Original Poem inspired by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John prayer. Wrap me in Thy arms, O Christ divine, Let Thy presence in my heart shine. In the love of Christ, forever strong, I lay me down, where I belong. Angels near, with wings unfurled, watch over me, in this great big world.n Bless this bed, my cosy nest, Where dreams take flight, at their best. May peace and calm in my heart surround, As I sleep safe and sound. Grant me dreams that are sweet and bright, filled with love and gentle light. And when the morning sun does rise, awaken me with joyful cries.  Amen. Other Night time Prayers:    Nighttime Blessing: Dear God above, so kind and true, thank you for the day we've had, thank you.

Guardian Angel's Watch: Angel dear, so pure and bright, watch over me throughout the night. Guide my dreams, keep me from harm, hold me c...

Yes, it's Valentine's Day, February the 14th and guess what it's also Ash Wednesday the beginning of Lent 2024. Usually on Valentine's Day, restaurants are booked till the tilt, there are red roses with chocolates and champagne on ice. Endless possibilities. Romance is in the air and a lot of people go all out to express their love to each other, yada yada yada. This year, a lot of people, especially Christians will probably be pondering how they are going to amalgamate the two events, as during Lent, we as Catholics are not allowed to have any meat products (abstinence) and required to fast. It will also be very challenging if a person has certain dietary requirements. Well, the only answer I can come up with is before any love of mankind,  loving God is first and foremost because God is Love. Use this moment of praying, fasting and abstinence as a moment to reflect and be grateful to God for his en...

Stepping into your Catholic faith as a young person can feel like navigating a labyrinth. You are trying to find a balance between your faith and the everyday challenges that life throws at you. It is a journey filled with highs and lows, questions, doubts, and moments of enlightenment. I remember, as a young catholic, I struggled with my faith. My mother was a typical catholic who instilled in us children the deep catholic faith, but for some reason I was not getting it and boarding school was not helping. Now with hindsight, if I had to speak to my 16-year-old self, I would have wanted better guidance. Henceforth, this guide is meant to offer young people a roadmap as they learn to harness our faith in their journey as a young Catholic. Understanding the Essence of Catholic Faith. Catholicism isn't merely a checklist of principles or codes of behaviour. It's a profoundly intimate journey towards forging a stronger bond with God. At the heart of this faith lies the teachings o...

I am not one to preach but one of the ways I have enhanced my catholic faith is to read some books.  I was in the library the other day and they did not have much selection dedicated to the catholic ministry, neither did I find any religious section, howevver, I was pleasently surprised that my sister gave me a stash of catholic books when she relocated.
