PERPETUAL ADORATION OF OUR LORD And You!
Lent has started and you have already missed one of your Lenten goals. Start fresh with
a new goal, not of giving up something, but of giving of yourself to God. Mass is
available morning or evening. Face to face conversation with God is available 24 hours a day in the Adoration Chapel. Commit for 12 weeks, same day, same time. Jesus awaits YOU, 24 hours a day.

Saints Perpetua and Felicity, Martyrs
Feast Day March 7
Perpetua was a young Christian
noblewoman and Felicity was a young Christian slave. The two were arrested for
their belief in Christ, during the persecution of Emperor Septimius Severus: at this time,
Perpetua was a new mother, and Felicity was eight months pregnant. Together, the two
women helped each other through the heat, darkness, and brutality of the guards in the
prison. Two days before their scheduled death, Felicity gave birth to her daughter in the prison, and the child was adopted by a
Christian woman. Perpetua and Felicity were sent out to face the arena together, and after being exposed to the beasts, were killed by having their throats cut. These last days of
the women were recorded by Perpetua, whose diary became one of the most famous accounts in the early Church of the suffering
of the martyrs.
Saint John of God
Feast Day March 8
It is unclear whether he was taken from his Portuguese parents or left
freely, but at just eight years old, John lived apart from his parents. He then led an irregu-lar life in Spain and worked at various times
as a shepherd, an estate manager, a book seller, and a soldier. His conversion at age
40 took such extreme forms—including beating himself in public while confessing his sins—that he was temporarily confined
for lunacy. While confined, he began to serve other patients. In 1538, he began
hospital work caring for the impoverished sick, begging for the supplies needed. He
devoted himself to sheltering and caring for the needy, including prostitutes and vaga-
bonds. While he experienced persecution at first, this work eventually brought him re-
spect and renown. He died on his 55th birth-day, after which his companions who had
joined him in service were organized into the Hospitaller Order of the Brothers of St. John
of God. John of God is the patron of booksellers, firefighters, hospitals, nurses,
and the sick.

Saint Frances of Rome
Feast Day March 9
This laywoman and foundress, born a Roman aristocrat, married Lorenzo Ponziano when she was thirteen; they had several children. In 1409, their palazzo was pillaged by Neapolitan soldiers and Lorenzo was exiled for five years, returning home a broken man. He died in 1436. Frances, known for her great charity during epidemics and civil war, organized a women’s society dedi-cated to self-denial and good works. It became the Oblates of Tor de Specchi, which she directed for her last four years. She is the patron saint of motor-ists, perhaps because of the tradition that an angel lit the road before her with a lantern to keep her safe when she trav-elled. She was guarded for twenty-three years by an archangel visible only to her. Her last words were “The angel has finished his work. He is beckoning me to follow.”

This Sunday, the 3rd Sunday of Lent, and for the next
two Sundays, we will celebrate the Scrutinies. According to the Church’s Rites, “the scrutinies are meant to
uncover, and then heal, all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect and the candidates; to bring out, and then strengthen, all that is upright,
strong, and good.”
At this Mass, we will also ‘hand over” the Creed to our Elect and Candidates, which they will then hand back at Easter Vigil when they make their Baptismal Promises
and their profession of faith.
Please keep all the Elect and Candidates in your prayers as they make their final journey to the
Easter Sacraments.
