- NovenaSUNDAY - 11/08/2024 PRAYER INTENTIONS Environmental Concerns Pray for wisdom and awareness in environmental stewardship. Pray for global efforts to protect the environment and preserve God's creation. MEDITATION 🎈(Genesis 1:31) - God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. In the creation account, God looked upon His creation and saw that it was very good. He entrusted us with the stewardship of His creation. As we pray for environmental concerns, we can ask for Mary's intercession to help us recognize the beauty and significance of God's creation. We can seek her guidance in being responsible stewards of the earth, caring for its resources and protecting it for future generations. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Act of Contrition My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.Amen Come Holy Spirit Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen. The Lord's Prayer 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. The Memorare Remember , O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen OPENING PRAYER.... Lord Jesus Christ, You have destroyed the power of death and given the hope of eternal life in body and soul. You granted your Mother a special place in your glory, and did not allow decay to touch her body. As we rejoice in the Assumption of Mary, give to us a renewed confidence in the victory of life over death. You live and reign forever and ever. Amen. DAY 6- NOVENA OF OUR LADY OF ASSUMPTION Mary, our dear Mother and mighty Queen, take and receive our poor hearts with all their freedom and desires, all the love and all the virtues and graces with which they may be adorned. All we are and all we might be, all we have and hold in the order of nature as well as of grace, we have received from God through your loving intercession. Help us dear Mother to surrender to God all that we have including our petitions. O Mary, Queen of Creation, inspire in me a reverence for all living beings and help me protect our planet. Our Lady and Queen, into your gentle hands, we entrust all, that it may be returned to its noble origin. O Queen Assumed into Heaven, pray for us. Amen. Prayer for Earth's/ Environment's Care Heavenly Father, we come before you with hearts filled with gratitude for the gift of your creation. As we gather in prayer, we lift up our environmental concerns and personal intentions, seeking your guidance and blessings. [Pause to mention personal intentions] In the reflection of Our Lady's assumption and the message it brings, we are reminded of the sacred responsibility you bestowed upon us to care for the Earth, your magnificent creation. Just as you looked upon all that you had made and saw that it was very good, we recognize the beauty and importance of every aspect of nature. We pray for global efforts to protect the environment and preserve the intricate balance of life that you designed. May our actions be driven by love and respect for your creation, and may we always remember our role as stewards of this precious gift. Grant wisdom and courage to world leaders, scientists, and individuals working tirelessly to find sustainable solutions to environmental challenges. May they be inspired by your divine wisdom and guided by compassion in their decisions. Help us to be mindful of our daily choices and their impact on the environment. May we cultivate habits of conservation, waste reduction, and responsible consumption, always striving to be good stewards of the resources you have provided. We also bring before you our personal intentions, knowing that you are a loving and attentive God who hears our prayers. Strengthen us in times of difficulty, inspire us in times of doubt, and lead us on the path of righteousness and environmental stewardship.

- Masomo ya Misa Kila SikuRANGI YA KILITURJIA: KIJANI KIBICHI 💚 SOMO LA KWANZA 1 WAFALME 19:4—8 Kutokana na nguvu ya chakula hicho, alisafiri hata akafika mlima wa Mungu. Somo katika kitabu cha kwanza cha Wafalme Siku zile: Eliya alienda siku nzima jangwani, hadi alipofika chini ya mti wa mzeituni, akaketi chini yake. Akasali akiomba kifo, "Sasa yatosha, ee Bwana! Uondoe uhai wangu, kwa maana mimi si mwema kuliko baba zangu." Akajilaza chini ya mretemu, akalala usingizi, lakini mara malaika akamgusa, akamwambia, "Simama, ule!" Akatazama, kumbe, akaona mkate umeokwa juu ya makaa, na gudulia la maji kichwani pake. Akala, akanywa na akajinyosha tena, malaika wa Bwana akaja mara ya pili, akamgusa, akasema, Simama, ule maana safari hii ni kubwa mno kwako!" Akasimama, akala, akanywa; na kutokana na nguvu ya chakula hicho, akasafiri kwa muda wa siku arobaini mchana na usiku hata akafika Horebu mlima wa Mungu. NENO LA BWANA... TUMSHUKURU MUNGU ZABURI YA KUITIKIZANA ZABURI 34:2—3, 4—5, 6—7, 8—9 (K. 9a) K. Onjeni, mwone jinsi Bwana alivyo mwema. Nitamtukuza Bwana kila wakati; sifa zake zi kinywani mwangu daima. Nafsi yangu itajisifu katika Bwana wanyonge wasikie na kufurahi. K. Mtukuzeni Bwana pamoja nami: tuliadhimishe jina lake pamoja. Nilimkimbilia Bwana, akanisikiliza, akaniopoa katika hofu zangu zote. K. Mtazameni Mungu mkafurahiwe na nyuso zenu zisihuzunike. Mnyonge huyu alilia, naye Bwana akamsikiliza, akamwokoa katika shida zake zote. K. Malaika wa Bwana ameweka kambi kwao, kuwazungukia wale wamchao Mungu na kuwaokoa. Onjeni, mwone jinsi Bwana alivyo mwema; heri mtu yule anayemkimbilia. K. SOMO LA PILI WAEFESO 4:30—5:2 Mpendane daima kama Kristo alivyotupenda. Somo katika barua ya Mtakatifu Paulo kwa Waefeso Ndugu zangu: Msimhuzunishe Roho Mtakatifu wa Mungu aliyewatia muhuri wake, mpate kuwa tayari siku ya ukombozi. Kila uchungu, hasira, chuki, kelele, matukano na kila aina ya ubaya viondoshwe kati yenu. Muwe wema ninyi kwa ninyi, mhurumiane na kusameheana kama Mungu alivyowasamehe ninyi katika Kristo. Hivyo fanyeni bidii kumwiga Mungu kama watoto wapenzi. Mpendane daima kama Kristo alivyotupenda na kujitoa sadaka kwa Mungu kwa ajili yetu, ndiyo harufu nzuri ya kumpendeza Mungu. NENO LA BWANA... TUMSHUKURU MUNGU SHANGILIO LA INJILI YOHANE 6:51 K. Aleluya. W. Aleluya. K. Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima ulioshuka toka mbinguni, asema Bwana; aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele. W. Aleluya. SOMO LA INJILI YOHANE 6:41—51 Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima ulioshuka toka mbinguni. †Somo la Injili takatifu ilivyoandikwa na Yohane Wakati ule: Wayahudi walimnung'unikia Yesu kwa sababu alisema, "Mimi ni mkate ulioshuka toka mbinguni." Wakasema, "Je, huyu si Yesu, mwana wa Yosefu? Twamjua baba yake na mama yake. Awezaje kusema Nimeshuka toka mbinguni?" Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, "Msinung'unike ninyi kwa ninyi. Hakuna awezaye kuja kwangu, asipovutwa na Baba aliyenituma, nami nitamfufua siku ya mwisho. Imeandikwa katika vitabu vya manabii: Wote watafundishwa na Mungu.' Kila amsikiaye Baba na kujifunza kwake anakuja kwangu. Si kwamba mtu amemwona Baba, ila yeye atokaye kwa Mungu; huyu ndiye aliyemwona Baba. Amin, amin, nawaambieni, anisadikiye anao uzima wa milele. Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima. Baba zenu walikula mana jangwani, lakini wakafa; huu ndio mkate utokao mbinguni, ili mtu aulaye asife. Mimi ndimi mkate wa uzima ulioshuka toka mbinguni; aulaye mkate huu ataishi milele, na mkate nitakaotoa mimi ni mwili wangu kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu." INJILI YA BWANA... SIFA KWAKO EE KRISTO
