HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY➕🙏⛪️

On March 17, Catholics celebrate St. Patrick, the fifth century bishop and patron of Ireland, whose life of holiness set the example for many of the Church's future saints.

St. Patrick is said to have been born around 389 AD in Britain. Captured by Irish raiders when he was about 16, St. Patrick was taken as a slave to Ireland where he lived for six years as a shepherd before escaping and returning to his home.

At home, he studied the Christian faith at monastic settlements in Italy and in what is now modern-day France. He was ordained a deacon by the Bishop of Auxerre, France around the year 418 AD and ordained a bishop in 432 AD.

It was around this time when that he was assigned to minister to the small, Christian communities in Ireland who lacked a central authority and were isolated from one another.

When St. Patrick returned to Ireland, he was able to use his knowledge of Irish culture that he gained during his years of captivity. Using the traditions and symbols of the Celtic people, he explained Christianity in a way that made sense to the Irish and was thus very successful in converting the natives.

The shamrock, which St. Patrick used to explain the Holy Trinity, is a symbol that has become synonymous with Irish Catholic culture.

Although St. Patrick's Day is widely known and celebrated every March the world over, various folklore and legend that surround the saint can make it difficult to determine fact from fiction.

Legends falsely site him as the man who drove away snakes during his ministry despite the climate and location of Ireland, which have never allowed snakes to inhabit the area.

St. Patrick is most revered not for what he drove away from Ireland, but flor what he brought, and the foundation he built for the generations of Christians who followed him.

Although not the first missionary to the country, he is widely regarded as the most successful. The life of sacrifice, prayer and fasting has laid the foundation for the many saints that the small island was home to following his missionary work.

To this day, he continues to be revered as one of the most beloved Saints of Ireland.

In March of 2011, the Irish bishops' conference marked their patron's feast by remembering him as “pioneer in an inhospitable climate.”

As the Church in Ireland faces her own recent difficulties following clerical s*x abuse scandals, comfort can be found in the plight of St. Patrick, the bishops said.

They quoted The Confession of St. Patrick, which reads: “May it never befall me to be separated by my God from his people whom he has won in this most remote land. I pray God that he gives me perseverance, and that he will deign that I should be a faithful witness for his sake right up to the time of my passing.”

Prayer for Servant of God Alfie Lambe🙏➕
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the life of your servant, Alfie Lambe, who worked tirelessly to share the truths of our Catholic Faith as a missionary in the Legion of Mary. Though his life on earth was short, he was a diligent steward
of the tasks you entrusted to him. By following his good example, may we grow in holiness and share someday in the delightful vision of your glory. If it be for the accomplishment of your will and the good of your Church, we pray that Alfie Lambe be counted among your saints in light. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, thy sweet Mother, and in the name of your beloved Son, Jesus
Christ our Savior and Redeemer.
-Pedro de la Cruz.

Hello everyone😀blessings to you all➕🙏

Apology for the absence of post for sometime.

Here is something I found that I would like to share and I hope it helps🙏❤️➕

A goal without a plan is just a wish!

1. Pray, fast and sacrifice (alms) at least pray at least 15 minutes
2. Equip yourself - know your faith, you can only give what you have, read the catechism of the Catholic Church
3. Plant the Seeds of Faith - give literature, do the work of mercy, pray for somebody
4. Open the conversation - about God , find out why they don’t go to church, read the Jenkins report, clear up misconception about our faith, encourage them about the faith
5. Move the dialogue forward
6. Invite and connect - find something about usher them
7. Close the loop - help them to come back to the church, let a priest talk to them,

St. Marguerite Bourgeoys
She was born in Troyes, France, on April 17, 1620 and enjoyed a healthy happy childhood. At the age of twenty, she received the grace of a vocation during her prayers on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and applied at the convents of the Carmelites and the Poor Clares. She was not accepted. Marguerite was, at the time a Sodalist, attached to the convent of the Augustinian Canonesses. A priest in who she confided her disappointment, Abbe Gendret, advised her that God perhaps had chosen her for an active apostolate.
In 1653 the governor of the French settlement in Canada, Ville-Marie, decided that she was the woman destined to start educational programs in what was to become the city of Montreal. In 1667, at the end of the Iroquois War, Marguerite introduced classes for Indian children and set up a Marian Sodality there.
In 1670 she returned to France to recruit more women to help teach in the expanding
school and to get authorization from King Louis XIV for her school. Upon returning with now 9 teachers, Marguerite began her own congregation and called it the Congregation of Notre Dame which was canonically erected by the Bishop of Quebec, Blessed Francois de Laval, in 1676. She had to fight to maintain her vision of an active apostolate that was unlike that of the Ursulines. The official rule of the order was formally approved on June 24, 1698. She endured great tragedies including fires, the deaths of her sisters and extreme poverty. Despite these tragedies Marguerite maintained her order and set a precedent when she received two Iroquois women dedicated to Notre Dame de Bon Secours. She also opened a school for Indian girls.
In 1689, she was invited by the Bishop to expand her congregation to Quebec, and at the age of 69 she made the journey on foot to set up a new house. Four years later, she was able to resign and in 1699, she became seriously ill. She prayed to God that she would be able to die and take the place of a young novice who was also deathly ill. Three days later, the young novice miraculously recovered and on January 12, 1700, Marguerite died peacefully. She was declared venerable in 1878 and beatified in 1950 by Pope Pius XII. Pope John Paul II canonized Marguerite on October 31, 1982. (M. Bunson, M. Bunson, and S. Bunson. John Paul II’s Book of Saints. 1999. Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division: Huntington, IL. 45-6)

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (before he was Pope Benedict XVI).

Here’s what he said about applauding at Mass:

“Wherever applause breaks out in the liturgy because of some human achievement, it is a sure sign that the essence of liturgy has totally disappeared and been replaced by a kind of religious entertainment.Such attraction fades quickly – it cannot compete in the market of leisure pursuits, incorporating as it increasingly does various forms of religious titillation.”

St. Longinus
St. Longinus is the centurion who pierced the side of Our Lord while He was hanging on the Cross. St. Longinus, who was nearly blind, was healed when some of the blood and water from Jesus fell into his eyes. It was then he exclaimed "Indeed, this was the Son of God!" [Mark 15:39]. St. Longinus then converted, Left the army, took instruction from the apostles and became a monk in Cappadocia. There he was arrested for his faith, his teeth forced out and tongue cut off. However, St. Longinus miraculously continued to speak clearly and managed to destroy several idols in the presence of the governor. The governor, who was made blind by the demons that came from the idols, had his sight restored when St. Longinus was being beheaded, because his blood came in contact with the governors' eyes. St. Longinus' relics are now in the church of St Augustine, in Rome. His Lance is contained in one of the four pillars over the altar in the Basilica of St Peter's in Rome
