I am just writing to say ' Hello' and God bless and telling you how much I enjoy following your blogs. I am so happy that you have taken the time to follow mine. You see in New Zealand we have no FiF and the only way to be a Faithful Anglican Catholic is to move to the TAC.I am hoping to be priested on the feast of Saint Norbert on 6 June 2009 in Brisbane, Australia.

Lenten blessings,

O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. O Jesus, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen.
