PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
We beg you Father, through the inter-
cession of Mary, the Mother of the Church to
bless all who share in and support priestly,
diaconate and religious vocations.
Strengthen the spiritual renewal of
every priest, deacon and religious that your
Church may bear strong witness to your
presence in the world.
May all Christians answer the call of
Jesus, ‘come follow me’ and guide chosen
ones to heed His call as priests, deacons,
brothers and sisters. We plead with you to
grant this prayer, through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Although there is no public celebration
of the Mass, your priests are celebrat-
ing the Mass each day privately.
Your Intentions are being remembered
at Mass and we are praying for every-
one’s health and well-being.
Our churches are remaining closed for
the time being in order to help ensure
everyone’s safety.
Please check our parish website

My Jesus, I believe that you are present

I love you above all things and I desire to
receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive
you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.

We recall and commemorate the events of our salvation as we begin Holy Week.
As we remember the suffering and death of Jesus, we are drawn more deeply into the mystery of God’s stead-fast love for all humanity: God so loved the world that he sent his only Son that all may be saved.
