Jesus told his disciples, “I have called you my friends.” May we learn to imitate Jesus in being a good friend. In this time of prayer, we consider, what are the attitudes, the virtues of a true friend?  Do we turn to Christ when we find it difficult, do we ask him for the help to be a good friend? A meditation by Father John Agnew.

October, a month dedicated to the rosary, is an excellent time to consider: Does the rosary have a place in my life? The rosary is a powerful weapon. Through the rosary, let us enter into the school of Mary, accompanying Mary lovingly as she teaches us to contemplate the life of Jesus.  A meditation by Father John Agnew.

All of us can become saints.  But we need to re-focus our attention from ourselves to Christ, so we can follow in his footsteps. And we know that Mary, the mother of Jesus, will be a powerful ally in our effort to follow her son.

The angels are extremely powerful beings. They are just as real as the person sitting next to you, and they are sent to guide and protect us. Let us ask our guardian angels to help make us more aware of Christ's presence, to help us in our warfare of holiness, our struggle to bring the teaching of Christ Jesus into our daily lives.

Jesus told the woman at the well in Samaria, "If you only knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'give me to drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." Let us say to Jesus, "Lord, increase my faith," so that we recognize the gift of God, Jesus who has come into this world to save us, Jesus who comes to bring us eternal life.

A meditation by Father Thomas Bohlin.

Even at the foot of the Cross, we have the great joy of knowing that God loves us, that the gates of heaven have been opened to us. Let us respond, with the help of Mary, and Joseph, and all the saints, by putting our trust in the Lord, and doing the good that Christ asks of us.

A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

Christ died for us; what have we done for Christ? Let us return love for love, meeting him in the Eucharist. Let us ask Mary to help us rediscover Christ, making him our most dear friend. May this friendship guard my heart and guide my life. A meditation by Monsignor Thomas Bohlin.
