Evening Prayers April 9 2009

Per the rubrics, Evening Prayer on Holy Thursday is said only by those who do not participate in the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper.

GO TO MASS.

Stay with the Lord for at least an hour. (“Can you not watch with me one little hour?”) If your parish doesn’t offer an opportunity for adoration after the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, visit a neighboring parish.

Cya in the morning.

Doubt is not opposed to Faith

Fr. Boy has been known to say upon occasion:

“Doubt is not the enemy of faith. Doubt strengthens faith. Indifference is the enemy of faith.”

Apparently St. Charles Borromeo agrees:

“Such is the nature of faith that the more are the obstacles it encounters, the more ardent it becomes.”

Morning Prayers April 9 2009

Audio of Morning Prayers for April 9, 2009.

Psalm 80; Isaiah 12:1-6; Psalm 81; Hebrews 2:9-10

From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office. In this way the Church fulfills the Lord’s precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world. Join me in praying the Liturgy of the Hours today and throughout the lenten season.
