Almighty Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, may you be glorified as we and our households serve you.
Lord Jesus, you who are not ashamed to call us brothers, help us to do the will of our heavenly Father, so that we would be deserving to be your true family. Keep us secure along the paths of holiness and discipleship, and to be always obedient to you as our Master.
Holy Spirit, you who are the love that binds Father and Son together, empower us to know the love of Christ and be filled with all the fullness of God. Strengthen us as we endure the challenges of the authentic Christian life, and help us to be perfect through suffering.
Triune God, keep us, our households and our community steadfast in our resolve to serve you. Send us forth to be families on mission. Use us in order to witness to your love and to establish your dominion over the whole world.
Mama Mary, comfort us in our afflictions, cover us with your mantle of protection, and keep us in your loving embrace always.
Amen.Pro-abortion politicians should repent for promoting the destruction of human life, Irish Catholic Bishop Kevin Doran said Tuesday. Ireland officially legalized abortion Jan. 1, a dark new era for the once strongly pro-life nation. New Year’s Day was a day of mourning for pro-life advocates, but also one of determination as they vowed to continue working to protect unborn babies.

As seen in this picture are the donations collected during the 2012 Advent Appeal for Diapers and Wipes received by St. Mary Doolittle of the Sisters of Life. Compare to last year's appeal, our collections increased more than threefold this year and Sisters of Life was so much grateful for the timely delivery of diapers, wipes and petroleum jellies which they said had provided relief to them due to the increasing number of mothers who gave birth to babies saved from abortion. Families they now serve include those refugees and migrant workers whom they discovered to be very vulnerable to sending their children to abortion mills. Collections came from almost all chapters in the GTA District but this time we noted the active participation of the Handmaids and YFL.

Through
all of our 29 years, we have spoken much of our vision and mission, who we
are, what we are called to do. We know that we are an evangelistic and
missionary community. This has been true from the very beginning and has
never changed. We do our work within the context of family renewal. That
is one distinct factor that distinguishes us from other renewal movements.

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The Eucharist is the greatest gift God gives to His people. The Eucharist is our path to holiness and Christian perfection. The Eucharist is crucial to our work of the New Evangelization. We must have greater understanding and appreciation of the Eucharist, so that we can go forth and truly be effective witnesses to salvation in Jesus.
Servant leadership is crucial to our work of building up community and of doing a massive work of evangelization. Unfortunately, many who are leaders in our Church today may not have the heart of a servant. But Jesus, our Lord and Master, came not to be served but to serve. He is our main model.
