β¨ Prayer for Deceased Relatives and Friends
Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life, you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away β welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping, or pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
Amen.

π A Prayer to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Jesus Christ, you have risen from the dead and now reign with your Father in heaven.
You are truly present here in the Blessed Sacrament, and truly present when we receive you at Mass.
Your presence proves your love and care for us β you are our Lord and our God.We pray to you now, confident that you will listen to us.
Increase our faith; strengthen our hope; widen our love.

Be present with us always and increase Godβs life within us.
May your presence be a sign and source of love in the world.Amen.

β¨ Reflection
What is Godβs plan for your life?
Godβs plan for every human being is that we enjoy the happiness and blessing of His divine life in this world, and the next.
In short, God wants us to be happy and blessed, and by His grace we are.Our vocation to live in the power of the Holy Spirit invites us to live the Beatitudes daily, to strive for holiness and sanctity.
Each day, we face choices: to live for God or for ourselves, to choose life or death, good or evil, happiness or unhappiness.
Blessed are we when we choose God.
