Day 7 – Divine Heart
O most amiable Jesus, we beseech Thee, by the sweetness of Thy Most Sacred Heart, to convert sinners, comfort the afflicted, assist the agonizing and to afford relief to the holy souls suffering in purgatory. Unite our hearts in the bonds of true peace and charity, deliver us from an unforeseen death, and grant that we may die in holiness and tranquility of mind.

O Divine Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee with all the powers of my soul; I consecrate them to Thee forever, with all my thoughts, words, and actions and my whole self. I desire to adore Thee, to love Thee, and to glorify Thee, in the same manner, as far as possible, as Thou does adore love and glorify Thy Eternal Father. Be Thou, I beseech Thee, the Restorer of my weakness, and the Protector of my life, my refuge, and my asylum at the hour of my death. Amen.

Adorable Heart of Jesus, please hear my prayer: Mention request here

REPEAT: “Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on me!” 5 times, followed by an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.

FIVE NEW PRIESTS FOR OUR DIOCESE: Yesterday I attended the ordination Mass at the Cathedral. It was a beautiful Mass, stirring up the emotions of every priest present who remembers his own ordination day as the ancient prayers are recited. The Mass was made all the more special because one of the ordinands was Fr. Evan Hebert. Evan is the nephew of our maintenance man, Nick. He is the son of Nick’s brother, Phil. And here lies the personal connection: During my first assignment in Rayne, in 1992, I married Evan’s mom and dad. I became quite emotional when I saw Phil and Kim bring up their son’s chalice in the ordination ceremony. Though Evan was born after I left Rayne, he is the fruit and gift of that marriage I witnessed long ago.

Nick put together the attached video for his nephew. I thought I would share it with you. You’ll see footage of St. Jospeh’s Church in Rayne where my priesthood began, and the Altar where Fr. Evan Hebert’s parents were married—now the place of the first Mass of their son. It’s all so beautiful. Congrats Fr. Evan Hebert and the Hebert family. What a special day for you Phil and Kim; and let’s not forget proud Uncle Nick. I LOVE BEING CATHOLIC! Fr. Russo

Day 5 – Admirable Redeemer
Jesus, our admirable Redeemer, humbly prostrate at Thy feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind, and with the most profound veneration. To testify the grief which we feel for our past insensibility to all the outrages and sufferings which Thy most loving Heart made Thee endure for our salvation, on Thy bitter Passion and death, we unite in sincerity of heart with all those who love Thee, in order that we may thank Thee with our whole soul. We admire the infinite patience and generosity of Thy Divine Heart, and petition Thee to replenish our hearts with that spirit of Christian mortification which will make us embrace sufferings courageously and fix our great consolation and all our glory in Thy cross. Amen.
