Hope in Dark Times – God Cares About You, You are Not Alone


St. Hannah, December 9
The Foot of the Cross

“God vouchsafed to select the very things about Him which are most incommunicable, and in a most mysteriously real way communicate them to her. See how He had already mixed her up with the eternal designs of creation, making her almost a partial cause and partial model of it. Our Lady’s co-operation in the redemption of the world gives us a fresh view of her magnificence. Neither the Immaculate Conception nor the Assumption will give us a higher idea of Mary’s exaltation than the title of co-redemptress. Her sorrows were not necessary for the redemption of the world, but in the counsels of God they were inseparable from it. They belong to the integrity of the divine plan. Are not Mary’s mysteries Jesus’ mysteries, and His mysteries hers? The truth appears to be that all the mysteries of Jesus and Mary were in God’s design as one mystery. Jesus Himself was Mary’s sorrow, seven times repeated, aggravated sevenfold. During the hours of the Passion, the offering of Jesus and the offering of Mary were tied in one. They kept pace together; they were made of the same materials; they were perfumed with kindred fragrance; they were lighted with the same fire; they were offered with kindred dispositions. The two things were one simultaneous oblation, interwoven each moment through the thickly crowded mysteries of that dread time, unto the eternal Father, out of two sinless hearts, that were the hearts of Son and Mother, for the sins of a guilty world which fell on them contrary to their merits, but according to their own free will.”

Uniting my Heart to the Will of the Father
“Teach me, my Lord, to be kind and gentle in all the events of my life; in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others, in the insincerity of those I trusted. Let me forget myself, so that I may enjoy the happiness of others. Let me always hide my little pains and heartaches so that I may be the only one to suffer from them. Teach me to allow suffering to make me patient, not irritable; that it may make me broad in my forgiveness, not narrow or proud or overbearing. May no one be less good for having come within my influence; no one less pure, less true, less kind, less noble, for having been a fellow traveler with me, on our journey towards Eternal Life..”

A letter to YOU, from the Poor Clare Colettine’s TMD
Dear readers, below is a copied email that we received today from the Poor Clare Colettine’s, Wales, UK. They have been part of our group of religious intercessors since we have been online… Please feel free to write them and get on their daily mailing list. They have beautiful reflections each day that will build your courage as a Catholic Christian. God bless!
The Casket of Saint Colette
J+M+A
Dear Little Hearts,
In response to the tears and pain of many mothers and those desiring to be mothers, we are inspired by the Holy Spirit to begin this new simple initiative. This casket will be placed upon the altar every Saturday at St. Colette’s celebration and the praying of the (St. Colette) chaplet. This casket is for the names of unborn life that was lost through miscarriage, and for children who died in their early years. The names will not be read out in public, but will be placed in the casket for the community to pray over… the casket will be placed next to the relic veil of Saint Colette. If you have any names that you would like to send us, please do so, we are here for you.
Lovingly all your sisters
Prayer after loss of a Child
My Darling child, you have gone to Heaven to be eternally happy, and are now in the company of the Holy Innocents there. It was a thing hard for me to understand when you were taken from my arms, for parting with you has caused me grief that few can know. Yet in all my grief I am happy very happy for you, because I know the joy that is yours. Your joy is now my joy too, because I feel I had a part in bringing it to you. Now that you are in Heaven, I realize that you are mine in a truer sense than you could ever be on earth. I cannot lose you through sin. While parting with you was hard, I would not wish you back, because I know that you are happier than I could ever make you here with me. Help me, as you now can with your intercession, that I may be completely faithful to all my duties here on earth and merit to receive you again in eternal joys where there will be no more sorrow or parting from those we love. Amen
Prayers of a Mother
You are still my baby and will surely regard the prayers of your Mother who bore you. So darling, with confidence I speak to you. Intercede for me to obtain the favor that I here ask as a Mother through her child who stands before the throne of God. But, if what I ask is not according to the wisdom and loving designs of Almighty God for me and others, then ask Him to grant what is best according to His good pleasure and to give me the wisdom and faith to conform my will to HIS. AMEN
