Making a Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

The rosary is more than a devotion. It is the story of the early church, which begins with Mary. As we walk in her footsteps beginning with the annunciation and ending with her assumption into heaven where she is crowned Queen, you will be moved by the extraordinary strength of this woman who said ‘yes’ to God and invites us to follow in her footsteps. This day will include short presentations by Deacon Bill, an invitation into silence and personal reflection time, and a time of sharing with other participants.Read More -

January 24 - January 28, 6:30 PMHow often have you said, “I just want to be happy”? Have you ever stopped to consider exactly what happiness means? Is happiness having fun at a party, the excitement of new experiences, the delights of a fine meal. Although these are all wonderful experiences to be cherished and cultivated, they are not happiness, but a definition of pleasure. So, if happiness is not the same thing as pleasure, then what is happiness? Happiness is an attitude, which this retreat will explore by considering Jesus’ eight steps to happiness as stated in his beatitudes.Read More

Pope Francis Prayer for Protection During Coronavirus
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign
of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that,
as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself,
and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test
– and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Prayer to Saint Joseph in Times of Danger and UncertaintyO Saint Joseph, Patron of Canada,
who cared for your own family of Jesus and Mary,
we ask you to watch over and protect our land, its leaders
and all families with your loving gaze.
Hear our prayers in this time of fear and anxiety:
Lift up our drooping spirits, renew our hope
and give us your courage and patience in the face of uncertainty.
Enkindle in us a strong faith,
that those who suffer may be united more closely to Jesus on the Cross,
and that those who must helplessly watch the pain of others
may draw strength from our Mother Mary
who stood by the Cross of her Son.
Grant that Christ’s sufferings may inflame our zeal
to stand by those in need
and give ourselves for the well-being of all society.
Bring an end to this pandemic,
restore the sick to health
and guide the endeavours of researchers and health care workers.
In all things may we always give praise and honour
to God, the Father of all families,
through Christ, his Son, our Saviour,
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. -

Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths For His Name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long.
[Psalm 23:1-6; NRSV]
