 Welcome to the Chapel of Saint Reparatus (Martyred for charity towards Pagans, 353 AD. His remains are enshrined at the Franciscan Church in beautiful Bratislava, Slovakia.) Dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Patron Saint Francis of Assisi, and Saint Reparatus. This humble online chapel is further dedicated to all persecuted people where ever and who ever they may be and, especially to all our children, no matter what color, what creed, what state, noble and poor; who remain sweet and innocent in the eyes of the One Creator. Please take your time to linger here in meditation or if you prefer you, may want to follow the simple service outlined here. What ever you desire to do, know that you are loved and cherished by the Heavenly Creator, the Great Spirit of All, the Universal Love that dwells within all the seen and unseen. IN THIS SEASON OF THE LORD CHRIST'S RENEWAL, MAY ONE AND ALL, FRIEND AND FOE, BE BLESSED AND LEARN THE LESSONS OF LOVE THAT NO ONE MAY BE ANOTHER'S FOE AND THAT ETERNAL PEACE MAY REIGN SUPREME UPON THIS WOUNDED EARTH FOREVER.  In the Name of the +Father, the +Son and the +Holy Spirit. Amen. Introit Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; For He is our God; And we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His Hand. (Ps. 95) Prayer of Confession and Contrition Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell. But most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. An Act of Faith I believe that God is Love, and Power, and Truth, and Light; that perfect justice rules the world; that all His children shall one day reach His feet, however far they stray. I hold the Fatherhood of God, the Family of man; I know that I do serve Him best when I serve His family on this Earth. So shall His blessing and peace rest on us for evermore. Amen. Please now take sometime to gaze upon the Cross and with humility, remember the sacrifice that was made upon your behalf to bring you life and hope. You may also want to take some quiet time to read some of your favorite Bible verses. You could also read other uplifting and positive passages from a variety of sources that promote love, peace and kindness towards one another and our world. The Light of Christ shines in some very surprising places! The Jesus Prayer and Spiritual Communion Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy upon me, a sinner. Amen. I believe that you, O Jesus, are present with me now. I love you and desire you. Come into my heart. I embrace you. Oh never leave me. May the burning and most sweet power of your love, O Lord Jesus, I pray you, absorb my mind that I may die through love of your love, who were graciously pleased to die through love of my love. Amen. The Peace May the peace of the Lord be with us now and forever. Amen. The Blessing May the Lord bless us and keep us and let His light and love shine upon us from this day and forever. In the Name of the +Father, the +Son, and the +Holy Spirit. |
