“Mercy and faithfulness have met [the Word became Flesh]; Justice and Peace have embraced [the Prince of Peace came among us].
Faithfulness shall spring froth from the earth [The Son of God redeemed us] and Justice look down from Heaven [God Who is Father, Son & Holy Spirit gazes upon us with Love].”
[Psalm 85]
May God Be Praised.
In the Gospel of Luke [17:11-12], Jesus heals ten lepers, yet only one returns to give thanks. The men and women our nation honors today deserve our gratitude and our thanks because they fought - fought for all of us. On Veteran's Day we honor those who live among us who have served in the defense of our country.
Many veterans sacrificed physically and psychologically while defending our country and preserving the principles that upon which America was founded. There are currently more roughly eighteen million veterans, today offer a pray for them and thank God for their service for our nation.
I offer this Blessing upon our veterans, “Bless O Lord, those who have fought in the defense of our nation. Give us the grace to reach out to them in gratitude for their service, may their commitment and sacrifice inspire each one of us to work together to realize The Kingdom.” Amen.
For our Nation we pray: “Loving God help us to serve those who are shunned or eschewed; guide our civic leaders; bless our nation; and bestow Your grace upon our elected officials and anoint them with the desire to foster the common good.” Amen.
[Dcn. George Kelly]
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.
“Tune my spirit to the music of heaven.” [St. Brendan the Navigator]
May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
You blessed the universe and all the cosmos when You created them.
You came to earth the Word made Flesh to redeem us and show us the Way to our Heavenly home.
Grant us, today, the grace of gratitude for Your creation and our participation in that creation.
Amen.
May God Be Praised.
Kindness, Radiance & One.

St. Margaret Mary said the purpose of life is “The sacred heart of Christ [which] is an inexhaustible fountain, and its sole desire is to pour itself out into the hearts of the humble so as to free them and prepare them to lead lives according to his good pleasure."
Allow yourself to be enveloped by the sacred Heart of Christ.
May God Be Praised.
