We are all reading once aging about people being shot and for what reason
Nothing more then hatred and where and when did it all start?
it all started the day that we allowed the authorities to kick God out of our schools and offices, God went out and Satan went in and took full charge.
You talk about gun control we need God to control we need GOD IN CONTROL, we need to get the guns out of the buildings and the bibles back in if we are ever going to have any peace in America. Get the guns out of the homes and of the streets there is far too much killing. Start to fill the churches once again instead of the bars and you will see change.
Allow prayer back in school, welcome God back into your homes, PEOPLE IT HAS TO START WITH YOUR CHILDREN, LOSE YOUR CHILDREN AND YOU LOSE THE WORLD. Guns are not the answer they might make money for some people but at what price to others?

The Hidden Rose
Not one voice alone
But many.
Not scattered
but gathered.
Like beads on a single rosary,
like petals forming one living flower,
hearts are being woven together
in a quiet rhythm of grace.
Each mystery unfolding in its time…
each soul carrying a fragrance
meant for Heaven.
A rose is forming… unseen, yet alive.

O God, who by the apostolic zeal of Saint François de Laval
raised up the Church in Canada and inspired him to be a shepherd after your own heart,
grant that, through his intercession,
We may persevere in faith and charity,
and serve your people’s needs with generous hearts.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Wishing you a blessed celebration of Saint François de Laval’s feast.
HE GIVES STRENGTH FOR THE DAY
He gives us all strength for the day
He gives us what we need,
If we just put our trust in Him
Our worries He will ease.
He tells us He’s our Shepherd
He promised to be our guide,
He makes our load seem easy
As we walk by His side.
If we become down-trodden
With burdens too hard to bear,
Jesus will make them lighter
If we put them in His care.
He tells us He’s our pilot
He’ll guide us all the way,
He’s waiting there to aid us
As we trust Him every day.

New Hope Ministry And Missions (Baptist Ministry)
We call our site NEW Hope but is there really any new hope or any hope at all. When we look around us at the situation of our world with all the hatred, the violence, the molestation and children turning against parents and parents against children, is there really any hope at all? And take a minute to think about all the sickness that has developed, all the new diseases that the doctors have no cure for, and now no vaccine against, people are dying today from diseases that could have been cured years ago, but today have become superbugs.
And what about all the violence on our streets and in our homes, and all the guns that people do not seem to want to give up? All we have to do is turn on the TV and see the shows that teach our children and grandchildren how to commit those crimes. And as far as letting children get away with all these crimes, just try to punish them, you will be the one getting into trouble because you will be charged with child abuse.
New Hope or No Hope, you decide.
Well, we call our site New Hope Ministry because we at the Interdenominational Assembly of Churches believe there is always hope. Regardless of how bad things may seem around you, just stop for a few minutes and count your blessings, and you will be surprised at how many things you have in your life that will give you hope. When you woke up this morning were you thankful that you could see, when you put your feet on the floor did you give thanks that you could walk? Not to mention your family, your home and your job or whatever means of income you can be thankful for. And it doesn’t have to stop there; this world is full of opportunities for you to be thankful.
And as for all the evil that is going on we have one that is greater than us that someday will deal with those people, all we can do is as Jesus commanded us to do and that is, TO every day “is what we strive to give at New Hope Ministries we share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ and dedicated our mission of making new disciples in all nations through our ministries. We sincerely hope that you will consider joining us in teaching the

Begin Your Life With God
As you start your life together
As you’re joined by God above,
Just remember you are guided
By our Heavenly Father’s Love.
As you journey life day by day
As you travel hand in hand,
Remember always trust in Him
Your love was in His plan.
And as you live your life together
As the Lord has planned for you,
And when life’s trials may appear
As trials often do.
Remember just to trust in God
And He will see you through…
And when our dear one leaves us
For their journey far away,
We know if we are faithful
We will join them too someday.
We will greet one another
Around God’s great throne,
We will all be together
When God calls us home.

The altar crucifix is not a decoration. It is a theological anchor placed at the very heart of the altar—where sacrifice, presence, and remembrance meet.
Before every word is spoken, before every prayer is lifted, the Crucifix already speaks.
It does not argue.
It does not explain.
It simply reveals:
Love poured out.
Here, at the altar, we do not remember a distant moment.
We stand at the foot of the Crucifixion of Jesus—
where mercy was opened,
where the Heart of Christ was given without reserve.
The wood of the Cross and the table of the altar are one mystery:
sacrifice and offering,
death and life,
silence and the eternal Word.
And beside the Cross, unseen yet ever present, stands the Mother—
Mary, Mother of Jesus—
teaching us how to remain, how to receive, how to believe.
In every Eucharist,
What is lifted is not only bread and wine,
But the whole offering of Christ Himself.
And we are invited—quietly, freely—
to place our own lives there as well:
our burdens,
our wounds,
our hidden prayers.
Nothing is too small to be united
to so great a Love.
So we look upon the Crucifix…
And we learn again:
not how to speak,
But how to give?
The Altar Crucifix: What we know, and why it matters.
Lord, I offer You this day.
My thoughts, my words, my actions—
united to the Eucharist.
Walk with us today.
Saint James the Less,
close to the Lord, hidden yet faithful,
You stood among the brethren in prayer,
not seeking prominence,
but remaining near to Christ and His Mother.
Pray for me,
that I may be steadfast in quiet devotion,
rooted in humility and perseverance.
With you, I choose to stay in the Upper Room—
until the Spirit renews my life.
Through Mary,
lead me always to Jesus.
Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Your disciples waited together in one accord,
Unite my heart with your Church.
Remove division, impatience, and self-reliance.
As the Apostles gathered with Mary,
teach me to remain,
not to rush ahead,
but to trust in your timing.
May my prayer become faithful,
even when nothing seems to move.
Amen.
🌿 Day 1 — May 1
Entering with Mary
Mary, Mother of Jesus,
Mother of the Church,
You who gathered the Apostles in silence and hope,
Teach me to enter the Upper Room of my heart.
Remove distraction, quiet my fears,
and help me to remain in prayer.
As this month of May begins,
I place myself beside you.
Let my soul learn stillness.
Let my heart learn trust.
Amen.
✠ Marie of the Incarnation — A Flame Across the Ocean
April 30 — Memorial (Canada)
There are souls whom God sends not only to pray… but to build.
Marie of the Incarnation was one of them.
A mother, a widow, a mystic, and a missionary
She crossed the ocean from France to the wild lands of New France,
not seeking comfort, but offering her whole life
for the education of souls and the glory of Christ.
In the silence of her heart, she lived a profound union with God.
In the noise of the world, she founded schools, formed young girls,
and planted the seeds of faith in a new land.
She is called the Mother of the Canadian Church,
Yet her greatness was hidden in humility, obedience, and love.
She teaches us:
— that contemplation does not flee the world, but transforms it
— that mission is born first in union with God
— that even across oceans, the heart can remain anchored in Christ
“My soul is in a continual union with God.”
— Marie of the Incarnation
Today, we remember:
Not just a founder…
but a soul entirely consumed by divine love.
🔥 May her fire awaken ours.

One of four New France Supper Women
Marie of the Incarnation OSU was a French Ursuline nun from Quebec City. As part of a group of nuns sent to New France to establish the Ursuline Order, Marie played a crucial role in the spread of Catholicism there. She was a religious author and has been credited with founding the first girls’ school in the New World.
When Marie was seven years old, she recounted her first mystical encounter with Jesus Christ. In her book Relation, of 1654, she recounted: “…with my eyes toward heaven, I saw our Lord Jesus Christ in human form come forth and move through the air to me. As Jesus, in his wondrous majesty, was approaching me, I felt my heart enveloped by his love, and I began to extend my arms to embrace him. Then he put his arms about me, kissed me lovingly, and said, ‘Do you wish to belong to me?’ I answered, ‘Yes!’ And having received my consent, he ascended back into Heaven (Source: Wikipedia)
