Why not ask your Parish Priest (Pastor)
if your Parish can Celebrate a Rogation Day ?
This gem of devotion from the S. Andrew’s Missal for the 4th Sunday after Easter Octave/5th Sunday after Easter:
ReplyDeleteGospel (John 16:23-30)
St. Augustine says: "He who thinks of Jesus Christ as he ought to think of Him, this man prays in His name and obtains what he asks, if he asks nothing contrary to His eternal salvation; he obtains, when it is good for him to obtain. There are graces which are never refused, but which are deferred and granted at a suitable time. In Christ's name we must ask for whatever helps us to win perfect joy, spiritual joy, and this we will do, if the object of our prayers is the truly happy life. To ask for anything else is to ask nothing, for everything is but as nothing, when compared with so great a good" (Matins).
