Thought for the Day – 22 May
At every stage of her life, Rita seems to have bravely endured unendurable circumstances: frustration because her parents overrode her wish to become a nun; married an abuser; refused three times by the Augustinians; afflicted with the pain and embarrassment of the stigmata. None of these things, however, prevented her from serving God and her sisters. We can pray for her intercession in our desperate need, but we should also imitate her love in action.
St Rita of Cascia – pray for us!
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 100% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏

Ana the awesome one, I have a problem. I love attending the daily Mass from 6 am to 6:30. However, this morning the priest announced that there won’t be daily Mass during the Novena which will start on 26th of May at 7pm. I’m afraid, I can’t make it. Even on Saturday it will start at 5:30 pm while I go out of the office at 7:15pm. It takes about 50 minutes to get to the church. Care to tell what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Dear sweet Iswara – that is a big problem. I know how it feels, recently I had to miss the Rosary Novena for the Centenary of Fatima too. You will just have to pray the Novena I will be doing for Pentecost and then get to daily Mass when you can. God bless you!
