A. Today’s New Items
1. Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
Take 15 minutes each day to meditate on Jesus’ passion for you. Ask Jesus to reveal His passion for you and to enable you to reciprocate.
2. Fr. Patrick and Chris Leach on new AOD UTG Podcast Episode
Chris Leach, Director of Evangelical Charity for the Archdiocese of Detroit, enters the studio to reflect on the ministry of healing and the role it has played in his missionary journey.Podcast Episode 65 3. Spreading the Word via Digital Media
Inspired by St. John Paul II’s call for the new evangelization to be new in “ardor, methods and expression” the Catholic Church has experienced an effective rise in digital evangelization efforts over the last two decades. During the pandemic, these efforts have become as important as ever.
We’re happy to report that the weekly radio program “Renewal of the Mind” produced at Corpus Christi is now being carried on the air Monday – Friday by a growing new Catholic internet / app radio station based in California called Spirit Filled Radio.
https://www.spiritfilledmedia.org/radio
With each episode produced at Corpus Christi, the program not only seeks to help disciples grow in their life in the Holy Spirit, but also puts the name of Corpus Christi out there near and far. In an age when many Churches (Corpus Christi as well) are welcoming a virtual / digital congregation to masses every weekend in addition to in-person attendees, we seek to extend our radical hospitality at Corpus Christi to our digital front doors as well. It is our desire to continue to have great impact in the neighborhood and beyond as we continue our labors in the Great Commission (Mt 28:20).
4. Covid-19 Vaccinations (Moderna) Administered at Corpus Christi
Covid-19 Vaccinations will be administered at Corpus Christi Church on the Tuesdays in March with the 2nd vaccination administered 28 days later, on the corresponding Tuesday in April. Shots will be administered in the 8:00am to 3:45pm period. You must have an appointment to receive a vaccination. This is open to anyone 60 years of age and older and anyone at least 55 years of age with underlying conditions. Please call 313-649-4989, leave a message with your name and phone number and someone will call you back to schedule your appointment.
5. Tuesday morning Mass in the Rainbow Room
Since we are having the Covid-19 vaccinations in the church building on the next eight Tuesdays, we will temporarily have the 8:30 am Tuesday Masses in the Rainbow Room. See you there!

7. A New Lenten Prayer Recommendation
High school memories! Katie Mueller graduated from Mercy High School and remembers [and still prays!] a prayer that the students said every Monday morning. The prayer was written by the founder of the Sisters of Mercy (1831), Sr. Catherine McAuley, and is known as the Suscipe (Latin: for Receive; pronounced “sue-she-pay”). It is a powerful prayer of turning everything over to the Lord.
Suscipe
My God, I am yours for all eternity.
Teach me to cast my whole self
into the arms of your Providence
with the most lively, unlimited confidence in your compassionate, tender pity.
Grant, O most merciful Redeemer,
that whatever you ordain or permit may always be acceptable to me.
Take from my heart all painful anxiety;
suffer nothing to afflict me but sin,
nothing to delight me, but the hope of coming to the possession of You
my God, in your own everlasting kingdom.
Amen.
