Looking towards Lent

Hello and welcome....I hope through writing on here I can add another voice, however small, to the multitude of voices throughout the world who spread the Good News of Our Lord. The aim is to allow the words of the Bible, Christ and the Holy men and women throughout the ages to speak through me, and that God-willing, His love for mankind and the hope, grace and strength He gives to us, will reach out from this blog to help someone in need, to help someone find their Saviour in Christ. 

This blog is hopefully a response to an encouragement from the Holy Father, Pope Francis, on evangelisation, from the Apostolic Exhortation; Evangelii Gaudium, or The Joy of the Gospel - 

"The joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness. With Christ, joy is constantly born anew. In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelisation marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church's journey in years to come."

To finish this post, I humbly ask of Our Mother of Perpetual Succour to intercede before God for the souls of all who may visit this blog. One of the prayers in the novena to Our Mother, or Our Lady, of Perpetual Succour ends with this invocation: "O Mary, help me, O Mother of Perpetual Succour, suffer me not to lose my God. Amen".

Blessed be God.
