A Prayer Before The Crucifix

'According to the historical record, St. Francis was inspired to compose this prayer after an extraordinary revelation that occurred in the little church of San Damiano, just outside the walls of Assisi. On that occasion Our Lord, depicted in the large iconic Crucifix above the altar, spoke and commanded St. Francis with the words: "Francis, go and rebuild My Church, which as you can see, is falling into ruin." This was in January of 1206 A.D. and this prayer was written down shortly afterwards.'

Most High, glorious God, enlighten the shadows of my heart, and grant unto me right faith, certain hope and perfect charity, sense and understanding, Lord, so that I may accomplish Thy holy and true mandate.

Beautiful picture of prayer and a new chapter in
the lives of some women. Reflective. A well taken
photo.



'This picture gives a glimpse into a most beautiful event in the life of a new sister: the reception of the Holy Habit, the cutting of her hair, and receiving a new name. Our seven new novices were invested with joyful solemnity on August 2 [2006].'

'Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be you, my God, for having created me.'

A Young Girl's Romance

This was posted by someone on You Tube called Covakid. It's about a
great friend and sister of mine, Thérèse. The clips are taken from
the film Thérèse about her life. More can be read about her in
my 'Gallery of Inspiration'. Uplifting . Great for a spiritual boost when needed.
