  • My crucified Lord, I gaze upon the crucifix and see in Your death the greatest act of love ever known. Give me the grace I need to follow You to the tomb so that Your death will triumph over my sins. Free me, dear Lord, during the Lenten journey so that I will be able to fully share in Your new life of the Resurrection. Jesus, I trust in You.
  • Watch the official trailer for the 2021 World Wildlife Day Celebration on the theme of "Forests and Livelihoods: Sustaining People and Planet". The theme seeks to shed light on the links between the state of our planet’s forests and of the millions of livelihoods that depend directly on them, with a particular attention to the experiences and traditional knowledge of the communities who have managed forest ecosystems and its wildlife for centuries.
  • Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Jesus, I trust in You.
  • My glorious Bridegroom, You have instituted the Church upon the rock foundation of Peter’s faith. Peter and all of His successors are Your precious gift to us all. Help me to see beyond the sins of others, the scandals and divisions, and to see You, my Lord, leading all people to salvation through Your bride the Church. I renew my faith, this day, in the gift of this One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.  Jesus, I trust in You.
  • Reflect, today, upon the importance of fasting and mortification of the flesh. These penitential acts are not usually desirable at first. But that’s the key. By doing that which our flesh does not “desire,” we strengthen our spirit to take greater control, which enables our Lord to use us and direct our actions more effectively. Commit yourself to this holy practice and you will be amazed at how transforming it will be.
  • The work of youth Oranee Jariyapotngam highlights a project about mother-tongue based multi-lingual education (MTB-MLE). She supports equitable quality education for disadvantaged indigenous children by promoting the use of their first language.
