Miraculous Prayer to the Little Flower
O Little flower of Jesus, ever con- soling troubled souls with heavenly graces, in our unfailing interces- sions I place my confident trust. From the heart of our Divine Savior, petition the blessings of which I stand in greatest need...... Shower upon me your promised roses of virtue and grace, Dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbor, I may someday receive the crown of life eternal. Amen March 28, 2021 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Welcome to St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin 2
The Crucifixion of Our Lord After the anguish and desolation of His agony in the Garden, after the betrayal of Judas, the arrest, the interrogations of Annas, Caiaphas, Herod and Pilate, after the triple denial of Peter, the bloody scourging and crowning with thorns—all the while being ridiculed, blasphemed and spat upon—after all this, Jesus, our meek and humble Lord and God, who is Love, took up His heavy Cross, carried it to Calvary and was crucified. On the Cross, Jesus, though united to the Father, was deprived of all divine consolation. In the depths of His pain, He cried out: “Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? - “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mk. 15:34). The crucifixion shows Christians not only the effect that our sins have on Our Lord, but also the depths of His infinite love and lengths that He will go to save us from our sins, that we may be with Him in eternity. After Our Lord’s death, the veil of the Temple was rent in two, the earth quaked, graves were opened, “and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose” (Mt. 27:51-52). Having seen these things, the centurion said, “Indeed this was the Son of God” (Mt. 27:54).
Prayer of Pope Leo XIII to St. Joseph to be said after the Rosary: A Prayer for Our Times "To you, O Blessed Joseph, we come in our trials, and having asked the help of your most holy spouse, we con- fidently ask your patronage also. Through that sacred bond of charity which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the fatherly love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you to look graciously upon the beloved inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by his blood, and to aid us in our ne- cessities with your power and strength. “O most provident guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ. Most beloved fa- ther, dispel the evil of falsehood and sin. Our most mighty protector, graciously assist us from heaven in our strug- gle with the powers of darkness. And just as you once saved the Child Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity. “Shield each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your help, we may be able to live a virtuous life, to die a holy death, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen."
This Year’s Grammys: A Shameful Display of Pop Culture Jonathan Van Maren (LifeSiteNews, 3/16/21) March 16, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — In keeping with my lifelong tradition of not watching the Grammys, I once again did not watch them this year. For this year’s Grammys, our cultural elites outdid themselves. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion staged what closely resembled a live sex performance replete with stripper poles, backup dancers wearing only thongs and lingerie, and much flailing about with very little clothing. At one point, they twerked in bed together. This was aired on CBS, and these singers are popular among young women. Young men, unsurprisingly, greatly appreci- ate this in a chauvinist, ungentlemanly sort of way. Back in the good old days, feminist heads would be exploding and the right sort of cancel culture would be kicking into gear. But we’re more enlightened now. (It bears mentioning that our superiors waltzed the red carpet maskless — those sorts of rules are for the little people.) The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) released a statement condemning the performance: “In a perform- ance that could have been cut from a hardcore pornography film, CBS allowed a glamorization of stripping and prostitution to be broadcast in front of a national audience — a portion of which were children — for no other reason than for TV rat- ings,” stated senior vice president and executive director Dawn Hawkins. “Despite the ‘popularity’ of the song performed by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, CBS should have never allowed this kind of explicit performance to happen at the Gram- mys.” Further, Hawkins stated: “Prostitution and stripping are never empowering for women, as they set up systems that exploit and oppress women. CBS has contributed to furthering the sexual exploitation of women and contributed to the ‘normalization’ of porn culture.” It goes without saying that most of those selling their bodies to men are desperately sad and close to broke, spending the money they’ve received for a pound of flesh for the drugs they need to survive the life they’re trapped in.
