The month of April is dedicated to the Holy Eucharist.
Lent is still on.
"And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert, For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man lives not by bread alone, but by every word of God." (Luk 4:1-3).
Fasting and prayer existed already some 2000 years ago :
"This kind can come out only by prayer"
(Mark 9:28).
It is common to pray the Stations of the Crossduring Lent, and in particularly during the final weeks of Easter.
Our Step-by-Step Rosary partner has produced a webpage, created shortly before Easter 2020 - as we all realized that the hiearchy were going to shut down and lock us out of our Church.
The idea, at the time, was to offer people the opportunity to copy and post our images, and place them, in the yard, house, or apartment - using the texts to manage to do the Stations of the Cross.
It was created, developed and amended during an annual pilgrimage to Lourdes (8 years), praying the stations of the Cross at the end of Prairie, next to the river Gave.
It took some three years pilgrimage before we had a decent material to use. This is what is used in our own parish church.
Pope Francis seems to feel better which is wonderful.
We continue to pray for the state of his soul, and we pray for his conversion.
March is dedicated to Holy St. Joseph, the guardian of the Holy Family and Terror of demons.
Sancte Ioseph, terror daemonum, Ora pro nobis!

Our Step-by-Step Rosary community partner, PrayRosary.info offers our Step-by-Step Rosary structure in English as our website focuses on offering the Rosary in several local languages.
If the family prays together, it remains together!
We will continue to offer the Nine-Month Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe, prayer for the one who wants to continue praying it. We believe it is of great importance to increase our Rosary prayers and prayers now.
Let us all pray that every Catholic in our own country, return to Our Lady!

PRAYER
of the nine-month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe
March 12 - Dec 12, 2024
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation.
So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray.
Amen.
March, 2024

PRAYER ACCORDING TO THE POPES INTENTION
The Raccolta, ed. 1910, #23.
There are people who, today, have difficulties of praying for the Popes intentions - but - few knows of what the intentions are:
"The Pope’s intention always includes the following objects:
i. The progress of the Faith and triumph of the Church.
ii. Peace and union among Christian Princes and Rulers.
iii. The conversion of sinners.
iv. The uprooting of heresy.
These intentions may be fittingly recalled and prayed for after Communion, or at the visit;
but a general intention of praying according to the mind of the Pope is sufficient ; and any prayers may be used which are not already of obligation, e.g., the Little Hours of a priests Office.
(July 12, 1847; May 29, 1841.)"
