We thank you Almighty Father for the gift of life, for your Goodness and Mercy, 
For the unconditional love, you have for each one of us. 

You are with us always, in our joys and in our sorrows and you will never abandon us. 
To your little ones who with a sad and heavy heart feel lost and alone, depressed, suffering from addictions and mental illness, we ask you to send earthly angels to help ease their burdens and to give them the Hope they seek and for which they so desperately need

We pray for our doctors and all health care workers that they never forget that they are chosen by You, Almighty God to be ministers of Your healing Power and that they always choose life for the men, women and children: the souls entrusted to them by You Heavenly Father.

We pray for our politicians and lawmakers that they humble themselves before You!

And we ask this through Jesus Christ Your Son and through the Power of the Holy Spirit

Amen

World Youth Day and Converting Everyone to Christ - Bishop Robert Barron - commenting on a statement made by Bishop Américo Aguiar



Awesome Bishop Barron and thank you. The Church exists to Evangelize. As Disciples of Jesus, this is our Mission. As a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother I find his statements a statement made by Bishop Américo Aguiar disheartening, to say the Least and somewhat depressing

World Youth Day and Converting Everyone to Christ - 

Bishop Robert Barron 

You have probably heard by now that a statement made by Bishop Américo Aguiar has caused quite a stir. Aguiar is the auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, Portugal, and he is the chief coordinator of the upcoming World Youth Day. Moreover, he was, in a very surprising move, just named a cardinal by Pope Francis. So he is a man of considerable weight—which is one reason why his remarks have gotten so much attention. He commented, in reference to the international gathering over which he is presiding, “We want it to be normal for a young Catholic Christian to say and bear witness to who he is or for a young Muslim, Jew, or of another religion to also have no problem saying who he is and bearing witness to it, and for a young person who has no religion to feel welcome and to perhaps not feel strange for thinking in a different way.” The observation that excited the most wonderment and opposition was this: “We don’t want to convert the young people to Christ or to the Catholic Church or anything like that at all.” I will admit that the remark of his that disturbed me the most, however, was this one: “That we all understand that differences are a richness and the world will be objectively better if we are capable of placing in the hearts of all young people this certainty,” implying that fundamental disagreement on matters of religion is good in itself, indeed what God actively desires. Lots of Catholics around the world have been, to put it mildly, puzzled by the cardinal-elect’s musings.
