Morning!
Last evening Fr. said we should all be able to talk for 5 mins about how Jesus has changed our lives. I've thought about that statement since then. YOU?

The music last evening brought tears to my eyes. I cannot thank Zaida enough for coming and sharing her gift. It was so wonderful to have the church filled with music again.

1st Thursday Devotion
also called the Act of Reparation to the Wounds of Jesus and to the Holy Eucharist, is a Catholic devotion to offer acts of reparation. It is based on purported apparitions of Christ at Balazar, Portugal, reported by Alexandrina Maria da Costa.

Prayer...
"Look down, O Lord, from Thy sanctuary, from Thy dwelling in heaven on high, and behold this sacred Victim which our great High Priest, Thy holy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, offers up to Thee for the sins of His brethren and be appeased despite the multitude of our transgressions. Behold, the voice of the Blood of Jesus, our Brother, cries to Thee from the cross. Give ear, O Lord. Be appeased, O Lord. Hearken and do not delay for Thine own sake, O my God; for Thy Name is invoked upon this city and upon Thy people and deal with us according to Thy mercy. Amen. That Thou wouldst defend, pacify, keep, preserve, and bless this city, we beseech Thee, hear us."

Chaplet of the Wounds of Christ...Format of the Chaplet

One method of praying the chaplet consists of three prayers that are said on specific portions of the rosary beads as follows:

The following prayer is said on the crucifix:

"O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen."

followed by the first three beads:
1)"Holy God, Mighty God, Immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen"
(This prayer is found in the later Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. It is used more extensively in the Eastern rites of the Catholic Church, where it is called the Trisagion.)

2)"Grace and Mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious Blood. Amen."

3)"Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son; grant us mercy we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen."

The following prayer is said on the large beads of the rosary chain: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to heal the wounds of our souls."

The following prayer is said on the small beads of the rosary chain: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds"

Most Holy Name of Jesus Feast Day

Today commemorates the circumcision of Jesus.

Acts of the Apostles, Peter says, "for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we may be saved" (Acts 4:12). In the use of the verb "to save" there is an explicit reference to the Hebrew meaning of the name of Jesus (Jeshua) which means precisely "God-saves".

The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

is a celebration of Mary's motherhood of Jesus. It is a reminder of the role she played in the salvation of humankind. The title “Mother of God” is a western derivation from the Greek Theotokos, which means “God-bearer”.
