PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful. And kindle in

them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit

and they shall be created. And you will renew the

face of the earth. Lord, by the light of the

Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit help us to relish what is right and

always rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Thank you to all who have supported

our parish!

I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that. But now I pray that He will guide me to do whatever I’m supposed to do, what I can do.

I used to pray for answers, but now I’m praying for strength.

I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.

En todas nuestras misas la próxima semana le pediremos que consideren hacer un donativo a este llamamiento vital.

El fondo actualmente provee a 149 sacerdotes en nuestro Arquidiócesis un estipendio mensual para gastos médicos y gastos de vida, para que puedan vivir humildemente y con dignidad en su jubilación. Todos los donativos se invierten en el fondo de pensiones para ser utilizados exclusivamente para el apoyo de nuestros sacerdotes.
