Novena Before The Solemnity Of Divine Mercy

Today is Good Friday. Apart from the profound Liturgy of the day of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for us who live the Message of Divine Mercy given to us by Jesus himself through Sister Faustina Kowalska, we remember that on this day we begin the Novena before the Divine Mercy Solemnity. I encourage each and every one of you, my dear readers, to join us in praying the Novena. What you need to od first is to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in preparation of intentions of the Novena you would like to pray for. Jesus promised us through Sister Faustina that He will fulfill those intentions if only they are not contrary to His Father's Will. 

Purpose

On Good Friday Novena before the Divine Mercy Sunday begins. In just an hour or so I, together with my parochial community, will celebrate the Liturgy of the Passion of the Christ, during which, as it has become a custom in Kiabakari, we will say prayers and Divine Mercy chaplet for the first day of the Novena...

Good Friday

No, it is not the Good Friday in the Holy Week I am thinking about. Today is Friday and it has been a very good Friday so far to me...

Fools' Day

It may be an April 1st, the Fools' Day, as the opener of a new month in 2011 calendar, but there is nothing to fool around in this month, to be honest. Rather, a very serious stuff on the way, and what I want to share with you today is no prank or joke whatsoever...

Serious Matters

Every Wednesday is a special day. A day to go for a customary counseling session with the best specialist in the world in serious matters of my spiritual, corporal and psychological worlds. It does not take much time, just a few minutes, but the overwhelming feeling of relief, peace and renewed resolve and strength is a lasting experience...

Epiphany

On Wednesdays I celebrate the Holy Mass with Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. With head and heart heavy with various thoughts, intentions and worries, I knelt down in front of the icon of Our Lady and prayed in silence outpouring my heart to Our Lady asking for intercession and guidance.

When I finished the liturgy and took off vestments, I went back home to get ready for short hop to Zanaki Parish for today's deanery Mass which we are going to celebrate to mark the closing Year of Priests.

I was stopped in my tracks amazed at the God's revelation, I would say - Epiphany, when the heavy overcast heavens opened suddenly and I saw this (I had to rush home to get my camera so I could capture the moment)...

I guess you can take this sign as an answer to my worries? Or maybe a sign that answers will come the day and in the manner God Himself has already planned. I do hope so...
