Wishing you all a most Blessed and Holy Easter!
“I am the Resurrection and the Life,
he who believes in Me,
although he be dead, shall live.”
John 11:25
“This is the day which the Lord hath made,
let us be glad and rejoice therein.”
Psalm 117:24
“He is risen!
May the hope of the Resurrection inspire your heart
and may God’s grace shine brightly upon you this Easter and always!”
Thank you for accompanying me on our Lenten journey.
I hope Fr Clarke’s words hves inspired a greater love and understanding of the Sacred Passion of Our Lord.
Today we rejoice and continue with joy singing in our hearts throughout Eastertide.
I will be taking a short break, with Our Lady’s month fast approaching, I cannot be gone very long.
In the meantime, I will continue to offer my humbler prayers for you all. A special word of gratitude to the generous and loving benefactors who keep Breathing Catholic going!
See you soon
With prayerful love
Ana

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! 🙏

Dear Rudi – so sorry for the long delay in replying – I thank you with gratitude for your kind greeting and wishes. It is so encouraging to know the daily posts are inspiring and helpful in your spiritual life – thank you!
The Breathing Catholic site is experiencing technical difficulties at present (one of them being that I cannot see and respond to messages in the normal way)and there is nothing I can do about it. When the Techies are working in the background, I am sure you are well aware, oftentimes they mess many things up before they fix anything. I am currently struggling for more than 3 weeks and having experienced the exact same before, I know there is nothing I can do – speaking to them is a waste of time.
Please just pray for the Site and for me.
As I do for you @rudihermans. 🙏 Ana

Hi Rudi apologies for the this late reply but I have not been able to see or respond to your message due to technical difficulties (still ongoing) on the site. Since I found your kind message (in the Admin) I have tried 3 times to respond. I sincerely hope you see this. I am most grateful for your kind words and am immensely happy that the Site inspires and assists your spiritual life. Always praying for all my fellow pilgrims 🙏 God bless @rudihermans

Dear Ana, I am delighted to have received your answered emails, for which thank you very much ! I have no doubt that your honorable website will soon be restored and you will be able to send again important Christian information to your pilgrims ! Your website is a source of “Evangelization” and very useful for us Catholics. Today is May 1 and the beginning of Holy Mary Month. A joyful month ! This evening I am going to the Eucharist here in the neighborhood followed by a Rosary. I will be sure to communicate your intentions and prayers to Mary at the altar ! I wish you good health and hope to see you soon via your emails! Rudi from Belgium.

Dear Rudi I too am most grateful to hear from you again. The Site is still misbehaving – I still am unable to answer comments there. I am trying this way instead. Please keep the Site and me in your prayers – we both are most in need of them 🙏 Here is my email address and please send yours by return – anasaintpaul@gmail.com. At least we will be able to stay in touch. I am so pleased you were able to pray at the Mary Altar too. She will always protect and care for you. With my prayers and hope to hear from you soon. Also praying this method works! Wishing you abundant blessings from our Beloved Jesus and His Mother and ours.

Hi there dear @myallaboutyou – I am taking a break – Lent is always a difficult journey in more ways than one. The Breathing Catholic Apostolate becomes a wonderful God-given penance for me.
I have been very tired and a painful back. Please pray for me to garner the Lord’s strength and grace to come back very soon.
I should be online by early next week, God willing.
BLESS YOU – I miss your very kind daily encouragement🙏💖🤗 Ana

Dear friend
I am slowly recovering and less tired.
I hope you will continue to pray for me. But I will hopefully be back by next week.
Please also pray that the terrible technical problems on the site will be mended by the weekend. It is impossible to work like this!
Many prayers and blessing! 🙏🤗 Ana
