New project: Faith-builders for the Year of Prayer

On January 21st, 2024, Pope Francis initiated a Year of Prayer in preparation for the Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year.

The pope said that the Year of Prayer is “a year dedicated to rediscovering the great value and absolute need for prayer in one’s personal life, in the life of the Church, and in the world.”

He added, “I ask you to intensify your prayer to prepare us to live this event of grace well and to experience the power of God’s hope.”

The year 2025 will be a Jubilee Year of Hope, the first ordinary jubilee since the Great Jubilee of 2000.

Therefore, the Good News Ministries team and I are working on a new project to help make it easy for you to increase your prayer life and, through it, experience more hope.

For several years, we’ve provided a podcast version of the daily Good News Reflections. Soon we will start another daily podcast called the “Daily Prayer and Reflection.” It will include the Angelus, prayers to Mary and Joseph, the prayer for protection from Saint Michael the Archangel, intercessory prayers, and more — a powerful way to start your day.

The podcast of the Good News Reflection will be incorporated into the middle of it.

My daily reflections are well-known for bringing hope to subscribers, and there’s nothing more powerful than prayer to increase hope. Watch this space for announcements about how to sign up for the “Daily Prayer and Reflection” (it’s free, of course).

This week’s video:
Surviving Grief – My Soul Shall Be Healed

Come see my first public discussion of how I’ve been surviving the unexpected passing of my dearly beloved husband Ralph. Podcaster and Catholic evangelist Ellen Mongan and I cover the difference that Jesus makes during grief, especially in the Eucharist.

Watch the video @ gnm-media.org/surviving-grief-my-soul-shall-be-healed.
