Prayer: John Paul II
In the Twentieth Century, especially since the Council, there has been a great development in the way the Christian community celebrates the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist. It is necessary to continue in this direction and to stress particularly the Sunday Eucharist and Sunday itself, experienced as a special day of faith, the day of the risen Lord and of the gift of the Spirit, the true weekly Easter.
Amen! Have a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLynda, on this Day of the Lord, we prayed especially for Canada in the wake of their terrible tragedy.
DeleteJohn, thank you very much. It has affected our country very deeply and the kindness from our American friends means a great deal.
DeleteWe will hold you in prayer always. May you always find the Lord close to you.
DeleteAnd close to you as well. It is good that we pray for each other and for each other's countries.
DeleteAs friends in the Lord always will.
