MONDAY:

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
 
Dear Almighty God
We praise and thank You for being so good and kind to us
We praise and thank You for making our burdens, light
We praise and thank You for always lighting our path
 
Guide us, Oh Lord how to be morally upright
In this situation full of fake news and misinformation,
Help us to stand for the truth even the pressures are strong
Sustain us, so that we may remain firm
Amidst problems and trials, that often confronts us

Help us to be a responsible persons

Always willing to help anyone who needs care and attention
A humble and a selfless heart grant us, Oh God
So we may serve You and our neighbours with all our heart. Amen

 
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

“You know how to interpret the appearance of
the earth and the sky; why do you not know
how to interpret the present time? Why do you
not judge for yourselves what is right?”
(Luke 12: 56-57)
 To carry out such a task, the Church has always
had the duty of scrutinizing the signs of the times
and of interpreting them in the light of the gospel.
Thus, in language intelligible to each generation,
she can respond to the perennial questions which
men ask about this present life and the life to
come, and the relationship of the one to the other
