NOVENA TO DON BOSCO - DAY 7

28th January, 2017: Don Bosco - A lover of the young

Our Challenge: That we understand our call to love the young, those in our care, those who depend on our goodness 

Our Prayer:

Lord God, thank you for Don Bosco, a man who loved what the young loved, in order to make them love what they ought to love. Like Don Bosco, grant us the grace to place always the needs of the others, especially those who depend on us in some way, before any of our needs. May we be sacrificing enough to give up anything for their good and for their salvation. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen

WORD 2day: 27th January, 2017

Do not draw back

Friday, 3rd week in Ordinary time
Heb 10: 32-39; Mk 4: 26-34

In a true struggle, in a sincere rethinking or in a serious growth process there sure is one rule that we need to take to heart:  do not draw back. Do not withdraw. Keep fighting even if you think you are buried... you will one day arise to shine!

NOVENA TO DON BOSCO - DAY 6

27th January, 2017: Don Bosco - Father and Friend of Youth

Our Challenge: That we understand our call to have a filial attachment to Don Bosco, as a man who had a special charism from God! 

Our Prayer:

Lord God, thank you for Don Bosco, a man who loved the young genuinely, with the heart of a father and friend. Grant us the grace of loving people with sincerity of heart. May we make a difference in the lives of those who are around us, that they may feel related to us - as father, or friend, or guide or companion! May our relationships be genuine and life changing that we may be efficacious agents of your Reign on earth. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen
