LORD, PRAY FOR OUR HOLY FAMILY
As we celebrate the Holy Family, we pray:
Holy Family of Nazareth,
make our family one with you.
Help us to be instruments of peace.
Grant that love, strengthened by grace,
may prove mightier than all
the weaknesses and trials through which
our families sometimes pass.
May we always have God
at the center of our hearts and homes
until we are all one family, happy
and at peace in our true home with you. Amen.

“LORD, JUST FOR YOU!”
A youngster who was very desperate in life – contemplating even of terminating his life – exasperated and lost…
… was passing along the streets, when he heard the Church bells ringing for the Angelus at noontime.
>> Something in him, made him go inside the Church.
As he went in, he saw a large statue of Jesus…
… with the Sacred Heart of Jesus prominently displayed
>> And underneath the statue were written words…
… beautiful words that would bring him much consolation, hope and joy
So much so, that he would take a resolution to amend his life and to live with greater hope and joy!
The words were as follows:
“As you look into My Heart… remember always, these words…
>> There is an Eye that never sleeps, even beneath the wing of night
… just for you!
>> There is a Ear that never shuts, even when sink the beams of light
… just for you!
>> There is an Arm that never tires, even when human strength gives way
… just for you!
>> There is a Love that never fails, even when earthly loves decay
… just for you!
>> And…
… there is a Heart that never stops beating, even when trials of life lash you hard
… just for you!
This Heart of Mine… is just for you!
Can you also give me your life…?
… and tell me, “LORD, JUST FOR YOU!”
