For such a young woman, the extent to which her strong Catholic faith helps her handle the In this beautiful psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint pressures of being an elite athlete is inspiring. Bonaventure evokes every Catholic to recourse to the protection of Our Lady in consideration of The Four Last The post points out that Grace does not travel anywhere Things.

Make that two Friday Fun Nights in the books! Hopefully you have all recovered from the cornhole games with Fr. Wayne and Fr. Dominic. They took their training pretty seriously... If you lost to them and their partners, know it was because of the hours of practice they were putting in outside their daily prayers and offerings of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Our next Friday Fun Night will be a trip to Castle Island! We will be leaving the back lot at 6:00 p.m. Please let me know if you will be joining us no later than Wednesday (7/21).

Last week, I encouraged you all to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet while meditating on the following: “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!”. By doing this, we begin the process of entering into more of a meditative form of prayer which is the second of the three forms of prayer we have discussed at Pizza & Prayer (vocal, meditative, contemplative).

Before we can really enter into mediation, we must first work on being comfortable in the silence. This will help us continue building upon meditative prayer. Just like with anything we desire to be good at (sports, art, singing, etc.), we must be disciplined. Your challenge this week is to make 3 minutes of silence a priority in the morning when you wake up and another 3 minutes before going to bed.

Mother Theresa said “In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.”
