Hello

 Fr. Ripperger explains the sacrament of Confession and challenges Catholics to confess properly. He also discusses the importance of doing an examination of conscience regarding the commandments. This is the first part where he discusses commandments 1-5.  https://youtu.be/nH-a7Uds3HM?si=5x96VsmTpw3XxX-_ Please note that viewing and sharing these videos are part of Penanceware.

I recently noticed these prayers in my church missal. They are for preparing before receiving communion and for the proper effects of communion after mass. From the preeminent theologian, Saint Thomas Aquinas:  Prayer before communion:  https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions/prayer-before-mass-325 Prayer after mass:  https://www.stmarycherryhill.org/home/180021590/180021590/Images/St%20Thomas%20Aquinas%20after%20Communion.pdf

 Happy St. Joseph’s Day. He is the Patron of Fathers, Families and the Universal Church among other things like a holy death. Sharing 2 prayers, the first is one I believe from Pope Francis which invokes his guidance and protection and for Eucharistic revival.  https://archatl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/st-joseph-prayer-en.pdf The second is the Litany of St Joseph. This is a call to him under his many names ex: “Pillar of families” “Hope of the afflicted”… https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions/litany-of-st-joseph-247 May St. Joseph guide and protect us in this life and help us reach the glory of heaven, amen.
