Thank you Magdalena!

We have a special affinity towards St Bonaventure, as he is our nuptial patron.  One year anniversary tomorrow.

Commemoration from tomorrow's Vespers (DA):

Commemoratio S. Bonaventurae Episcopi Confessoris et Ecclesiae Doctoris

Ant. O right excellent Teacher * Light of the Holy Church, Bonaventure blessed lover of the Divine Law, pray for us to the Son of God.

V. The Lord guided the just in right paths.
R. And showed him the kingdom of God.

Let us pray.

O God, Who gave to thy people blessed Bonaventure as a minister of salvation, grant, we beseech thee, that we who cherished him on earth as a teacher of life, may be found worthy to have him as an intercessor in heaven.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

R. Amen.

Congratulations to you both!  I was told by our mutual friend, Domitilla, that your wedding was probably the most beautiful wedding she had ever been to.   I will offer my communion for you tomorrow.  

 

 

It was quite a blessing to attend Mass today celebrated by Fr. Hewko. Thank you for the well wishes and prayers Domitilla and Magdalena!

Pierce, O most sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, and with true, calm and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with entire love and longing for Thee, may yearn for Thee and for thy courts, may long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.
Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the Bread of Angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and super substantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delightful taste.
May my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, Whom the angels desire to look upon, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst for Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the fullness of the house of God;
may it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, come up to Thee, meditate on Thee, speak of Thee, and do all for the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, with perseverance to the end; and be Thou alone ever my hope, my entire confidence, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession, my treasure; in Whom may my mind and my heart be ever fixed and firm and rooted immovably. Amen.
