The first recorded casualty on the morning of 9/11 was Roman Catholic Priest and NYFD Chaplain Father Mychal Judge. He was witnessed calling upon the Holy Spirit and absolving people as they fell to their death. #Neverforget
I don’t drive when I pray, but I always pray when I drive.
I don’t wash dishes when I pray, but I always pray when I do dishes.
I don’t walk when I pray, but I pray when I walk.

@KatiePMcGrady@euchrevival_ Have had many experiences like this (seeing and helping the hungry/homeless) Sometimes My adult mind takes over due to a busy schedule. You’ve inspired me to take a minute next time—and shout, “Hi, Jesus!” (Thank you, Jesus)
On Oct. 1, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a deeply disturbing mystical experience at Mass. He had just finished celebrating in his private chapel when he suddenly stood transfixed in front of the altar. For perhaps 10 minutes he stood there as if in a trance, his face drained of color. Then he went to his office and composed a prayer to St. Michael. He told his staff the prayer should be offered throughout the Church.
He explained that he had heard two voices in the vicinity of the tabernacle. He believed they were the voices of Our Lord and of Satan. Pope Leo heard Satan boast that he could destroy the Church in 75 or 100 years, if given the opportunity. Then he heard Our Lord give Satan permission to try.
The prayer which Pope Leo XIII composed was 10 times the length of the version we use today. Use of the prayer was discontinued in 1964. Thirty years later, in his Regina Coeli address, Pope John Paul II revived use of the prayer. He said, “Although the prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask every one not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against the forces of darkness and against the spirit of the world.” The pope clearly intended that we should offer this prayer in our homes as well.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Faith is a vital gift given to each of us. What we make of this gift is up to each of us. But it will be only in responding to this gift that we will see its full effects. Only by giving it away will it grow in us.
I have been praying this more lately. It helps in difficult times.
“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.”
St. Teresa of Avila
