Mass: St Alphonsus Feast Day
Tuesday, Aug 1st at 7 pm at St. Alphonsus Church
There will be a mass to celebrate St Alphonsus on Tuesday, Aug 1st at 7 pm. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to bless our community and St Clare.
Most Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, behold me prostrate before you.
Most profoundly do I adore you, most thankfully bless you.
With the countless Seraphim who stand before your throne,
I, too, cry out, "Holy, Holy, Holy." I firmly believe that you are God, one with the Father and the Son.
I hope that in your goodness you will sanctify and save my soul.
I love you, divine Love, with all my heart and above all that this world holds—because you alone, Infinite Goodness, are worthy of all love.
In my blindness and ingratitude, I have often offended you by my sins.
I ask your forgiveness.
I offer you this heart of mine—cold and dark:
I pray you, shed your light upon it; warm it with the fire of your love.
— St. Alphonsus Liguori (adapted)
