31st Sunday in Ordinary Time 30th Oct: Focus: Receive the Lord with joy & be ready for change. – Zacchaeus was not looking for a miracle; he just wanted to see Jesus. When Jesus called him, he came down quickly with great joy. When Jesus calls us, do we come quickly, or hesitate? Jesus comes to us in the Eucharist. As Zacchaeus did, we ought to receive him with great joy. For Zacchaeus received Jesus & was changed by the encounter. We, too, are meant to be transformed, for the sake of the world.

Open Wide the Doors of Your Home to Christ

Inspired by our founder, Venerable Patrick Peyton, the Try Prayer! It Works! focuses on Father Peyton’s message: "The family that prays together stays together."

Prayer for the Beatification of Venerable Patrick Peyton

Dear Jesus, Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to strengthening the families of the world by calling them to pray together every day, especially the Rosary. His message is as important for us now as it was during his life on earth.

We beg you, therefore, to hasten the day of his beatification, so that Your faithful people everywhere will remember his message that the family that prays together stays together, will imitate him in his devotion to Your Mother & ours, & will be inspired by His holy life to draw ever closer to You with childlike confidence & love. Amen.

"A world at prayer is a world at peace"

The Family that Prays together stays together”
