    www.ourladyofamerica.com

    Prayer to Our Lady of America, Patroness of our Land Written at the behest of Our Lady, October 5, 1956 by Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil) Oh Immaculate Mother, Queen of our country, open our hearts, our homes, and our land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of Gods light shining in and about you. Be our leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity. We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care. We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us. We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire. Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments of peace among men and nations. Work your miracle of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us. May your valiant spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in "renewing the face of the earth." Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen (200 days) Nihil Obstat: Daniel Pilarczyk, S.T.D. Imprimatur: +Paul F. Leibold, V.G. Cincinnati, Jan. 25, 1963

Further information can be found on her website www.ccrno.org/AlAndPatti.php. Veni Creator Spiritus Come, O Creator Spirit blest! And in our souls take up Thy rest; Come, with Thy grace and heav’nly aid, To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. Great Paraclete! to Thee we cry; O highest gift of God most high! O fount of life! O fire of love! And sweet anointing from above! Thou dost appear in sev’nfold dow’r The sign of God’s almighty pow’r!

    The Father’s promise, making rich With saving truth our earthly speech. Kindle our senses from above, And make our hearts o’erflow with love; With patience firm and virtue high, The weakness of our flesh supply. Far from us drive the foe we dread, And grant us Thy true peace instead; So shall we not, with Thee for guide. Turn from the path of life aside.

    O may Thy grace on us bestow The Father and the Son to know, And Thee, through endless times confessed, Of Both th’ eternal Spirit blest. All glory, while the ages run, Be to the Father and the Son Who rose from death: the same to Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally. Amen

  • STACY MCGOVERN

    Stacey McGovern was born and raised in Massachusetts and graduated from Montrose School and Framingham State College. After graduation, she worked as an elementary school teacher, teaching third grade. Her career blossomed, as was evident when she was nominated twice for Massachusetts Teacher of the Year. Stacey soon married husband Jim McGovern.

    Returning from her honeymoon, she began to experience progressive hearing loss at 25. Doctors could not find any reason for the rapid deterioration of her hearing nor stop its progression. Just after her twenty-sixth birthday, her medical charts read “profoundly deafened adult.”

    Her journey through this tragic experience did not cause her to lose faith or turn away from God. In fact, quite the opposite occurred. Incredibly, she clung to God, through Jesus and Mary, and endured this painful time, which caused her many physical and emotional trials.

    After five years of silence, Stacey opted for cochlear implant surgery and she soon returned to a world of sound. She successfully learned to hear via the implant through rehabilitation. Tragically, the next year found this mother learning to walk again after she and her young children survived a horrific accident. Stacey will share her experiences with sudden deafness, the comfort God brought to her through strangers, the strength she gained through her struggles, and the blessings He promised and delivered. Her story will demonstrate the power of prayer and patience and the importance of having faith in God’s plan, even when things seem impossible. Her deep faith serves as a model for women everywhere.

    Stacey has shared her experiences with others throughout New England and New Jersey and has written her story for several magazines. Stacey has been a guest speaker at many schools, churches, and conferences. She is also a Bionic Ear Association Volunteer for Advanced Bionics where she councils others who are considering cochlear implant surgery. Stacey, age 34, and her husband and three children reside in Holliston, where they are members of St. Mary’s Parish.

    THANK YOU TO OUR PRIESTS!

    We are blessed by so many wonderful priests here today, in the Archdiocese of Boston and in surrounding dioceses. Despite their hectic weekend schedules, so many priests are here with us today because they want to show their support for us men and because they want to help us celebrate the Sacraments – particularly the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please take a moment today, search out one of these fine priests, and thank him.

  • GUIDE FOR CONFESSION

    “To those who have been far away from the sacrament of reconciliation and forgiving love, I make this appeal: Come back to this source of grace; do not be afraid! Christ himself is waiting for you. He will heal you, and you will be at peace with God!” - Pope John Paul II The basic requirement for a good confession is to have the intention of returning to God like the Prodigal Son and of acknowledging our sins with true sorrow before his representative, the priest.

    BEFORE CONFESSION • Try to recognize sin in our lives – Modern society has lost a sense of sin. As a Catholic follower of Christ, I

    must make an effort to recognize sin in my daily actions, words and omissions. The Gospels show how important is the forgiveness of our sins. Lives of saints prove that the person who grows in holiness has a stronger sense of sin, sorrow for sins, and a need for the Sacrament of Penance or Confession.

    • Make an examination of Conscience – What sins have I committed since my last confession? A good confession is one in which I confess all the mortal sins I am aware of and their frequency. A short examination could follow the ten commandments along these lines:

    o Do I give God time every day in prayer? o Have I used God's name in vain: lightly or carelessly? o Have I tried to observe Sunday as a family day and a day of rest? o Do I honor and obey my parents? Have I neglected my duties to my spouse and children? o Have I engaged, in any way, in sins against human life? Have I been angry or resentful? o Have I stolen what is not mine? Do I waste time at work, school, and home? o Have I lied? Have I gossiped? Am I critical, negative or uncharitable in my thoughts of others? o Have I consented to impure thoughts and actions? o Do I envy the families or possessions of others? Are material possessions the purpose of my life?

    DURING CONFESSION • Remember that the priest can help you – If you need assistance – especially if you have been away for some

    time – simply ask the priest and he will help you by "walking" you through the steps to make a good confession.

    • A helpful way to begin is: “Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been ... since my last confession. These are my sins.”

    • Tell your sins simply and honestly to the priest. If you are not sure about the degree of seriousness of something you confess, just ask the priest to help you.

    • After the confession of sins, the priest will give you a penance, and then absolve you of your sins. Try to perform your penance soon. The priest may also ask you to say a short act-of-contrition.

    • An act of contrition: “O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.”

    • At the End of Confession – Listen to words of absolution, the sacramental forgiveness of the Church through the ordained priest. As you listen to the words of forgiveness you may make the sign of the cross with the priest.

    • After Confession – Reflect on God’s infinite mercy. Imagine God embracing you with the big hug that the Joyful Father did in the parable of the Return of the Prodigal Son.

  • LEADERSHIP TEAM’S TOP 10

    In an effort to provide you with ways to continue deepening your relationship with God after the Conference, the members of the Boston Catholic Women’s Conference Team offer you their “Top 10” list. (Outlined in no particular order.)

    1. Adoration. Praying in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament is a beautiful way to become intimate with

    our Loving Father. Even though it may be hard to do sometimes, if you try to sit and listen for the voice of God, you will hear Him.

    2. Daily Mass/ Eucharist. The Sacrament of Eucharist is so important and nourishing in our lives. Pray about making the commitment to receive Jesus as often as possible in the Eucharist. Once this commitment has been made, the life changing experience is immense. The days you are not able to receive Him, you find yourself longing for Him all the more.

    3. Daily Devotional/Scripture: There are many catholic devotionals available to help you stay connected with the daily readings of day. The Word of God, along with the spiritual reflections help draw you closer to Him, as you go about your busy day. Or, you might consider grabbing your Bible from the shelf, and making a commitment to read from it daily. Truly the Word of God will nourish your soul, and bring you His peace.

    4. Faith Enrichment Group. If you are looking for an opportunity to deepen your faith with fellow catholic women from your parish, consider joining a WINGS group (Women in God’s Spirit). On May 1, 2008, there will be a new website for this ministry at www.CatholicWings.org.

    5. Journaling. Taking a few moments of your day to write to God in “Praise and Thanksgiving” for the many gifts in your life, is a wonderful way to draw closer to Him. Sometimes our prayers involve only “asking”, but this is a good way to give praise and recognize the ways that Jesus is always working in your life.

    6. Reconciliation. Make a commitment to take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on a regular basis. It is a beautiful way to experience the Love and Mercy of God, our Father, and will certainly draw you closer to Him.

    7. Retreats. Going on a weekend retreat is a great way to re-focus, reflect and be reminded of where you have been and where you are going in your walk with Jesus. A group retreat is another way where you can share in small groups on a more focused faith related subject, in an effort to deepen your relationship with Jesus. There are many wonderful retreat places around the archdiocese offering day and weekend retreats. If you don’t know where to start, check out the Cursillo Movement http://saintbasils.org/html/cursillo.asp or the Diocesan Office of Spiritual Development www.rcab.org/Worship_SpiritualLife/HomePage.html .

    8. Rosary. Praying the rosary alone or with a friend is one of the best ways to draw closer to Jesus, through his Blessed Mother. Try to add just one rosary to your week, and experience the difference it can make in your life.

    9. Share Christ: Nothing draws us closer to Christ than to try to share his love with others. Think of a busy mom, friend, or co-worker and pray for them daily. Commit to doing one unseen act of love for your husband or family member each day. Join a ministry that visits prisoners and shares the good news with them. Start a group in your church to share Christ with your neighbors. Help your parish start visiting a homeless shelter each month to help out. There are many possibilities. Pick one and get started next week.

    10. Quiet Prayer. Make a commitment to find at least five minutes a day to sit quietly and pray. It can be early in the morning, before you go to sleep, or some time in between. What matters is that you set aside some time for silence, to listen for the voice of God speaking to you. Prayer is not only asking, it is also listening.
