I know, O LORD, that your ordinances are just, and in your faithfulness you have afflicted me.
R. Lord, let your face shine on me.
According to your ordinances they still stand firm: all things serve you.
R. Lord, let your face shine on me.
I am your servant; give me discernment that I may know your decrees.

REFLECTION
Lord, let your face shine on me.
In Numbers 6: 24-26, we read the birthday wish: The LORD bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Seven years ago PAPA (Priest Always Prayer Apostolate) had a dream. Our mission was to pray for priests and recruit kindred spirits to join us. We want priests to be holy like Christ. We want to see priests who adore Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, who love His Church and who are willing to live and lay down their life for His people.
PAPA places itself under the patronage of St John Vianney (patron saint of priests) who said, " A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind" and St Alphonsus Liguori (patron of confessors), āThe dignity of the priest is so great, that he even blesses Jesus Christ on the altar as a victim to be offered to the eternal Fatherā.
We ask for the protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of our Lord.
Our members reside in Australia, England, Netherlands, Mexico, and United States. We pray for priests and each other, serve by prayer, words and deeds and bless all. We are blessed to have a spiritual advisor, Father Michael Truongluan, who leads our retreats, conferences, pilgrimages and weekly bible studies via zoom ( FACE ZBS), PAPA Joe helps the needy children of Venezuela.
Please visit our website, papamio.org , view our bible study sessions (FACE ZBS), and homilies and activities
Wishing the very best to PAPA for continued many years of praying for our priests.
God Bless You
