• Here's a teaser - Once Our Lord said to her, "My daughter, I will place you among the Seraphs, among the virgins whose hearts are flaming with the love of God. "How can that be," she asked, "since I have spoiled myself with so many sins?" "My daughter, your many penances have purified your soul from all the effects of sin to such a degree that your contrition and sufferings will reintegrate you into the purity of a virgin." For her love of chastity she would be "placed among the virgins."

#Prayer Intentions (Please reply to this email if you have prayer intentions and we will include it in next week's e-bulletin!) 

Father God, hear our prayers for:

• Our EW Community: Lord keep us single-minded in our desire to be converted and to grow in our faith, guide our discernment and lead us in the way You will 
• The Nativity Youth Camp: Lord please be with the planning committees as well as the participants in this last leg of preparation for the camp; may you fill their hearts with a deeper desire for you and may more people be brought closer to you through these activities
• All our community members who are struggling in some aspect of the life: Pour our your Holy Spirit upon them to empower them and take away their difficulties, so that victory over the trials they face may give you glory and bear witness to your love, mercy and providence
• All our families and friends: we ask that you heal those who are unwell and give courage to those who are going through difficult times  
• Our Holy Father Pope Francis, Our dear Archbishop William Goh and all priests : please provide our precious shepherds with every wisdom, strength and grace that they need as they minister to a world so in need of Christ 
• All the needy, the poor, and those who have no one to pray for them: we implore you to hear their cry and we ask that the world and ourselves may be moved in charity to reach out to those in need. 

We ask all this in confidence through Jesus Christ our Lord. Mary our Mother, pray for us. Holy Spirit, be our guide.  

Amen!
