Prayer & Adoration at Portiuncula Chapel
Showing Up is Enough ~ the Power of Presence: When you are too tired or broken to pray, simply showing up and sitting in silence is a profound act of love and trust. The "I Don't Know How" Prayer: Saying "I don't know how to be with You right now" is actually a very deep, sincere, and humble prayer that God values more than eloquent, hollow words. Intimacy is Availability: The core of intimacy is simply being available to God, even in the silence. #JourneyingTowardsHoliness..

A Prayer to St Stephen (First Christian Martyr, Feast Day 26 December)
🌿🌷☘️ St. Stephen (died 36 CE, Jerusalem; Feast day 26 December) was a Christian Deacon in Jerusalem who is believed to have been the first Christian martyr. His apology before the Sanhedrin (Acts of the Apostles 7) points to a distinct strand of belief in early Christianity. His defence of his faith before the rabbinic court enraged his Jewish audience, and he was taken out of the city and stoned to death. His final words, a prayer of forgiveness for his attackers (Acts of

Eucharistic Adoration & Holy Hour (18 & 21 Nov)
☘️🌷🌿 What is Eucharistic Adoration? When you reflect on this reality, it truly is incredible: Spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, in prayer, in devotion and in contemplation, is exactly the same as spending time before the Living God.
