This month choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills your heart, the peace that rests within your spirit, and the voice of hope that reminds us with God all things are possible

VOTIVE PRAYER CANDLES – Lighting a candle serves to prolong prayer beyond our presence in church. The candle remains behind and symbolizes the desire for prayer to continue. When we light candles in prayer, our intentions remain present even when we are gone. Next time you pass a candle rack, help prolong others’ prayers by offering one for the intentions of the people who lit them.

A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus' pain while remaining steadfast in faith.
O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee.
Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill,
for those who are vulnerable and for those who have died.
Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who
are tending to the sick and seeking a cure.
Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to confirm to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.

PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
Dear Jesus, I cannot at this moment receive Thee in Holy Communion but do come to visit me by Thy Grace,
come in a spiritual way into my soul and make it like to Thine. Amen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL ADOPTION
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have
spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.
I may not know who is spared in this life, but I will know in the next. Amen.

"Mother Teresa's Flying Novena"
From what we've been told, the Memorare is to be said ten times for your special intention.
The last time you say it (#10) would be "in thanks" to the Blessed Mother for listening.
THE MEMORARE - Remember, O Most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To you I come; before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY, PRAY FOR US.
SAINT MARK, PRAY FOR US.
