From the Diary of Saint Faustina: O Lord, I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor. Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors’ souls and come to their rescue. Help me, O Lord, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors’ needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings. Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all. Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the most difficult and toilsome tasks. Help me, O Lord, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighb...
Lord, we thank You for the gift of Colleen. On this fifth anniversary of her passing, we ask that Your comfort and peace surround all of us who love her and miss her so deeply. This prayer group is her legacy—born in her final days, sustained by her spirit, and filled with the grace she carried so effortlessly. Each Tuesday, as we gather in prayer, we feel her presence among us. May the memory of Colleen continue to bless and guide us. May it bring us strength, comfort, and hope until the day we are reunited with her in Your eternal kingdom. Amen.
Saint Gregory wrote of St. Scholastica and St. Benedict: The witness of these siblings should especially teach us the value of holy friendships that mutually build each other up and give glory to God.  We are made not only for communion with God, but for communion with one another.
Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Matthew 24
  Prayer of Padre Pio Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak  and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life,  and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light,  and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice  and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You  very much, and always be in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is,  I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes;  death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength,  so that I will not st...
