‘Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every one who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye of every one who sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.’

- From the Lorica of St. Patrick.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to our parishioners at home, and across the world, from all of us at Knock Shrine.

🌟🌟🌟This weekend we honor the Bishop's Annual Appeal through the 2nd collection.
When our parish participates in the BAA, you are saying,
“We are part of something bigger.”
This parish is strong.
It’s vibrant. You are building something beautiful here in our community. But you are also connected to parishes in rural towns, growing communities, and struggling areas across Eastern North Carolina.
When one parish thrives, we all rejoice.
When one parish struggles, we all step in. That is what it means to be Catholic—universal. Connected. United.
It doesn’t have to be a large gift. It simply has to be a faithful one.
A gift given in love.
A simple “yes” that says, “I want to be part of the mission. I want to help carry someone else.” Please join us today in a prayerful gift.

There are donation cards in the pews for your convenience. You may also pledge online at GivetoBAA.org

When something comes up and interrupts the plan, I want to see God's hand there too. I want to release the pressure of the to-do list and ... accept what He wills to be done this week.

Morning Meditation ~

Spirit of the Living Christ,
we thirst for your presence;
the searchings in our mind,
the longings in our heart,
truly, our souls are restless.
Yet you understand,
and it is your healing acceptance
which enfolds us
when our failures overwhelm
and our guilt imprisons
our best intentions.
