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 Thirteenth Station

Thirteenth Station - Jesus Is Taken Down From the Cross

As Christ is taken down from the cross, I see what does remain,

His lifeless body in His Mother’s arms no longer suffering pain.

How badly I want to touch Him- His holy hands that bless and heal,

But the overwhelming sorrow- like His cross- pulls me down and I kneel.

Desperate to stay close to Him, I know that is part of The Father’s design,

That by Christ’s death I continue to seek Him and live in what is Divine.

God’s will that pleases Him includes acceptance of those who have left,

So in missing those I have parted with, I pray to God they are blessed.

That The Lord may grant eternal joy to those with whom I am separated,

And reunite us in Heaven our final home with love that never faded.
