♦ From early childhood, Margaret was described as showing intense love for the Blessed Sacrament, and as preferring silence and prayer to childhood play.

♦ After her First Communion at the age of nine, she practised in secret severe corporal mortification, until rheumatic fever confined her to bed for four years.

♦ At the end of this period, having made a vow to the Blessed Virgin to consecrate herself to religious life, she was instantly restored to perfect health.

♦ From the time she was twenty, she experienced visions of Christ, and on December 27, 1673, she began a series of revelations that were to continue over the next year and a half.

♦ Christ informed her that she was His chosen instrument to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart, the Nine Fridays and the Holy Hour, and asked that the feast of the Sacred Heart be established.

♦ The *FEAST DAY* of *ST. MARGARET MARY ALACOQUE* is *OCTOBER 16*.

♦ We will begin praying the above novena � on *SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7*!

[5:24am, 9/27/2017] ‪+263 73 843 0699‬: *Wednesday, September 27, 2017 >> St. Vincent de Paul*
Ezra 9:5-9
Tobit 13:2-4, 7-8
Luke 9:1-6

*DEALING WITH REJECTION*

*"And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” Luke 9:5*

This is a bold statement from Jesus. It’s also a statement that should bolden us in the face of opposition.

Jesus had just finished telling His disciples to go from town to town preaching the Gospel. He instructed them not to bring extra food or clothing on the journey but, rather, to rely upon the generosity of those to whom they preach. And He acknowledged that some will not accept them. As for those who do in fact reject them and their message, they are to “shake the dust “ from their feet as they leave the town.

What does this mean? It especially tells us two things. First, when we are rejected it can hurt. As a result, it’s easy for us to sulk and stew over the rejection and hurt. It’s easy to sit and be angry and, as a result, to allow the rejection to do us even more damage.

Shaking the dust from our feet is a way of saying that we ought not allow the hurt we receive to affect us. It’s a way of making a clear statement that we will not be controlled by the opinions and malice of others. This is an important choice to make in life when facing rejection.

Secondly, it’s a way of saying that we must keep moving on. Not only do we have to get over any hurt we have, but we need to then move on to seek out those who will receive our love and our message of the Gospel. So, in a sense, this exhortation from Jesus is not first about dealing with the rejection of others; rather, it’s primarily about seeking out those who will receive us and will receive the message of the Gospel we are called to give.

Reflect, today, upon any hurt you still carry in your heart because of the rejection of others. Try to let go of it and know that God is calling you to seek out others in love so that you can share the love of Christ with them.

*Prayer*: Lord, when I experience rejection and hurt, help me to let go of any anger I have. Help me to continue with my mission of love and to keep sharing Your Gospel with those who will receive it. Jesus, I trust in You

� Initiating a great movement of devotes and apostles of Divine Mercy who would lead people toward the renewal of Christian life in the spirit of this devotion;
� In other words, in the evangelical spirit of a childlike confidence in God and an active love of neighbour.

� The *FEAST DAY* of *ST. FAUSTINA* is *OCTOBER 5*.

� We will start praying the *NOVENA* to *ST. FAUSTINA* on *TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26*.

__

3⃣ *OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY*.

This Feast day is celebrated on *OCTOBER 7th*!

� The Blessed Virgin Mary promised to Saint Dominic and to all who follow that "Whatever you ask in the Rosary will be granted."

� The purpose of the Rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation.

�The main focus is on Jesus – his birth, life, death and resurrection.

�The *Our Fathers* remind us that Jesus' Father is the initiator of salvation.

�The *Hail Marys* remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence.

�The *Glory Be...* remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.

� The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christ-centered prayer. It has all the depth of the gospel message in its entirety.

�It is an echo of the prayer of Mary, her perennial Magnificat for the work of the redemptive Incarnation which began in her virginal womb....

�We will start *PRAYING* this *NOVENA* on *THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th*


*WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO PRAYING WITH ME AND FOR YOU.* �

*God bless you! *

Ah don't believe it! Somebody just told me now about how Twist of Fate ended. Are these Zee World scriptwriters sick, or are they just twisted? What was the sense in making Pragya go through all that sacrifice, pain, heartache and stress only to now discover that Abhi has lost his memory after the accident, while Aaliyah along with Tanu are given the sadistic pleasure of kicking her out??! Are these scriptwriters allergic to happy endings? Why didn't they just end the series at the part where Abhi and Pragya declared their undying love for each other? Chai!

Namaste!
I believe that another season will be produced again just like the Vow.
pls chill up. I umderstand how u feel.

Lets bear in mind that the ongoing Novena prayer to The Archangels should be said on a daily basis for nine(9) days. Its my earnest prayer that God may answer our petitions brought before him. Through Christ our lord. Amen

���✝✝✝
St. Michael the Archangel, loyal champion of God and His people, I turn to you with confidence and seek your powerful intercession. For the love of God, Who made you so glorious in grace and power, and for the love of the Mother of Jesus, the Queen of the Angels, be pleased to hear my prayer. You know the value on my soul in the eyes of God. May no stain of evil ever disfigure its beauty. Help me to conquer the evil spirit who tempts me. I desire to imitate your loyalty to God and Holy Mother Church and your great love for God and people. And since you are God's messenger for the care of his people, I entrust to you this special request:

Help us in our daily needs. Through your powerful intercession, may we live a holy life, die a happy death, and reach heaven where we may praise and love God with you forever. Amen.
St. Gabriel the Archangel, I venerate you as the "Angel of the Incarnation," because God has specially appointed you to bear the messages concerning the God-Man to Daniel, Zechariah, and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Give me a tender and devoted Mother, more like your own. I venerate you also as the "strength from God," because you are the giver of God's strength, consoler and comforter chosen to strengthen God's faithful and to teach them important truths. I ask for the grace of a special power of the will to strive for holiness of life.

I put my confidence in you. St. Gabriel, I ask you especially for this favor:

Through your earnest love for the Son of God-Made-Man and for His blessed Mother, I beg of you, intercede for me that my request may be granted, if it be God's holy Will.

You live and reign for ever. Amen. Holy Archangel Raphael , standing so close to the throne of God and offering Him our prayers, I venerate you as God's special Friend and Messenger. I choose you as my Patron and wish to love and obey you as young Tobiah did. I consecrate to you my body and soul,all my work, and my whole life. I want you to be my Guide and Counselor in all the dangerous and difficult problems and decisions of my life.
Remember, dearest, St. Raphael, that the grace of God preserved you with the good Angels in heaven when the proud ones were cast into hell. I entreat you, therefore, to help me in my struggle against the world, the spirit of impurity, and the devil. Defend me from all dangers and every occasion of sin. Direct me always in the way of peace, safety, and salvation. Offer my prayers to God as you offered those of Tobiah, so that through your intercession I may obtain the graces necessary for the salvation of my soul. I ask you to pray that God grant me this favor if it be His holy Will:

I'll introduce and post subsequent Novena in due time. Pls lets do well to follow up any Novena at the appropriate time. Remember that The main aim of praying Novena is to develop the culture of prayer notably in Catholics that they may learn to appreciate what they have and are. Hence lets create time to pray NOVENA faithfully and always have an intention even if not for anything but for the gift of life. Appreciate God! Taste and See that the Lord is good. Amen


The Next Novena to be posted will be in honour of the Archangels (St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael)
This Novena will commence on the 20th September and the feast day on the 29th September
. It shall be said daily for the next nine days
I dedicated this Novena for the Travellers, the Sick, the Applicants, the Students and for our own private intentions.
May God answer our prayers through Christ our Lord. Amen

Lets start by knowing the meaning of Novena
A Novena is a series of powerful prayers that are said for nine(9) consecutive days unfailingly. Equally, it could be said for nine(9) consecutive weeks or months or as Mother Theresa disignated it, an Emergency Novena or Express Novena- a recitation of nine(9) consecutive Memorares.
The word 'Novena' comes from the Latin language 'Novem' meaning Nine. The first Novena to be practised was carried out by the Apostles and Blessed Virgin Mary; after the Lord's Ascension, they returned to Jerusalem in obedience to the Lord and devoted themselves to constant prayer (Acts 1:12-14). Nine days later, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles on Pentecost. Thus, this Nine days period of prayer of the Apostles is the basis for the Novena.

Why do we say Novena?
Novena can be a public or private devotions. Generally, we say Novena to obtain special Graces, Favours, Blessings and to gain Indulgence. Usually, we say Novena to make special petitions and needs. Sometimes, we say Novena as a prayer of thanksgiving in obedience to the word of God 'be thankful always'

Omo Igbo will not kill me,they want to make me bankrupt.The film they are selling hundred naira is now 150 to top it again,one season of a korean film you will see only two episodes there.For example,i bought the king loves and i met only two episodes in season 1(one episode is only thirty minuets),the other seasons has three episodes.
Same thing was done to queen for seven days.I am not buying film again,i am now borrowing or read the recaps of the episode on google

Buying CDs is a thing of history for me. I get decieved and humiliated for it. That's why I resolved to downloading and watching online.
Imagine that u bought CDs, tried it and see that its not working. Return it back to the club only for the club owners refused and reject it saying 'it has been switched' sth in less than hour and why would I do that? piled up similar plates? for what?
The whole thing becomes annoying to me and then I give up. I give up on going to Video clubs, give up on buying CDs and so till infinity.
