Nowenna za seminarzystę Filipa (patrz PS na dole)

Novena for Philip Johnson

(November 30th through December 8th)

Father all-powerful and ever-living God,

you chose the Immaculate Virgin Mary,

the mother of your Son, to be the mother and help of all Christians.

As she endured her bitter agony

at the cross of her Son, she was consoled by you

with the hope of His resurrection.

Now, in heaven

she consoles with a mother’s love all who turn to her with faith,

until the day of the Lord dawns in glory.

~Pray the Memorare~

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,

implored your help or sought your intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,

I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;

to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in your mercy hear and answer me.

~We pray~

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

we are filled with confidence that your prayers on our behalf

will be graciously heard before the throne of God.

Bring our seminarian, Philip Johnson, healing, peace, courage and strength

as he shares in the suffering of your Son.

O Glorious Mother of God,

in memory of your joyous Immaculate Conception,

hear our prayers and obtain for us our petitions.

Zajęło mnie pisanie "Mojego 13 Grudnia" w odpowiedzi na apel TVP Info. Swoją stronę oddaję dziś nowennie za chorego kleryka w diecezji w USA. O sprawie dowiedziałem się poprzez profil Johna Boever na Fb. Lincoln znaczy coraz więcej w moim życiu.

Według tego obrazu wykonana jest figura Matki Bożej Annopolskiej, która czuwa nad naszą rodziną i niejednym księdzem. Obiecałem biskupowi z Raleigh modlitwę za Filipa na katechezach. Jesteśmy JEDNYM POWSZECHNYM I APOSTOLSKIM KOŚCIOŁEM.
