(†) Pelo sinal da Santa Cruz, (†) livrai-nos Deus, Nosso Senhor, (†) dos nossos inimigos, (†) em nome do Pai e do Filho e do Espírito Santo. Amém.

Oração do Anjo

Meu Deus, eu creio, adoro, espero e amo-Vos. Peço Vos perdão para os que não creem, não adoram, não esperam e não Vos amam. (Rezar três vezes)

Santíssima Trindade, Pai, Filho, Espírito Santo, adoro-Vos profundamente e ofereço-Vos o preciosíssimo Corpo, Sangue, Alma e Divindade de Jesus Cristo, presente em todos os Sacrários da terra, em reparação dos ultrajes, sacrilégios e indiferenças com que Ele mesmo é ofendido. E pelos méritos infinitos do Seu Santíssimo Coração e do Coração Imaculado de Maria, peço-Vos a conversão dos pobres pecadores.

Concedei-nos, Mãe Santíssima, as graças de que necessitamos para cumprir fielmente a vontade de Deus, Vossos pedidos em Fátima e, em particular, a graça que vos pedimos nesta Novena: (faça o pedido), se for para maior glória de Deus, honra Vossa e proveito de nossas almas. Assim seja.

Oração do dia

Ó Rainha da Paz e Mãe nossa piedosa, enquanto sobre a Europa ameaçava a iminente desgraça da guerra mundial, indicastes aos pastorzinhos de Fátima o modo de nos livrar de tantas calamidades com a recitação do Rosário e a prática da penitência, obtende-nos de Deus que floresçam entre nós, com a fé e as virtudes cristãs, a paz e a prosperidade pública, pela honra Vossa e de Vosso divino Filho.

- Ave Maria...

- Virgem do Rosário de Fátima, rogai por nós.

St. Dismas

Feast day: March 25

Patronage: repentant thieves, prisoners, undertakers

Saint Dismas was the good thief crucified with Jesus on Calvary. This is what St. Luke writes about him: 39 And one of those robbers who was hanged blasphemed him, saying: If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Neither dost thou fear God, seeing; thou art under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done no evil. 42 And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with me in paradise. Luke 23:39-43

Celebrada no domingo após o Natal, a festa da Sagrada Família convida os fiéis a voltar o olhar para o lar de Nazaré e a reconhecer a família como dom de Deus. O Catecismo recorda que a maior parte da vida de Jesus transcorreu no silêncio de uma existência comum, e que é por esses caminhos simples que todo homem pode unir-se a Ele.

O Evangelho afirma que Jesus “era-lhes submisso” (Lc 2,51). O Filho eterno de Deus santificou a vida doméstica pela obediência concreta a Maria e José, mostrando que a rotina familiar — trabalho, dever e oração — é verdadeiro caminho de santidade.

A Igreja ensina ainda que a família cristã é a Igreja doméstica. Ela não é apenas parte da Igreja, mas torna visível o que a própria Igreja é: uma comunhão de pessoas unidas por Cristo. No lar, a fé se aprende, a caridade se pratica e a vida cristã se forma desde cedo.

Nesta solenidade, recordemos que a família não é uma invenção cultural, mas obra de Deus.
