italo:


Thanks bro Syncan. Nice to hear from you.

Allow me to invite our fellow Catholics.

Forgive me...let there be too many mentions...but I don't want anyone to be left out because he/she 'didn't see it.'

Two questions:

Can I moderate?

Why are we calling a 31-day devotion "novena?"

Without undermining SalC, I am sure it will be a pleasure to us that you moderate, God bless you bro.


As per the second question, see this:

"While the word novena comes from the Latin novem, meaning "nine," the term has also come to be used generically to refer to any lengthy series of prayers.
Thus, the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena is recited for more than nine days, between the Feast of St. Andrew (November 30) and Christmas."

Thanks for the enlightenment.

I'll start working on moderating immediately.

Syncan:

Not yet. I'm in a place where I'm not able to watch at the moment. Will do ASAP

I choose 20th and I hope my goodnews land before, then.

So far, we have:

15th - Rich4god
23rd - Sal C
26th - MarvellousGod
27th - Syncan
31st - Kamsified

Still waiting on others to choose their dates.

May I suggest that people should also mention their prayer intentions if they wish...

I choose 13th

Noted.

May God look favourably on your petition.

However, remember that this devotion is an opportunity to connect ourselves to God via prayer, good works and avoidance of sin. Not just for the month...but forever.

May God give us the grace to seek first the kingdom...and everything else shall be added.

While we countdown to the beginning of our Novena, I wish to share a testimony from our May devotion.

I told you that I was travelling to Lagos to meet my girlfriend's mum to ask her hand in marriage. It was one of my intentions that the Lord should grant me favour.

I was well received. The man they swore would resist (on tribal sentiments)...what did he say?

"It's okay...as long as he's a good person. Let's just follow it up with prayer."

We are about to go to marriage class.

Please continue to pray for me.

@ Italo , Good to hear.. God makes all things possible. . God that has begun the good work will see it to completion and also grant you a happy home, Amen.


Btw, I chose 16th, not 26th. .

God bless us all...

@italo, thanks for volunteering.


And congrats and God's favour in your marriage stuff.

Pls can we set October 1st aside for Nigeria?
And I choose 2nd,for my mum. Thanks.

Happy married life in advance.

Yeah that was why I mentioned you, just choose a date

Today's Gospel LK9:57-62

As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus answered him, “Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.” And to another he said, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.” But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.”
And another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” Jesus answered him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”


Have you ever had this feeling...like where you say to yourself "Sister ChineloSA is old already that's why she isn't ashamed to put on a scapular, when i get to her age too I'll not care about people looking at me so I can wear". Again, how many of us have had this feeling "Brother Ichiato is already married so he can afford to receive communion regularly, when I get married, nothing will hinder me again from regular communion". Cute1bliss bro, have we never differed a good act for sometime later when it is expected to be convenient to do? Emyben,today Jesus says that now is the time to do it, at whatever state you are right now, you should be at right with God. Stunningjudy, at whatever state you are now, you should do that which is right. Babestell, Each stage has it's own challenges, and for every condition in life, know that there is one(a saint) who must have experienced worse and still overcame, and may stand in judgement against you on that day if you fail to overcome. Pray for courage. Tomorrow we commence our 31days of daily rosary(5 decades/1 chaplet) devotion, what is gonna keep you from joining, When will it be favorable for you to participate? In the first reading, Nehemiah took courage and made his request to the King Neh. 2:1-8, and his request was granted "The king granted my requests,for the favoring hand of my God was upon me." May the favoring hand of our God be upon us all as we receive answers to our petitions.


Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

Sure. It's a family that does not discriminate. You are most welcome.
