With an open heart hear the Holy Spirit Speak to you through a variety of available Programs. The Start of Radio Maria. Radio Maria was born as a parish radio in 1983 in the diocese of Milan, Italy. Radio Maria’s purpose was to keep parishioners informed and to help them through prayer and even through the broadcast of daily Mass and the Rosary. In 1987, the Radio Maria Association was formed by l
aymen and priests hoping to give Radio Maria independence from the parish and a larger scale in its commitment of evangelization. Within three years, the program schedule had been completely redesigned, and all of Italy’s regions were covered with the signal, making Radio Maria Italia a National Broadcasting Station. The World Family is born. Radio Maria Italia, grateful for having experienced the maternal guidance and grace of the Blessed Mother, felt the desire to communicate, with a missionary spirit, such gifts with other nations. This is how the various Radio Maria’s were founded throughout the world. The World Family, established in 1998, was the natural consequence of the founding of so many new Radio Maria stations throughout the world. Within the World Family, the chrism forms more and more a family whose strength resides in the Lord and is at the service of the New Evangelization. Radio Maria currently operates in over 30 countries, spreading the Gospel to millions of listeners in more than a dozen languages.

Forget the green beer and Leprechauns with rainbows, Patrick had God's grace running through his veins...
“My job as a pastor is to call the parents to live up to the commitment they made at their child’s baptism. They weren’t just words. They were a promise made to God.”

Exactly the point! God doesn't want you to do it! He wants you to rely on Him!
Act of Consecration to the Holy Spirit
On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself soul and body to Thee, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice, and the might of Thy love. Thou art the Strength and Light of my soul. In Thee I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Thy light and listen to Thy voice and follow Thy gracious inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee Adorable Spirit, helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee. Give me grace O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere, "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth."
Amen.

Lord help us to see You🙏
Saint Longinus the Centurion
Died: 1st century
Feast Day: October 16 (new) March 15 (trad.)
Patronage: the blind and those with poor eyesight, for discernment, Mantua
Saint Longinus was the centurion that pierced the side of Jesus at the Crucifixion. He was losing his eyesight at the time and when Christ’s blood fell into his eyes his sight was restored. He then said, “Indeed, this man was the Son of God.” (Mark 15:39) Subsequently, he received instructions from the apostles, converted, left the army, and became a monk. He was arrested, tortured (teeth pulled out and tongue cut out yet could still speak clearly), and martyred. His relics are in Rome and his lance is contained in one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St. Peter’s.

St. Joseph’s, St. Patrick’s Novena and Mother Mary
Sign of The Cross: May the Will of the Father, made known by the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Reign in me through Mary, in every act I do this day and every act I do for the rest of my life.
Act of Contrition, Spiritual Communion, Armour of God.
I unite with the Divine Humanity of Jesus. I pray this ........[Hour, Rosary, Chaplet] in the Will of the Father; with it I desire to embrace everything, compensate for everyone and hold Your Fiat captive upon the Earth.
Joseph’s love for Our Lady —Novena 2nd Day
From all Eternity God chose Mary to be the Mother of Jesus Christ, therefore she is above all other creatures both in heaven and on earth.
We see that love reflected in the scriptures as they journey to Bethlehem and the anxiety that Joseph must have felt in trying to find a suitable place where Mary could give birth to her child Jesus.
Novena Prayer: St. Joseph, as the faithful protector and Intercessors of all who love and venerate you. You know that I have confidence in you and that after Jesus and Mary, I come to you as one who had cared for Mary, and because you are especially close to God.
Therefore I humbly commend all who are expecting their babies to your tender care. I beg of you, by your love for Jesus and Mary, not to abandon them during this time in their lives [Intention].
Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I pray for the grace to have the courage to be confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.
St. Joseph, Patron of the Church and the family, pray for us.
One Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be.
Memorare to St. Joseph
Remember, O most pure spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, my great protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had recourse to your protection, or implored your aid without obtaining relief.
Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you. Do not turn down my petitions, foster father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive and answer them. Amen.
St. Patrick’s Novena Day 5
Daily Prayer
I arise today through God’s strength to pilot me; God’s might to uphold me, God’s wisdom to guide me, God’s eye to look before me, God’s ear to hear me.
God’s word to speak for me, God’s hand to guard me, God’s way to lie before me, God’s shield to protect me, God’s hosts to save me from the snares of the devil, from temptations of vices.
From every one who desires me ill, Afar and anear, Alone or in a multitude [Intentions].
Concluding Prayer: Pray for us, O glorious saint Patrick and obtain for us the intention of this Novena.
We intercede both with St. Patrick and St. Joseph for eradication of Covid 19, for renewal of Faith and the grace of true repentance in order to repair for all the suffering that Jesus endures presently.

Still don't know how to make the best of this Lenten season? The works of mercy are a great option
To become holy children of God, our Blessed Mother gently draws us into a loving bond with her Son who leads us to the Father by way of the Holy Spirit.
“A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from before your face, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore to me the gladness of your salvation; uphold me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12-14) The season of Lent is the time to get our spiritual ho...

Tune in on Wednesday at 2pm/CT to A Light in the World by Christine Rossi.
Special guest is Fr. Anthony Viviano!
Fr. Anthony is going to give us some spiritual advice on how to recharge our Lent promises that we made three weeks ago. This is sometimes the hardest week, as we want to go back to our normal life style.
Also, Confessions, Why and How to make a true contrition. Fr. Anthony came to the priesthood after being in the business sector of the world and he truly understands our brokenness. Tune in!
“Our Father who art in Heaven!” Oh, how beautiful it is, my children, to have a Father in Heaven! “Thy kingdom come.” If I make the good God reign in my heart, He will make me reign with Him in His glory. “Thy will be done.” There is nothing so sweet, and nothing so perfect, as to do the will of God. In order to do things well, we must do them as God wills, in all conformity with His designs. “Give us this day our daily bread.” We are composed of two parts, the soul and the body. We ask the good God to feed our poor body, and He answers by making the earth produce all that is necessary for our support…. But we ask Him to feed our soul, which is the best part of ourselves; and the earth is too small to furnish enough to satisfy it; it hungers for God, and nothing but God can satisfy it. Therefore the good God thought He did not do too much in dwelling upon the earth and assuming a body, in order that this Body might become the Food of our souls. “My Flesh,” said Our Lord, “is meat indeed…. The bread that I will give is my Flesh, for the life of the world.” The bread of souls is in the tabernacle. The tabernacle is the storehouse of Christians…. Oh, how beautiful it is, my children! When the priest presents the Host, and shows it to you, your soul may say, “There is my food.” O my children, we are too blessed!… We shall never comprehend it till we are in Heaven. What a pity that is!" - St John Vianney.
