Monthly Reflection for January and February
Monthly Reflection for January and February
Come to Me, all you who are weary and find life burdensome,
and I will refresh you.
Mt 11: 28
Trust Him
 |
Trust Him when dark doubts assail thee;
Trust Him when thy strength is small;
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all.
Trust Him; He is ever faithful;
Trust Him for His Will is best;
Trust Him, for the Heart of Jesus
Is the only place of rest.
Trust Him, then, through doubts and sunshine;
All thy cares upon Him cast,
Till the storm of life is over
And the trusting days are past.
(Song Lyrics by Lucy A. Bennett (1850-1927)

Prayer to Our Lady of Tenderness
Below is a prayer composed by Bishop John W. Flesey to Our Lady of Tenderness. United in heart and mind, let us pray that hearts across our globe long for and embrace the gift of Christ's peace.
Dear Lady of Tenderness,
We live in an angry and violent world. War and terrorism threaten us on all sides. We respectfully turn to you, O Mother of the Compassionate One. We beg your intercession for us, your suffering sons and daughters. Because of the intimate bond you share with your Son Jesus, our Risen Lord, we know you will hear and heed our prayer for help. Ask your Savior Son to pour forth His Peace into our minds and hearts so that we might become one truly holy family united and guided by His Holy Spirit. Amen.~ Most Rev. John W. Flesey, STD, DD
