2. Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework How are we doing on the Holy Homework? Each morning and several times a day this week, ask Jesus: “Jesus, please grant me the grace to think with you! Help me to check in with you regarding my thoughts on various matters. Please help me to know when my thinking has become merely human. I love you Jesus and want to share my mind with you!” .
3. Holy Coincidences: Scriptures and Prayer for our times As we seek to find justice for racism and seek to arrive at a new peace it is interesting how the Church’s liturgy offers us ways to pray.
A Scripture from this morning’s Liturgy of the Hours: Romans 14:17-19: “The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating or drinking, but of justice, peace and the joy that is given by the Holy Spirit. Whoever serves Christ in this way pleases God and wins the esteem of men. Let us, then, make it our aim to work for peace and to strengthen one another.”
In the Liturgy of the Hours Morning Prayer on Tuesday we received a similar message. “Lord Jesus Christ, true light of the world, you guide all mankind to salvation. Give us the courage, strength and grace to build a world of justice and peace, ready for the coming of that kingdom. You live and reign for ever and ever. Amen”.
4. Links for viewing or registering for this weekend’s Masses Our Masses are: Saturday, 4pm; Sunday 11am. The 11am Mass will be livestreamed. Click on the button below for viewing the Mass. [Videos of Masses from prior weekends are also available at this site.]
If you have not registered (by noon on Saturday) to attend Mass in person and you still wish to attend a Mass at church this weekend please: - park in the parking lot a little ahead of Mass time, - go to the parking lot side entrance, - and ask the staff at that doorway if there is still available room. If there is room in church they will do a check-in process for you. Based on the slightly relaxed directions from AOD there is now more space available in the church to attend Mass in person.
