In this Easter season during the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, let us then take a pause, reflect, pray and ask ourselves:
Am I strengthened and moved by Christ’s paschal mystery that I believe in Him?
How do I proclaim the Risen Christ in my family and community?
As a witness of Christ’s saving acts, do I preach God’s love with joy?
As Communicator of the Gospel, how do I concretize my witnessing in my family, in my workplace and in communities where I belong?
Prayer:
Almighty and Loving God, thank you for blessing us with your grace of love and mercy. As you ascended to heaven, you have made us stronger in our faith and resolved with the assurance of the Advocate. You actually have not left us alone, but the Advocate is coming as sent by the Father in your name. We are filled with joy as you returned to the Father and now sits at his right side. May the teachings and examples of Jesus your Son be our inspiration and guide as we work for the fulfillment of the mission which Christ had entrusted to his disciples and to us. This we ask through Christ our Lord, who lives and reign with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Intentions: Let us pray for all Social Communicators—the journalists, writers, reporters editors, readers, reviewers, publishers, and all media practitioners and media educators; may the Lord keep them safe and protect them as they perform their task and duty to tell and defend the “Truth.†May they become committed and responsible in the conduct of their tasks, be it in mainstream or alternative media.
We pray to all the mothers of the world, may the Lord bless them with the grace of good health, joy and the grace of age. Happy Mothers’ Day to all the mothers!
We also pray for the successful and peaceful national elections in the Philippines on May 9, 2016. May all Filipinos be responsible in the exercise of their rightful duty to suffrage and to vote maturely, responsibly, and honestly.
