Pray With The Pope, From Your iPhone, Tablet or Smartphone
"The Internet and social media are a resource of our time," the pope said from a balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square while pointing to a tablet. He was explaining that the Vatican has provided a special App called “Click to pray”.
Pope Francis said that he would insert the intentions and the prayer requests for the mission of the Church here so anyone who wants to join in can use the App. The pope approves of modern technology and calls the Web "a gift from God." Now he's given his followers a convenient way to turn on their smart devices and see what the leader of the Catholic Church is praying for at any given time.
The pope would like us to "Pray every day", to "Pray together with others" and "Give to the community."
Pope Francis specifically asks young people to download the app since he would really love to make the Church relevant for younger generations as the proportion of Catholics declines across the world.

The Religious Order of Our Priests
Our priests have the letters SVD after their names to indicate their religious order. The name SVD is derived from the Latin ‘Societas Verbi Divini’, which means Society of the Divine Word. The SVD religious order was founded in 1875 by Arnold Janssen at Steyl in the Netherlands and is an international missionary congregation of priests and brothers from 70 countries, each one with his own culture and tradition.
In the Netherlands, there are communities in Amsterdam, Nieuwegein, Schiedam, Teteringen and The Hague and we are lucky enough to have a priest assigned to us for Mass in English each Sunday.

Rotterdam Tourist Information... Events...
God has created the human body as a fantastic machine which performs amazing feats every day and depends on all the individual parts working together.
During a visit to Corpus on the outskirts of Leiden, you can experience a spectacular ‘journey through the human body’ and appreciate what a wonderful creation we all are and how unique.
The journey begins at the knee and works its way up through the body to the brain. You experience being inside the womb, how the lungs, heart, kidneys, bowels, nose, eyes, ears and mouth work and how they interact with the brain. Everything is simply explained with not too much detail and sometimes with the use of 3D spectacles. Worth a visit.

Note: Visits are in groups which are allocated time slots so you have to book a time slot before going.
