Our Morning Offering – 14 February – Friday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time, Year A
You are Waiting for Me
By Fr Henri Nouwen (1932-1996)
Dear Lord…
there is no certainty that my life
will be any easier in the years ahead
or that my heart will be any calmer
but, there is certainty
that You are waiting for me
and will welcome me home
when I have persevered
in my long journey to Your house.
Amen

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 Catholic Church and all her teachings.
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 95% 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! 🙏

Thank you for making this prayer available to me.
I was struggling with discouragement this morning and prayed to my Guardian Angel for protection. He led me to this beautiful prayer!
Keep up your own heart. God is good and knows how you love serve Him in us.

Aaah AnneMarie – I am sad and happy – both together! I am so pleased you found succour in that beautiful prayer of Fr Nouwen.
Thank you for sharing the great blessing you experienced. I know I did too.
And thank you for your prayer for me – I pray constantly that He will keep this (His site) going.
God bless and love you!
