L'ultimo giorno dell'anno
Un pensiero tratto dal “Diario” di Santa Maria Faustyna Kowalska
Lunedì 31 dicembre 2018
L’ultimo giorno dell’Anno
In un attimo il Signore mi ha fatto conoscere i peccati commessi nel mondo intero in questo giorno. Sono svenuta per lo spavento e, nonostante che io conosca l’abisso della Divina Misericordia, mi sono stupita che Iddio tenga in vita l’umanità. Ed il Signore mi ha fatto conoscere chi è che sostiene l’esistenza dell’umanità: sono le anime elette. Quando il numero degli eletti sarà terminato, il mondo cesserà di esistere (Diario, 926).

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Eternal God, we pray in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, for Mali, Chad, Niger, Mauritania and Burkina Faso.
We know that in our part of the world some people are getting carried away by hatred – people who are unable to think clearly, and turn furiously on the people whom you have placed in this part of the world to enjoy your creation and witness to you. We pray for girls and boys, women and men, children and adults, and the elderly, for you to grant them peace, your peace. In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, change the hearts of all those who are carried away by hatred, that they may find in you the Hope of Salvation, and that they may become messengers of peace for ever.
We thank you, Lord, for you are faithful to your promise.
Glory and praise be given to you for ever and ever. Amen
(Pastor Kinda Tegwende Leonard/Sore Mahamoudou, Burkina Faso.)
Prayer for Mauritania
Your land, O Lord, is divided
and suffers from fighting between your children.
Injustices of all kinds, hatred and bitterness
are part of the daily life of the people.
Families seek reconciliation.
Tribes and ethnic groups need reconciliation and peace.
The country needs to be restored and reconciled with itself
in order to deal with its past.
The downtrodden still struggle to live a decent life.
The powerful continue to exploit the powerless and the voiceless.
Send your Holy Spirit to reveal your presence and might to all.
May your name be feared and judgment brought upon those
who continue to oppress the little ones.
Enter into hearts and lives and change them to become havens of love.
(© Dr Colette Bouka Coula, Cameroon, former staff member of the Lutheran World Federation in Mauritania)
Prayer for Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania
God, our Father, we bless you
for the gift of life that you grant us,
that strength of faith,
so fragile and so powerful,
which is nourished by the assurance of your love.
We pray to you, Lord,
for the sustenance of life for the people of these five countries,
Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania.
Stir up the strength and courage of all those who are engaged
in lifting these countries out of poverty.

Prayer: Lord, I come to do your will
Lord, allow my ears to listen to the cry of the earth,
the voices of my sisters and brothers,
those who face the hash reality of climate change.
Lord, I come do your will.
Lord, allow my eyes to see the beauty of creation.
In flowers, creatures, forests, and cities alike.
Lord, I come do your will.
Lord, allow my voice to speak out for justice,
and ensure people living in poverty are heard.
Lord, I come do your will.
Lord, allow my hands to care for the earth,
To toil, to recap, to celebrate.
Lord, I come do your will.
Lord, allow my feet to take the path less trod,
to walk the extra mile,
to take your message out to the world
Lord, I come do your will.

Suscipe Prayer - St Ignatius of Loyola
Suscipe Prayer
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
My memory, my understanding
And my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours;
do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
That is enough for me.
- St. Ignatius of Loyola

The life of St David
The earliest biography that we have about St David was written about 500 years after his death, so it is difficult to know for certain which of the legends and traditions about him are true.
St David is believed to be the son of King Santof South Wales and St Non. He was ordained as a priest, lived as a monk and later became the Bishop of Meneviaand Archbishop of Wales. Tradition teaches that while on pilgrimage to the Holy Land he was consecrated as an archbishop by the Patriarch of Jerusalem. This is also an example of one of St David’s missionary journeys.During his life, St David founded a number of monasteries. The monks were known for eating and drinking very little –water and bread with salt and herbs, perhaps watercress –while ploughing the fields without oxen and looking after the beehives during the day, and praying and studying in the evenings. The monks were not allowed any personal possessions –it was an offence to say “my book”.The monks also provided hospitality, food and clothes to pilgrims, other travellers and people living in poverty in the local community.This simple life meant that David became known as DewiDdyfrwr, David the water drinker. Despite his frugal vegetarian diet, which no doubt included leeks, one of the symbols of Wales, he is reported as being tall and strong.There are many legends about St David. One of the best known is that as he was preaching to a crowd of people, a hill rose up where he was standing so all the people could see him, and a dove landed on his shoulder. This is where the village of LlanddewiBrefiis today. It is also said that he cured his elderly teacher, the monk St Paulinus, of blindness.In his sermon the Sunday before he died, St David said:“Be joyful and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have heard about and seen me do. I will walk the path that our fathers trod before us.”
St David’s body was buried in the grounds of his monastery, where the Cathedral of St David now stands.
