Pray for Peace in Syria



Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil


Feast day of Our Lady of Aparecida is on the 12 October. Our Lady of Aparecida is the patroness of Brazil and the poor.


In 1717 three fishermen were sent to catch fish in the Paraoba River for the governor of São Paulo because it was a religious day of abstinence and he wasn’t allowed to eat meat. The three fishermen tried and tried, but no fish were entering their nets. When they were at the point of giving up, they caught in their net the headless body of a statue of the Blessed Mother. Bewildered they continued fishing and rowing down the stream. Soon they also caught the head of Our Lady. Now that the Mother of God was on board with them, they caught so many fish that their boat almost sank. This was reminiscent of the story in Luke 5:1-11 where the disciples couldn’t catch any fish until Jesus appeared and told them where to cast their nets. Soon their boats filled almost to the point of sinking. 

Luke 5:1-11
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
5 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Since the statue is small and measuring only around 15” tall, one of the three fishermen, João Alves and his companions considered that this incident was much more than a coincidence. As soon as the two parts of the statue were joined together again, it was a statue of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and it was venerated by the families and neighbours of the fishermen. Soon after it became known as Our Lady of the Conception Who Appeared from the Waters, which in shortened form became Our Lady Aparecida ("Aparecida" meaning "who appeared").

Construction for the first Basilica dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida, began in 1834. In fact, the site attracted so many people, that over time, a nearby town came to be. A century later, a new 18,000 square meter sanctuary was needed to accommodate all the pilgrims. Now that site is a reality. It's a site that welcomes more than 200,000 pilgrims every single day.


Our Lady of Aparecida Prayer
Lady Aparecida, a son of yours who belongs to you unreservedly "totus tuus" called by the mysterious plan of Providence to be the Vicar of your Son on earth, wishes to address you at this moment. He recalls with emotion, because of the brown color of this image of yours, another image of yours, the Black Virgin of Jasna Gora. Mother of God and our Mother, protect the Church, the Pope, the bishops, the priests and all the faithful people; welcome under your protecting mantle men and women religious, families, children, young people, and their educations. Health of the sick and Consoler of the afflicted, comfort those who are suffering in body and soul; be the light of those who are seeking Christ, the Redeemer of all; show all people that you are the Mother of our confidence. Queen of Peace and Mirror of Justice, obtain peace for the world, ensure that Brazil and all countries may have lasting peace, that we will always live together as brothers and sisters and as children of God. Our Lady Aparecida, bless all your sons and daughters who pray and sing to you here and elsewhere.
Amen.

Holy Father Pope Francis - Sept 7, 2013 - Peace in Syria

“I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church on 7 September next, the vigil of the birth of Mary, Queen of Peace, a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.”

Prayer for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary


O Virgin immaculate, 
thou who by a singular privilege of grace 
wast preserved from original sin, 
look in pity upon our separated brethren, 
who are nevertheless thy children, 
and call them back to the center of unity. 
Not a few of them, 
although separated from the Church, 
have kept a certain veneration for thee; 
and do thou, generous as thou art, 
reward them for it, 
by obtaining for them the grace of conversion.

Thou wast conqueror of the infernal serpent 
from the first instant of thy existence; 
renew even now, 
for it is now more necessary than ever before, 
thine ancient triumphs; 
glorify thy divine Son, 
bring back to Him the sheep 
that have strayed from the one fold 
and place them once more 
under the guidance of the universal Shepherd 
who holds the place of thy Son on earth; 
let it be thy glory, 
O Virgin who destroyest all heresies, 
to restore unity and peace 
once more to all the Christian people.
Amen

Nick Vujicic ~ No arms.. No legs.. No worries!


Here lies a man with no arms, no legs, no limbs, 
yet he is smiling.

Nicholas James Vujicic more commonly known as Nick Vujicic born 4 December, 1982 in Melbourne, Australia is a Serbian Australian. Nick is an evangelist and motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. Vujicic understood how his disabilities put him at many disadvantages, but he didn't want his life to be enveloped in the gloomy light of depression and he acquired a double degree in accounting and financial planning. Nick reveals his compassion for others through expressions of love he shows to those in need. He currently lives in Los Angeles, USA.



On 12 February, 2012, he married Kanae Miyahara and their son Kiyoshi James Vujicic was born on 13 February, 2013, weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces. He founded his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs. Everywhere Nick Vujicic goes, he encourages people to find their life's purpose and to fulfill it. Vujicic shares the importance of having a vision, dreaming big, and letting go of mental or physical obstacles that people think are keeping them from having a positive or profound life.



"I realised it's not that no arms and legs prevent me from doing anything. Fear is preventing people with arms and legs from doing things!" ― Nick Vujicic @ Petaling Jaya Hilton, Selangor , Malaysia visit


“If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If YOU fail, are you going to try again? The human spirit can handle much worse than we realize. It matters HOW you are going to FINISH. Are you going to finish strong?” ― Nick Vujicic


“Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling estates worth millions. Why is that? You'll find contentment when your talents and passion are completely engaged, in full force. Recognise instant self-gratification for what it is. Resist the temptation to grab for material objects like the perfect house, the coolest clothes or the hottest car. The if I just had X, I would be happy syndrome is a mass delusion. When you look for happiness in mere objects, they are never enough. Look around. Look within.” ― Nick Vujicic

“If you can't get a miracle, become one.” 
― Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits

“...God's love is so real that He created you to prove it.” 
― Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits

“I have the choice to be angry at God for what i don't have, or be thankful for what i do have” 
― Nick Vujicic, Life Without Limits

“We can't, and we should not, compare sufferings. We come together as a family of God, hand in hand. And then together coming and standing upon the promises of God, knowing that no matter who you are, no matter what you're going through, that God knows it, He is with you, He is going to pull you through.”  ― Nick Vujicic

Church of NBVM, Butterworth Feast day and Novena 2013

Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Butterworth
Penang
Malaysia.
78 years (1935 - 2013)


The Most Blessed Virgin Mary was filled by God with grace, 
and as such was saluted by the angel, 
"Hail, full of grace..." 
not for herself alone, but also for us. 
She received this grace, 
that she might give in return salvation to all.






Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.



My Mother, mother of my soul, 
thou who lovest me, 
and desirest my salvation 
more than any other after God, 
O Mother, show thyself a Mother. 
My Mother, grant that I may always remember thee!













If it is Your Will Lord, Let it be Done unto me

Lord, I am your servant. 
Let it be done unto me 
according to your Will.


Lord, Heavenly Father, I thank you for all you have done in my life and I truly believe it would not have happened without your will. Lord, there is nothing beyond your mighty knowledge, as you are the creator of all that is in Heaven and on Earth. Lord,  I trust and believe that you know my situations and hopes in this current time where I really need your most urgent attention in healing (I need urgent funds to solve my financial predicament). I pray that if it is your will Lord, you will heal me out all my troubling situations through the miraculous power by your holy will. I am trying my best Lord at being humble and patient but please forgive me Lord because I am unable to control my anxiety and worry which is getting the best of me. Grant me Lord the peace of mind that I have been longing for. Lord is ask this prayer, in the Jesus name that you will hear my cry and answer me. Amen.

Luke 1:37
"For with God nothing will be impossible."

I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord, my light and my salvation (Psalm 27)

Psalms 27: 1, 4, 13 - 14
1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
4One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
13I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!
14Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD!
