Divine Office and dedicated to praising God at the beginning of the day.
3. Daytime Prayer:
They are divided into three smaller Hours:
Terce - around 9 a.m.
Sext - around 12 noon
None - around 3 p.m.
They sanctify the working hours of the day.
4. Evening Prayer (Vespers): It is prayed in the evening around sunset. It is another major “hinge hour” in addition to the Office of the Readings and Lauds. It is usually a prayer of thanksgiving for the day.
5. Night Prayer (Compline): It is the final prayer before sleep and it focuses on examination of conscience, trust in God, and peaceful rest.
The roots of these Hours go back to Jewish prayer traditions and the practice of the early Christians, who prayed at fixed times of the day (cf. Psalm 119:164; Acts 3:1), and the purpose is to consecrate time itself to God, so that the entire day becomes an offering of prayer.

I love You, Lord Jesus,
my love above all things.
I repent with my whole heart♡
for having offended You.
Never permit me to separate myself
from You again,
grant that I may love You always
and then do with me what You will!
MERCY TUESDAY
(Isaiah 43:13)
I am God; yes from eternity I am He. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?
Prayer for Mercy:
Merciful Father, on this Mercy Tuesday I come before You seeking mercy and divine assurance.
Lord, let Your mercy reassure my heart today. Remind me that You are still in control, even when I do not understand what is happening around me. What You have planned for my life will come to pass, and no obstacle is greater than Your power.
Give me peace instead of worry, confidence instead of fear, and faith instead of discouragement. Help me to rest in the assurance that I am safe in Your hands. Amen.
I trust in You, Lord, because when You act, no one can reverse it.

Instead of being on X spreading falsehood and constituting nuisance, go and read your Bible or pray the Rosary. Your soul desperately needs the attention.
The goodness of even a few people can overcome the fear of many. We must be like an open Bible for everyone. May others encounter the Word of God in our faces and lives. Love is the language that makes everyone feel at home. #ApostolicJourney
