Alas, Lord
By St Teresa of Jesus of Avila
Alas, Lord,
who is it that has dared to make this petition in the name of all?
But behold, Lord,
Thou art a God of mercy,
have mercy upon this poor sinner, this miserable worm who is so bold with Thee.
Behold my desires, my God,
and the tears with which I beg this of Thee,
forget my deeds, for Thy name’s sake,
and have pity upon all these souls who are being lost, and help Thy Church.
Do not permit more harm to be wrought to Christendom,
Lord, give light to this darkness.
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. .
