Thank you!
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy
Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You
into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
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.

Please Pray For…
The above names have been sub-
mitted for prayers during the last

contact the office if you know of a

Father, your Son accepted our
sufferings to teach us the virtue
of patience in human illness.
Hear the Prayer we offer for our
sick brothers and sisters. May all
who suffer pain, illness or disease
realize that they are joined to
Christ in his suffering for the sal-
vation of the world. We ask this
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
