has prepared a briefing which gives a step by step guide to
completing
the consultation questionnaire. Please go to

Ethical Nature of the various vaccines: It seems this is the
case: Ethical: Novavax, Merck , Sanofi, Pfizer-BioNTech. We are
encouraged to promote the ethical vaccines, while recognizing that
due to the remote nature of its connection it is not a sin to take
any of the vaccines. For more details about Moderna, which was
taken off the above list, and the issues with Pfizer vaccine, which
just about stays on, see

Prayer for the year 2021: The Angel’s Prayer
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee
profoundly. I offer Thee the
most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ
present in all the tabernacles of
the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and
indifferences by which He is offended.
By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary I beg the
conversion of poor sinners. Amen. A prayer given to the three
children of Fatima by the Angel of Peace. There was a Eucharistic
host and chalice
suspended in the air, and the angel led them in kneeling before
it and praying this prayer.

. Monday
Miraculous Invocation to St. Therese
O Glorious St. Therese, whom Almighty God has raised up to aid
and inspire the
human family, I implore your Miraculous Intercession. You are so
powerful in
obtaining every need of body and spirit from the Heart of God.
Holy Mother
Church proclaims you “Prodigy of Miracles… the greatest saint of
Modern
Times.” Now I fervently beseech you to answer my petition
(mention here) and
to carry out your promises of spending heaven doing good on
earth… of letting
fall from Heaven a Shower of Roses. Little Flower, give me your
childlike faith,
to see the Face of God in the people and experiences of my life,
and to love
God with full confidence. St. Therese, my Carmelite Sister, I
will fulfill your plea
“to be made known everywhere” and I will continue to lead others
to Jesus
through you. Amen.
Tuesday
Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony
Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints
St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity
for his creatures,
made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles
waited on your word, which you were ready to speak for those in
trouble or
anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I ask you to obtain for me
the favors that I
seek (mention your request here).
The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are
the Saint of
Miracles.
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was full of
sympathy, whisper my
petition into the ears of the Infant Jesus, who loved to be held
in your arms; and
the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen

Wednesday
St. Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so
prompt before the throne of God. I
place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do
assist me by your powerful
intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all
spiritual blessings, through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your
heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus
asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name
and kiss His fine head for me
and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St.
Joseph, Patron of departing
souls - Pray for me
Thursday
Prayer for the Intercession of St. Padre Pio
Dear God, You generously blessed Your servant,St. Pio of
Pietrelcina,
with the gifts of the Spirit. You marked his body with the five
wounds
of Christ Crucified, as a powerful witness to the saving Passion
and Death of Your
Son. Endowed with the gift of discernment,
St. Pio labored endlessly in the confessional for the salvation
of souls.
With reverence and intense devotion in the celebration of
Mass,
he invited countless men and women to a greater union with Jesus
Christ
in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Through the intercession of St. Pio of Pietrelcina,I confidently
beseech You to grant
me the grace of (here state your petition). Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as
it was in the beginning,is
now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen (Say Glory be
...three times)
Friday:
O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore
you, I love you,
and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart
of mine. Make me
humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant,
Good Jesus, that I
may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger.
Comfort me in my
afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal
needs, your
blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.
