a ray of hope flickers in the skya tiny star lights up way up highall across the land dawns a brand new mornthis comes to pass when a child is borna silent wish sails the seven seasthe winds of change whisper in the treesand the walls of doubt crumble,tossed and tornthis comes to passwhen a child is borna rosy hue settles all aroundyiuve got the feel youre on solid groundfor a spell or two,noone seems forlornthis comes to passwhen a child is bornits all a dream,an illusion nowit must come true,sometime,soo,somehowall across the land,dawns a brand new morn,this comes to passwhen a child is born

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

prayer of the immaculate conception

O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,

did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that,

as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son,

You did preserve Her from all stain,

so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You.

Through the same Lord Jesus Christ,

Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.

Amen.

World AIDS Day

1st December marks World AIDS Day. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. You can do a part by praying for the people affected with the disease. in kenya, where an estimated 20% of people have HIV - the church condemns condoms for promoting promiscuity and repeats the claim about permeability. The archbishop of Nairobi, Raphael Ndingi Nzeki, said: "Aids... has grown so fast because of the availability of condoms."...rmb condoms can still make us 10%++ at risk of the disease.



"Dearest Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe,Mother of the poor and the oppressed,we watch full of reverenceand joy as St. Francis andSt. Aloysius bring the gifts of these two people afflicted with AIDSto the Holy Child in your arms,who is so eager to receive them.Teach us to find and embraceyour Son Jesus in all peoples,but most especially those whoare in greatest need and who suffer most. Amen"

Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.
