Read about the intrinsically violent Muslim Belief and Prison Gate Ministry

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' 

 

"Would you rather have an Allah who says to kill me to go to heaven or a Jesus who says for me to love you because I am going to heaven and He would like you to be with me?"

PRAYER FOR SOLDIERS

From Susan Chewens
Tuesday 08/01/2006 5:44 PM
Chester, NY

“My son, Zach Barrett, will be leaving for Iraq in 3 weeks. He will be leaving for Iraq on his 21st birthday. I started searching for the Psalms and then for prayers for soldiers and came upon your site. I want to find some prayers to say to channel my fear and worry into something good for my son and me.”

Reply from Fr. Joe Nguyen 08/25/2006 9:33 PM

Please send this prayer to Susan and tell her that this is a prayer that Father Joe proposes to there so that she can pray for her son daily.
 “All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his own land and departed from his own people, you kept him safe all through his journey. Protect my son, who is also your servant: walk by his side step to help him; be his companion and his strength on the road and his refuge in every adversity. Lead him, O Lord, so that he will complete his tour of duty safely and happily return to our home. I ask this through Christ, My Lord.”

And I would like to bless him with this prayer:
“May God bless you with every heavenly blessing and give you a safe journey. Wherever life leads you, may you find him there to protect you. We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.”

January 27 (handicaps)

Healing Lord, during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Saint Angela experienced a major devastation; she became blind. Yet she insisted on continuing the pilgrimage with devotion and enthusiasm. In my journey through this world, and in the journeys of everyone I know—especially the handicapped and disabled—help us to continue onward when adversities hit. Renew our zeal for spiritual growth. You restored Saint Angela’s sight; teach us to know that Your healing love is with us even when we don't get the cures we want. Use everything to bring us closer to You. Saint Angela, pray for us. Amen.

 

 

We must give alms. Charity wins souls and draws them to virtue.

Saint Angela Merici

 

As our Savior says: “A good tree is not able to produce bad fruit.”

He says: A good tree, that is, a good heart as well as a soul on fire with charity, can do nothing but good and holy works. For this reason Saint Augustine said: “Love, and do what you will,” namely, possess love and charity and then do what you will. It is as if he had said: Charity is not able to sin.

Mothers of children, even if they have a thousand, carry each and every one fixed in their hearts, and because of the strength of their love they do not forget any of them. In fact, it seems that the more children they have the more their love and care for each one is increased.

Be sincerely kind to every one according to the words of our Lord: “Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” Thus you are imitating God, of whom it is said: “He has disposed all things pleasantly.” And again Jesus said: “My yoke is easy and my burden light.”

From Spiritual Testament by Saint Angela Merici

 

If according to times and needs you should be obliged to make fresh rules and change current things, do it with prudence and good advice.

Saint Angela Merici

 

O Lord, let St. Angela never cease commending us to Your kindness. By always imitating her charity and prudence may we succeed in keeping Your teachings and reflecting them in our lives.
