Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.

​O Lord, grant that I may meet all that this coming day brings to me with spiritual tranquility. Grant that I may fully surrender myself to Thy holy Will. At every hour of this day, direct and support me in all things. Whatsoever news may reach me in the course of the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and the firm conviction that all is subject to Thy holy Will. Direct my thoughts and feelings in all my words and actions. In all unexpected occurrences, do not let me forget that all is sent down from Thee. Grant that I may deal straightforwardly and wisely with every member of my family, neither embarrassing nor saddening anyone. O Lord, grant me the strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events that take place during it. Direct my will and teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to be patient, to forgive, and to love. Amen. - Elder Ambrose of Optina

Hello everyone! My name is Vincentius David Leung, I am from Bali, Indonesia and I am turning 23 this coming Easter! So blessed to have it this Easter this year :) To start of with, I was not from a Catholic family. My dad’s side is Buddhist and my mom’s side are third-generation Calvanists. My spiritual journey home to the Catholic Church started when I was younger, I was yearning for a faith that belong deep in my heart. I went through many faiths but for me the only TRUE one was the Catholic Church and by the Grace of our Lord, I was baptized and confirmed when I was 16 years old. There are many ups and downs in my Catholic journey, but I always believed that God never turned my back against me. Christ before me, the world behind me. Have a blessed Holy Week everyone!
