WANT MORE FAITH and HOPE in TROUBLED TIMES? WE'RE HERE for YOU!
The “virtual retreats” of Good News Ministries are online prayer and reflection experiences that you can enjoy wherever you are. Some are interactive. Some are prayer-poems. Some are multi-media. Some are in Virtual Reality (and you don’t need headgear to see it). Some are also available as printable PDF documents we’ll send you upon request. Find a quiet time and a quiet place to prayerfully enter into the following opportunities:
1. Posts are held for approval and then forwarded to the Good News Prayer Network. Your prayer intentions are carried to God by countless caring people all around the world.
2. All fields are required! We do not share any identifiable, personal information to anyone. Use only first names in your prayer request. Any information that you give to us is protected with the utmost care and security.
3. Do not use abbreviated words as is done in text messaging, because that makes it difficult for some of your prayer supporters, who come from around the world. If your prayer request is important enough to post here, take the time to spell correctly, please!
4. Use capital letters only where they belong. DO NOT post in ALL CAPS. Capitalize names appropriately.
5. Please, no lazy disrespect for God’s names (Jesus, not jesus). And DO NOT POST FULL NAMES! We want to fully protect the identity of everyone.
6. Limit text to to briefly stated prayers.
7. NO QUOTED (formula) prayers – use your own words.

9-Day Consecration to St. Joseph
Each day of this novena contains a brief story about various apparitions of St. Joseph, with special prayers.
With this consecration, we seal ourselves as his children. We place into his fatherly protection ourselves, our families, our jobs and ministries, and the Church. We also consecrate to his fatherhood those who are not following Christ, especially our own family members, because Joseph’s desire in heaven is that all of his children love his son, Jesus, and follow him to everlasting life.

FORGIVEN
A Meditation on the Passion of Christ Through the Eyes of Peter and Judas
Written with a powerfully life-changing twist, this is not the usual Passion story. “Forgiven” shows the passion of Christ as seen through the eyes of Peter and Judas. Each react in different ways to the final days and crucifixion of Jesus. One chooses forgiveness and the other ends his life in terrible guilt.
The story ends with the reunion of Jesus and Peter after the resurrection when Jesus calls Peter to become the first leader of the Church.
This is a fictional account based on the true events of the Passion of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of meditation.
