Holy Thursday Meditations


And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? (Mark 14:37)

 He came back and found his disciples sleeping. So he said to Peter, “Can’t any of you stay awake with me for just one hour?" (Matthew 26, 40)

Lets go to Gethsemane and spend some time with the Lord.

Psalm 18

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

I love you, Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
    and I have been saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me;
    the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

St Patrick's Breastplate



    I bind to myself today
    The strong virtue of the Invocation of the Trinity:
    I believe the Trinity in the Unity
    The Creator of the Universe.

    I bind to myself today
    The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
    The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,
    The virtue of His Resurrection with His Ascension,
    The virtue of His coming on the Judgment Day.

 A closer look at the remarkable beading and pearls and lace on her veil and dress

Dance for me: The veiled bride arrived in the men's section of the wedding as the male well-wishers, wearing their traditional shtreimel hats, danced to fulfil the Mitzvah tantz part of the wedding, where men and honored rabbis are invited to dance for the bride

Day 35

Consolation Prayers

 PRAYER: O merciful and loving Jesus Christ, You suffered sorrowfully and fearfully in the Garden of Gethsemane. Thus You said, "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death." We console Your Sacred Heart which bears much pain. You suffered scourging at the pillar and crowning with thorns for us to be reconciled with God. Nevertheless, many innocent souls are being aborted daily and their cries wound Your Sacred Heart. We pray You to forgive men all their trespasses.

May the voices of the heavenly Cherubim and Seraphim console You, and may the tone of the evangelization of this world comfort You. Amen.

Our Father*…Hail Mary*…Glory Be*…

Day 34

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
    Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
    to my cry for mercy.
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
    Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
    so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.

Day 29

Psalm 94
The Lord will avenge the just
God punishes wicked conduct; he has called you to share his holiness.
You must have nothing to do with impurity (1 Thessalonians 4:6-7).
I
O Lord avenging God,
avenging God, appear!
Judge of the earth, arise,
give the proud what they deserve!

How long, O Lord, shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked triumph?
They bluster with arrogant speech;
the evil-doers boast to each other.

Lenten Meditation Day 24

 Hosea 14
Repentance to Bring Blessing
Return, Israel, to the Lord your God.
    Your sins have been your downfall!

2 Take words with you
    and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
    “Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
    that we may offer the fruit of our lips.

3 Assyria cannot save us;
    we will not mount warhorses.
We will never again say ‘Our gods’
    to what our own hands have made,
    for in you the fatherless find compassion.”

4 “I will heal their waywardness
    and love them freely,
    for my anger has turned away from them.
