Our Morning Offering – 15 January – The Feast of Our Lady of Banneux/Our Lady of the Poor (1933)
O Virgin of the Poor,
Our Lady of Banneux
Prayer of Monsignor Louis-Joseph Kerkhofs (1878-1962)
Bishop of Liège at the time of the apparitions
O Virgin of the Poor,
May you ever be blessed!
And blessed be He Who deigned to send you to us.
What you have been and are to us now,
you will always be to those
who, like us and better than us,
offer their faith and their prayer.
You will be all for us,
as you revealed yourself at Banneux:
Mediatrix of all graces,
the Mother of the Saviour, Mother of God.
A compassionate and powerful Mother
who loves the poor and all people,
who alleviates suffering,
who saves individuals and all humanity,
Queen and Mother of all Nations,
who came to lead all those
who allow themselves to be guided by you,
to Jesus,
the true and only Source of eternal life.
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.
