Our Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, hear our prayer:

Please weave the women of St. Raphael into a beautiful tapestry of faith and friendship. Let us be woven by your Holy Spirit with our eyes and hearts set upon Christ our Savior. Help us shine with the light of Christ and draw souls to Jesus. We ask this in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.

Via Crucis - the Ninth Station

Posted by our humble, anonymous poet




Ninth Station - Jesus Falls the Third Time

Carrying on His back all the oppressions and sins of mankind,

My Jesus falls for the third time for the lost and the blind,

Broken, depleted, beaten down… but not without will,

To carry the cross of redemption up the Calvary hill.

Complete trust in God the Creator and His amazing love,

Restores Jesus’ body, His mission, Holy Spirit, peaceful dove.

Blessed, I receive His love and give thanks for a heart on fire,

That stays close to my Liberator with every desire.

Believing and discerning that my will must be His first,

Renews my purpose for life, feeds my soul, satisfies my thirst.
