Pope Francis invites everyone TO PRAY FOR PEACE IN SYRIA

 
On Sunday, the Pope declared in his Angelus teaching that Saturday Sept. 7 would be an day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria. The prayer rally will take place in St. Peter’s Square from 7 p.m. to midnight, on the vigil of the birth of Mary, the Queen of Peace. “Let us ask Mary to help us to respond to violence, to conflict and to war, with the power of dialogue, reconciliation and love,” the Pope asked people around the world. “She is our mother: may she help us to find peace; all of us are her children!”

 This Saturday, September 7, the faithful are invited to join the Most Reverend Terrence Prendergast, SJ, Archbishop of Ottawa in prayer at St. Patrick’s Basilica, 281 Nepean Street, Ottawa, beginning at 1 pm with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Rosary and other devo...tions. Confessors will also be available from 3:30 pm on. This special period of prayer will conclude with Benediction and be followed by Eucharist, to be presided by the Archbishop, beginning at 4:30 pm.

Last Sunday, Pope Francis requested that the faithful fast and pray for peace in Syria this Saturday, September 7, uniting ourselves with him as he prays from 7 to 11 pm (Rome time) in St. Peter’s Square.

Archbishop Prendergast is inviting the faithful to join him this Saturday, September 7th, in a day of fasting and prayer at home, in churches and oratories, and especially at St. Patrick’s Basilica for special intercessions for Syria.

The faithful are also asked to give generously during a special collection at all Masses this weekend for those suffering in Syria or seeking refuge in neighbouring countries.

AT: ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD, Saturday, September 7, 2013

Fr. Yves announced after Mass this morning that he would have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 3:00 p.m. followed by Adoration here at Annunciation of the Lord this Saturday, September 7th. This time of prayer for Syria will conclude with Benediction just before the 5:00 p.m. Mass to increase the opportunity for us to participate in this prayer endeavour.

Father Yves Marchildon C.C. Homily on Trinity Sunday, 2013

Father spoke of  The Spirit of Truth and relativism 

There is  no true peace without truth . There cannot  be true peace if everyone is his own criterion, if everyone can always claim exclusively his own rights. without at the same time caring for the good of others .of everyone on the basis of the nature that  unites every human being on this earth.

And when we are dealing with individuals in charity and in kindness and respect for the other person we should still propose that these morals are true for them even if they don't want to accept them. It is true for them and it is true for the good of humanity . Most of us don't realize just how badly our culture is affected by relativism the spiritual poverty .

To repeat those word from Pope Francis
" In an age sceptical of truth, we believe not only that truth exists but that it is found through faith in Jesus Christ the Incarnate Son of God. The Holy Spirit brings us to Jesus. he guides the whole church into the fullness of truth"

National March for Life in Ottawa - May 9, 2013




 

 

from Cardinal Collins homily
 
" We need to think clearly . We reflect upon how we best can be faithful in proclaiming the Gospel of Life. It's not enough simply to proclaim the Gospel of Life. . That's necessary but it's not sufficient. We need to do it faithfully and effectively: look to ways we can creatively help those people who cannot see the value of human life from conception 'til natural death. How can we help people see the truth? 
 
We have to look at ways for example that we can find: In the bills of parliament, that we can limit abortion....more that's good....and then more that's better.....then even more, that's better.....We may not be able to do it all at once now, but it is far better to limit it, limit it, limit it, persistently, rather than say unless we can do it totally now, like that, we won't do it at all: we'll wait 'til we can do it perfectly .
 
God expects of us that we will think it through, not for our sake but for the sake of the people we serve."
