 A new year is upon us, but not only that, Lent is also just around the corner. It's a time of renewal for all Christians, a time to grow and to fall deeper in love with Jesus Christ, and to commit more fully to living our Baptismal call.
But how do we do that? The first step is of course prayer. Here are a few of our favorites:

 Earlier in October, Eliud Kipchoge broke the Two-Hour Marathon Barrier with a time of 1:59:40.
His achievement is a tremendous accomplishment and highlights his own individual ability, but it also speaks to the importance of training. And our training as Christians is just as intense sometimes as Eliud's was, just in a different way.  Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas For Right Ordering: For After Receiving Communion
"Generously Grant to me, O Lord my God, Intelligence in knowing you, Diligence in seeking you, Wisdom in finding you, Conduct pleasing to you, Perseverance in trustingly awaiting you, And Trust in finally embracing you."

"Generously Grant to me, O Lord my God, Intelligence in knowing you, Diligence in seeking you, Wisdom in finding you, Conduct pleasing to you, Perseverance in trustingly awaiting you, And Trust in finally embracing you." Every day, we Dominican Friars of St. Dominic Priory, and guests who join us, celebrate the Mass together and encounter the one we worship, Jesus Christ, who multiplied fishes and loaves to feed the hungry, who healed countless people and who was crucified and rose from the dead.
We who gather believe that this same Jesus is radically present in the Eucharist - His Body and Blood, which he leaves for us to eat and drink so we can be more easily and quickly healed for eternal life with Him. We strive daily during Mass to invite Jesus more and more into our hearts to heal us and to become more like Him. |
