Who Are The Parousians?

Who Are The Parousians?
The Parousians are a community of friends who draw their inspiration from Christ's Parousia, His coming and abiding presence. Contemplating the revelation of the Word being made flesh in the womb of the Blessed Mother, the reception of grace in the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, the sure and secure guidance of the Magisterium, and experiences of glimpsing the transcendentals of truth, beauty, and goodness, the Parousians are given to prayerfully seeking and proclaiming all the ways Christ arrives revealing his grace. We understand this as a sacramental vision of life.


A Prayer for Students from Saint Thomas Aquinas

Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom, origin of all being, graciously let a ray of your light penetrate the darkness of my understanding.

Take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an obscurity of sin and ignorance.

Give me a keen understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in the completion.

I ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

An Act of Oblation to God's Merciful Love from Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

In order that my life may be one act of perfect Love, I offer myself as a victim of holocaust to Thy merciful Love, imploring Thee to consume me unceasingly, and to allow the floods of infinite tenderness gathered up in Thee to overflow into my soul, so that I may become a very martyr to Thy Love, O my God. May this martyrdom, after having prepared me to appear in Thy presence, free me from this life at the last and my soul take flight -- without delay -- into eternal embrace of Thy Merciful Love.

O my Beloved! I desire at every beat of my heart to renew this oblation an infinite number of times, 'till the shadows retire,' and everlastingly I can tell Thee my love face to face.
