Praying Catholics

First Prayer O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith. “Protectress of the Roman people”, you know our needs, and we know that you will provide, so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this time of trial.

MERCY AND SIN 1846  The Gospel is the revelation in Jesus Christ of God's mercy to sinners. 113  The angel announced to Joseph: "You shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." 114  The same is true of the Eucharist, the sacrament of redemption: "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." 115 1847  "God created us without us: but he did not will to save us without us." 116  To receive his mercy, we must admit our faults.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 117 1848  As St. Paul affirms, "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more." 118  But to do its
