(†) 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.
Pope St. Clement I of Rome
35-99
Feast Day: November 23
Saint Clement was an early successor to St. Peter, installed as Pope in the year 88, and one of the 5 Apostolic Fathers, who provide a direct link between the Apostles and later generations of the Church Fathers. He’s a contemporary of St. Paul and is mentioned in Philippians 4:3. St. Clement's First Epistle to the Corinthians condemned the unauthorized and unjustified division between the laity and clergy, urging charity to heal this rift. It’s said that he was miraculously saved from martyrdom when he was cast into the sea with an anchor bound to him.
