Daily Prayer For Life  

by  Msgr. Charles Mangan  

  Lord our God, the Creator of life, how wonderful is Your Name throughout all the earth! O Jesus, our Redeemer and Friend, at the heart of Your saving message is the Gospel of Life - the "Good News" for people of every age and culture. Help us, Your servants, to promote and defend the life of preborn babies, the elderly, the sick, the orphaned, the poor, the physically and the mentally challenged, the imprisoned and those threatened by war, violence, indifference and false compassion. Inspire us to proclaim Your Gospel of Life with honesty an charity, never shirking our grave responsibility to be the light in our society. O Mary, Mother of the living and bright Dawn of creation, who with Saint Joseph gratefully accepted the Child born for us, pray that we will courageously build the Civilization of Truth and Love to the glory of the Most Blessed Trinity. Amen.

"Mission is a duty about which one must say, 'Woe to me if I do not evangelize'    (1 Cor 9:16)...It is love that must move us to proclaim to all people with frankness and courage the truth that saves - a love that must radiate everywhere and reach the heart of every human being. Indeed, people await Christ."

With Gratitude and Admiration Reflecting On The Legacy of Pope JohnPaul II  

By Msgr. Charles M. Mangan

  "Pope John Paul II believed that God would care for him in the midst of the heavy trials he had to confront: the deaths of his parents and brother, the diabolical oppression of Nazism and Communism directed towards his beloved Poland, the unspeakable agony of seeing many refuse to embrace Christ, His Church and His life-giving message.

By Msgr. Charles M. Mangan  

Eternal Life Publishing

"As Pope Paul VI declared, in conformity with the tradition that "each and every marital act must of necessity retain its intrinsic relationship to the procreation of human life," it is a truth not accepted in many quarters today. It is the truth, nonetheless, and must be promulgated....Young, old or in-between, we will all find a new depth and clarity to the high expectations that Christ, through His Church, calls us to in matters of human sexuality." -Eternal Life Publishing

The Sanctity of Marriage  

Legal Recognition for Homosexual Unions?

By Msgr. Charles Mangan

Eternal Life Publishing

Much attention has been paid during the last few years, both in legislatures and by the media, to the question of whether homosexual relationships should be recognized by the civil authority in a way similar to marriage. Because this important matter relates to the Natural Moral Law, the reflections offered by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in its publication of June 3, 2003 entitled Considerations Regarding Proposals To Give Legal Recognition To Unions Between Homosexual Persons, “are addressed not only to those who believe in Christ, but to all persons committed to promoting and defending the common good of society.” -Eternal Life Publishing

Prayer to the Virgin Mary Before Holy Mass (for Priests)

from The Roman Missal

  

Mother of mercy and love, Blessed Virgin Mary, I am a poor and unworthy sinner, and I turn to you in confidence and love. You stood by your Son as He hung dying on the Cross. Stand by me, also, a poor sinner, and by all the priests who are offering Mass today here and throughout the entire Church. Help us to offer a perfect and acceptable sacrifice in the sight of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, our Most Holy God. Amen.
