Almighty and merciful Father,
Look upon Rachel with eyes of mercy.
May Your life giving powers flow into every cell of her body
and into the depths of her soul,
driving away all physical and spiritual sickness.
We ask You this in the Name of Our Saviour Jesus,
Amen!
Christ conquers! Christ reigns! Christ commands!
O Sacred heart of Jesus we place our trust in thee.

Omnipotent and eternal God,
the everlasting Salvation of those who believe in You,
hear us on behalf of Thy sick servant, Apollo,
for whom we beg the aid of Thy pitying mercy,
that, with his bodily health restored,
he may give thanks to You in your Church.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen!

Saint Veronica
Veronica was the woman of Jerusalem who wiped the face of Jesus Christ with a veil when He was on His way to Calvary.
According to legend, when Christ was carrying His Cross to Calvary, an unknown woman offered Him a cloth to wipe His brow, and when He returned it to her, it bore the imprint of His Face. In time, this unknown woman came to be known as “Veronica” (Vera-true; icon-image). What happened to her after this incident is told in a variety of legends. In one version, she went to Rome and cured Emperor Tiberius with her relic. In another version, she is the wife of Zacchaeus, the tax collector who climbed the sycamore tree in Luke 19:1-10; and other versions also exist. Suffice it to say that there is no factual information about her, only the fact that she wiped the Lord’s Face and Jesus rewarded her with His holy image imprinted on the cloth.
On her death, Veronica bequeathed the holy relic to Pope Saint Clement.
The relic is still preserved in Saint Peter’s and the memory of Veronica’s act of charity is commemorated in the Stations of the Cross. She is represented by a woman holding a cloth that bears the image of Christ’s face
Saint Veronica
Pray for us!

“ No matter how good food is, if mixed with poison, it may cause the death of him who eats it.
So it is with conversation. A single bad word, an evil action, an unbecoming joke, is often enough to harm one or more young listeners, and may later on cause them to lose God’s grace.”
St. John Bosco
Sometimes it may happen that one attends an official function that is concluded with a dinner party or some such things. Almost always, at least the ones I used to attend, the master of ceremony took it upon himself to tell jokes. Most of these so called jokes tended to be dirty jokes but people laughed and had a great time. It is a long time since I last attended such a function but I bet it is still practised. |

So valuable to heaven is the dignity of the human soul that every member of the human race has a guardian angel from the moment the person begins to be.
St. Jerome
Yes, and we aught to talk to them often, as they are with us always.  Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen. |

“Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake,
or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge
over those who sleep.
Tend your sick ones,
O Lord Jesus Christ;
rest your weary ones;
bless your dying ones;
soothe your suffering ones;
pity your afflicted ones;
shield your joyous ones;
and all for your love's sake.
Amen!”
