Monthly Commemoration of St Cajetan/Conmemoracion mensual de San Cayetano

At the threshold of a new year we entrust ourselves and all

we hold dear to God, his Holy Mother & St Cajetan.

May we go forward trusting in God's Holy Providence

that everything that now afflicts us will be put right and turned to the good.

We especially pray for all those who are unemployed and fear for their futures.

St Cajetan on his monthly day of commemoration asks us to have hope and to trust in God's bounty, to look to the future and not to surrender to our doubts and fears.

O Glorious St Cajetan, Father of Divine Providence, help all those who are unemployed, who search for employment and who fear for their jobs, lead them towards what they are looking for and pray for us all that we may be courageous in the face of adversity

Safe Under Our Holy Mother's Mantle

Beneath your compassion,

We take refuge, O Mother of God:

do not despise our petitions in time of trouble:

but rescue us from dangers,

            only pure, only blessed one.

Hymn To The Mother Of God - John Taverner

"In You, O Woman full of Grace,
The angelic choirs and the human race,
All creation rejoices!

O sanctified Temple,
Mystical Paradise, and glory of Virgins.

In You, O Woman full of Grace,
All creation rejoices.
All praise be to You!"
