Welcome to the on-line faith sharing space of the Women of St. Raphael
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.
As we journey towards Easter our hearts begin to be opened to the promise of Mercy. Pope Francis announced this year to be the extraordinary jubilee Year of Mercy.
But what does that really mean? What is mercy and how is it practiced?
What is a Blessing? To bless a person is to say "I see God's goodness in you." To bless another is to speak and transfer that divine goodness which encourages the other to see it too. We all need encouragement.
