One Minute Reflection – 22 November – Gospel: Luke 19:45–48 – Friday of the Thirty Third week in Ordinary Time, Year C, Gospel: Luke 19:45–48 – and the Memorial of St Pedro Esqueda Ramirez (1887-1927) Priest, Martyr of the Cristero War

And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”…Luke 19:45-46and-he-entered-the-temple-and-began-to-drive-out-luke-19-45-46-23-nov-2018 and 22 nov 2019.jpg

REFLECTION – “Have I learned to watch over myself, that the temple of my heart is only for the Holy Spirit?   Purify the temple, the inner temple and watch.  Be careful, be careful, what happens in the heart.   Who comes in and who goes out, the feelings, the ideas…  Do we speak to the Holy Spirit?   Do we listen to the Holy Spirit?   Watch out.   Let us be attentive to what happens in our temple, in (us) ourselves.”…Pope Francis – Santa Marta, 24 November 2017let-us-be-attentive-pope-francis-23-nov-2018and 22 nov 2019.jpg

PRAYER – Lord our God, in Your mercy listen to our prayers! Teach us the peace of Your love. Guide us in the ways of Your Commandments. Let the path laid out by Your Son, be our Light and our Joy. Grant that by the prayers of Your Martyr, St Pedro and all Your Saints, we may receive strength for our journey. Through Jesus our Lord, with the Holy Spirit, God for all eternity, amen.st pedro esqueda ramirez pray for us 22 nov 2019.jpg

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! 🙏

  1. I’ve had more than a few disappointments and set-backs lately but, unlike my formal self, I love them as they firm my resolve firmer as I befriend Jesus all the more.

    1. Amen – hard lessons of life are there to teach us – if we allow them to. We were burglared on my Birthday Hughie when we went out of town for the day – our whole means of livelihood was stolen. I cannot talk of it without crying and shivering. BUT I still hold on very tightly to the hem of His robe.

  3. I will ask Our Blessed Mother to protect help, ask her to resolve this matter quickly so as not let you suffer any longer. I wish I had been there as I have some skills in this that I learned a long time ago. Is there any lawinforcement in your area?

    1. Thank you Hughie – I too am asking her to whisper in the Lord’s ear – urgently!
      Yes – if you could call it that – sorry to say they are FAT, UNCARING, UNCONCERNED and USELESS.
