O most holy Virgin

who didst find favor in God’s sight and hast become His Mother;

O Virgin, immaculate in body and soul,

in thy faith and in thy love,

look down with pity on the wretched

continues, alas, to attack and ensnare the…

Prayer to Saint Barbara

St Barbara,

you are stronger than the tower of a fortress

and the fury of hurricanes.

Do not let lightning hit me, thunder frighten me

or the roar of canons jolt my courage or bravery.

Stay always by my side so that I may confront

all the storms and battles of my life

with my head held high and a serene…

O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.

"Let us today entreat the most Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, not only for ourselves, but also for our families, for all those who surround us. That they may come to the light of Our Lord Jesus Christ who know Him but little, who do not obey him, who distance themselves from Him. Let us have pity on all those souls who do not know the King of love and of glory – in Whom we have the happiness to believe, Whom we have the happiness to love."

Dear Crusaders,

On Thursday, 23rd October 2018, I trundled across the M4 into Wales - to The Church of St. David, in Llanthony an ancient chapel that provided a recuperation place and a haven of peace for the tired St. David (Sant Dewi in welsh) in the 6th Century, after serving the missions across the mountains of Wales on foot and sometimes on a mule.  I was distracted by so many earthly concerns that I'd like to request prayers for the intentions of that pilgrimage together with…

Today am visiting the relics of St. Bernadette at the Cologne Cathedral on its tour over Germany.. I'm taking all your petitions and prayers with me.

Excerpts:

"The faithful should unite with the Church in this her intention, and offer to God their fasting and abstinence for the purpose of obtaining worthy ministers of the Word and of the Sacraments, and true pastors of the people." --  …

yesterday on the 18th August I took a pilgrimage to the Carmelite monastery in Aylesford where St Simon Stock received the scapular from Our Lady of Mount Carmel in a vision. She promises that those who wear the brown scapular will not perish in the eternal fire. 

The friary was founded by Simon De Montfort of the Crusades who had rescued the devotees of  the…
