PRAYER FOR THE HURRICANE SEASON-June 1-Nov, 30
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control; the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us. Amen. St. Medard, patron of protection against Hurricanes, pray for us. (Composed in 1957 by The Most Reverend Maurice Schexnayder, Second Bishop of Lafayette, following Hurricane Audrey)

Pro-Life Quote-“Through our prayers and through the intercession of St. Joseph, patron of fathers, may fathers come to know the irreplaceable role they hold in the lives of their children, and the responsibility they share in welcoming God’s gift of new life!” Most Reverend Shelton J.

Reflection on the Gospel-“Today’s gospel invites us to reflect on what we most fear in following Jesus—not so as to fuel the fear by focusing on it but, rather, to acknowledge honestly what are our obstacles to proclaiming the gospel more fully with our lives. When we face our fears and surrender them to the One who has counted every hair on our heads, we can defuse their paralyzing power over us. Placing our full attention on the One who cares for us and empowers us, there comes a freedom beyond fear.”

“At times, I feel rather sad, because we do so little. Most people praise us for our actions, but what we do is not more than a drop of water in the ocean. It hardly affects the immensity of human suffering.” Saint Mother Teresa
