Something to think and pray about this week
brought to you by Sacred Space
If Jesus were to appear in our world, he would be born unnoticed, to a good, struggling family in Ecuador, Uzbekistan or some place usually out of the news. People would be puzzled, "Where is that place?" He would not be on television, nor would he occupy a centre of power or wealth. He would be pushed around, slandered and criticised. He would speak simple truths and some would listen to him and recognise the voice of God. The good news would spread slowly, as it did two thousand years ago. It would graft onto whatever was good in the world. The brokers of power and wealth would not notice it, nor offer their sponsorship. The happy irony of today is that after the first two thousand years, the good news is so widespread that, whether they know it or not, the whole human race is richer for Jesus' birthday.

3 Daily Prayers
Novena of Confidence to the Sacred Heart
“O Lord, Jesus Christ
To Your Most Sacred Heart,
I confide this intention ...
(Here mention your request)
Only look upon me
Then do what Your Heart inspires ...
Let Your Sacred Heart decide ...
I count on it ... I trust in It ...
I throw myself on Its mercy ...
Lord Jesus! You will not fail me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in
Thy love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy Kingdom Come.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked for
many favours, but I earnestly implore this
one. Take it, place it in Thy Sacred Heart.
When the Eternal Father sees it covered with
Thy Precious Blood, He will not refuse it.
It will no longer be my prayer but Thine, O Jesus.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I place my trust in Thee.
Let me never be confounded. Amen.”
— Catholic Prayer
The Memorare of St Bernard
“Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to Thy protection, implored Thy help
and sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto Thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother!
to Thee I come, before Thee I stand, sinful
and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my
petitions,
but in Thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen”
— Catholic Prayer
Prayer to St Michael the Archangel
“St Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day
of battle,
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares
of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the Power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits,
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen”
Mary, Queen of Holy Angels, pray for us!
