Dear Prayer
Partner,
Our fondest greetings for a most holy
and blessed Christmas for you and all your loved ones.
Christmas is an especially good time
to pray for unity in our families, our communities, and among
Christians. We sisters
pray every day a prayer for that intention. Perhaps
you would like to join us in saying that prayer when you have the
time. See a copy of the
prayer below.
Gratefully,
Sister Julia Kubista

Merry Christmas
Please pray:
1) In great thanksgiving for the
glorious Mass of perpetual profession of vows of Sister Catherine
Marie of the crucified Lord of Love celebrated on November 21 by the
Most Reverend Robert W. Finn, D.D., and the receiving of the habit
and reception into the novitiate of Sister Faustina Marie (Erica
Goedken).
2) Throughout
Advent and the Christmas season for all people who are sick,
suffering from poverty, jobless, alone, or homebound.
3) For
all children who don’t know the love of Christ, and for all those
people who have not heard or have not accepted Christ’s coming among
us.
4) For
all those people in the world that are being introduced to the
knowledge of Christ, that they be given the gift of faith and the
graces necessary to be His strong, holy, and faithful disciples.
Prayer for Christian Unity
O most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of
mercy, adorned with miracles, whose icon shed tears at the place of
your mercy in Mariapoch, we who honor you, humbly beseech your
motherly care. Save our
country from all its enemies; protect the Church; and join all in
one faith that, at last, the words of Christ may be fulfilled: "There
shall be one fold and one shepherd." Do
not deny us your intercession; and obtain for us peaceful times,
health for our bodies and peace for our souls. Obtain
the grace for us that our last hour finds us in the Catholic faith
and in a state of grace so that we be enabled to gain eternal
salvation. Amen

Prayer to the Divine Heart of Jesus
Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today anew and without
reserve to Your Divine Heart. I consecrate to You my body with all
its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being. I
consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my
sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. In
particular, I consecrate to You my heart so that it may love You and
may be consumed in the fire of Your love.
I place all my trust in You without reserve and I hope for the
remission of my sins through Your infinite mercy. I place within
Your hands all my cares and anxieties. I promise to love You and to
honor You till the last moment of my life, and to spread, as much as
I can, devotion to Your most Sacred Heart. Do with me what You will,
my Jesus. I desire no other reward except Your greater glory and
Your holy love.
Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your Divine
Heart forever. Amen.
