Pope’s February prayer intention: ‘
For children with incurable diseases’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-REFhEErYHA
Pope Leo’s prayer for children with incurable diseases
Lord Jesus,
who welcomed the little ones in your arms and blessed them tenderly,
today we bring before you the children living with incurable illnesses.
Their fragile bodies are a sign of your presence,
and their smiles, even in the midst of pain, are a testimony of your Kingdom.
We ask you, Lord, that they may never lack proper medical care,
human and compassionate attention,
and the support of a community that accompanies them with love.
Sustain their families in hope,
in the midst of weariness and uncertainty,
and make of them witnesses of a faith that grows stronger through trial.
Bless the hands of doctors, nurses, and caregivers,
so that their work may always be an expression of active compassion.
May your Spirit enlighten them in every difficult decision,
and grant them patience and tenderness to serve with dignity.
Lord, teach us to recognize your face in every suffering child.
May their vulnerability awaken our compassion,
and move us to care, accompany, and love
with concrete gestures of solidarity.
Make of us a Church that,
animated by the feelings of your Heart
and moved by prayer and service,
knows how to uphold fragility,
and in the midst of suffering, becomes a source of comfort,
a seed of hope, and a proclamation of new life.
Amen
Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet
Through Scripture, reflections, and questions for personal and group use, the Office for the New Evangelisation’s combined Lent to Easter Reflection Booklet supports individuals, families, ministries, and communities as we journey inward to receive God’s love more deeply, and outward to share that love with others. Our Lenten practices do not end with Lent, but continue into Easter, where we renew our baptismal call to live as God’s holy people.

No Cross, What A Cross!
Date: 6 – 8 March 2026
Time: Friday, 7pm – Sunday, 1pm
Venue: Montfort Centre, 624 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, S678212
What does the Cross mean in your life – a burden to avoid or the very source of God’s wisdom and power?
This Lenten retreat invites you to rediscover the Cross through the words of St. Paul and the spiritual insight of St. Louis Marie de Montfort, who teaches that God has enclosed in the Cross an abundance of grace, life, and even joy, known only to those who befriend Him. What the world calls foolishness, God transforms into salvation, reminding us that perhaps the greatest cross of all is not having one.
