Dear Newsletter subscribers of the Catholic Doors Ministry,
HOMILIES
Greetings in the Most Holy Name of Jesus on this beautiful Feast of the Visitation of Mary. With the closing of the month of Mary (May), we are now entering the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This great Feast will be celebrated on June 27 th, followed by the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the following day. For your personal spiritual growth, you may wish to read the daily homilies that are associated with these Feast. (See below under "homilies.")
As of May, 2003, the Catholic Doors Ministry (CDM) has been evangelizing on the internet for 4 years, enjoying its birth in May, 1999. During this short period, the CDM compiled nearly 6,000 files. These are presently enjoyed by over 100,000 visitors per month who download nearly 1,000,000 files per month.
The Catholic Doors Ministry enjoys the largest collection of English Catholic Prayers on the internet, this collection numbering 738 prayers as of this date. This webpage has become one of our most popular ones, followed by the homilies, the graphics and the Bible courses. On that webpage, you will find prayers for all kinds of needs. You are invited to visit this webpage if you have not done so as of yet. (See link below.)
During May, emphasis was placed on expanding our Novena webpage. 15 new ones were added as you will see below.
With the official beginning of the Summer months during June, let us pray for each other's safety at home, at work, at the Lake while camping, swimming, boating or even while fishing. I urge everyone to play it safe, always keeping Jesus in your heart, in your thoughts, your words and your actions. If you are not sure about something, ask yourself, "What would Jesus say?" or "What would Jesus do?" Strive to shine in a Christlike behaviour as your assurance of continuous descending graces from the Lord upon your person.
May I remind you not forget to receive the Church Sacraments on a weekly basis, including attending Holy Mass on Sundays. There is no holiday in the Christian life! May Jesus always be with you.
In the love of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Maurice Levesque
