PRAYER FOR SAINT RAFQA
We implore You Saint Rafqa, You who walked on our soil, among our oaks and rocks, who lived among your sisters, the nuns, in Your monastery.
Blessed Sister, daughter of our land and cedars, we implore You to be our guiding light and our example in bearing the sufferings with love and joy.
Saint Rafqa, our Patron and Sister, let peace reign in our country; sanctify our monasteries and churches; grant Your visitors and those who ask for Your intercession the graces that they need; cure sick people with Your blessed soil; comfort sad people; bless our children and young; raise our orphans; let our harvest be abundant; let our homes be full of blessings; let our work be prosperous; bless our workers; feed hungry people; accompany our emigrants to come back to their homeland; pray for dead people.
Teach us dear sister, to pray like You did for Our Christ and Savior who made You share his sufferings and imprinted his wounds on Your body adding to them the sixth wound, and who made You a messenger of faith, joy and love.
So that we thank the Virgin Mary and glorify with You the Father the son and the Holy Spirit, forever.
Amen.
Our Lady of Knock

Dear Friends of Hannah’s Tears,
If you have a chance, please watch the YouTube video of Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, it is truly beautiful. They are a wonderful example of what we are all called to be in the sacrament of matrimony.

Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin
John 12:24
Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
Let us be that grain of wheat… May the Holy Eucharist which feeds us bring us the strength and courage to fulfill our duties and offer our sufferings each and everyday.
Please remember to pray for each other throughout the week as we strive to live out our vocations within the sacred union of Holy Matrimony. God bless you all each and everyday and know that you are loved by your family within our Catholic faith. Peace and blessings!!!
Oh, and don’t forget if you have a prayer request please share it with us…

Pilina was inspired to offer up her own suffering in hope of helping others who were ill. We also pray that we may learn to offer up our own sufferings in hopes of helping those who are also suffering with the many crosses endured in the sacrament of matrimony. May we always draw near to Our Mother in Heaven who will always help us in our own sorrows.

Prayer of St. Faustina before the Eucharist
I adore You, Lord and Creator, hidden in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I adore You for all the works of Your hands, that reveal to me so much wisdom, goodness and mercy, O Lord. You have spread so much beauty over the earth and it tells me about Your beauty, even though these beautiful things are but a faint reflection of You, incomprehensible Beauty. And although You have hidden Yourself and concealed Your beauty, my eye, enlightened by faith, reaches You and my soul recognizes its Creator, its Highest Good, and my heart is completely immersed in prayer of adoration.
My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here You light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature.
O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen.

Every problem, every pain, place in Our Lady’s hands.
She will see that everything is taken care of
as she places them before Her Son.
