You'll find materials on Reconciliation, an Examination of Conscience and
even a Credit Card to Heaven.  Lenten regulations are there too, along with
a complete schedule of Services and Activities.  Be sure to visit our
ON-LINE STATIONS OF THE CROSS.  I've written them for children and adults
alike.  They've been newly illustrated this year by the 4th Graders at our

You do well if you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."  ~James 2:8

.=:  M E D I T A T I O N   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I can prepare myself by doing each day what I can to develop spiritually and
to help others to do so.  Events in my life can test me, train me and bend
me to God's will.  If I am not properly trained, I cannot meet the test when
it comes.  I can want God's will for me above all else. I need not expect to
have what I am not prepared for.  This preparation consists of quiet
communion with God every day and gradually gaining the strength I need.

.=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that I may really try to do God's will in all my affairs.  I pray
that I may do all I can to help others find God's will for them.

Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ 

.=: W E     P R A Y  :=.

Pat asks for prayers for a friend with lung cancer. Dolly asks prayers for
someone who needs peace over a medical test. Nancy from PA requests prayers
for her daughter-in-law's stepfather who is an alcoholic but refuses to
acknowledge he is and would rather spend time in jail than go to rehab.

Mother request prayers for her son who is running with a bad crowd. Frieda
asks prayers that her husbands biopsy goes well Thursday. A member asks
prayers for herself that she may be able to find a suitable spouse soon. Ann
asks prayers for the Children of the murdered woman from Michigan, that they
may be placed in a home where they will receive all the Love, and
Understanding, plus receive Counseling in the situation that they were put
through, by their abusive Father.

Lynn asks prayers for her sister in law who is having a biopsy on Thursday
that there will be no cancer and that she has a quick recovery. Marilyn asks
prayers for a friend's relative who has serious cancer. Mary Sue asks
prayers for healing from alcohol, drug, and cigarette addiction for her 14
y/o daughter, and that this cross will bring her closer to our Lord.

We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home.  We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat

      "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 


Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well.   May
God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe!

All the best and God Bless,

Father Pat
