MESSAGES FROM FATHER JIM
In your prayers kindly remember the sick and those who care for them, the lonely, the handicapped, those isolated, and those who have died.
INTRODUCTION TO THE LITURGY – Deliverance through the Cross: Only the exodus from Egypt was more strongly emblazoned on the Israelite Psyche than the return to Jerusalem after the exile. The chronicler retells this latter story of deliverance today. Christ in John’s gospel speaks of another deliverance, the one made possible through his own being” lifted up” on the cross. The passage from Ephesians is forceful reminder that deliverance is due entirely to God’s love. We are favored and did nothing to merit it.
FROM THE RECTOR’S DESK – You are to be commended for your continuing faithful participation in daily Mass during this time of Lent. Keep up the good work.

Novena to St. Joseph -Day 4
Saint Joseph, Pride of Heaven, unfailing hope for our lives, and support of those on earth, graciously accept our prayer of praise. You were appointed spouse of the chaste Virgin by the Creator of the world. He willed that you be called “father” of the World and serve as agent of our salvation. May the triune God who bestowed upon you heavenly honors, be praised forever. And may He grant us through your merits the joy of a blessed life and a favorable answer to our petition. (State your request here. Suggested Intention “For Missionaries”)
Amen.
St Joseph Pray for us!
