Prayer During A Health Crisis�
Compassionate and Loving Father,�
In the face of confusion and concern �
impart to us the calm of your presence.�
In You allow us to find hope and healing.�
Be with those who serve the sick and give them
Your caring hands.�
Be with those who lead and give them Your
Spirit of wisdom.�
Be with those who have fallen ill and give them
Your comforting heart.�
Wrap your arms around our world �
and hold us in your love. �
Allow us at this time of trial to then �
serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.�
We ask this in Your Name.�
Amen.�

Spiritual Communion Prayer�
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most
Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I de-
sire 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 be�
separated from You. AMEN�

FAITH DIRECT. � Many thanks to all faithful members
of our parish family for your generous support of our many
ministries. As a result of our invitation to consider Faith
Direct (our online giving program), mailed to all parishion-
ers in March, twenty�four families joined with the 120+
families already enrolled. As you are aware, many busi-
nesses remain closed or will continue to be impacted by the
coronavirus (COVID�19) pandemic and our parish is no
different. More than ever, people from the community are
looking to us for spiritual guidance and support and we want
to be there for them. During this time of social distancing,
Sacred Heart depends on online donations to continue our
ministry. We prayerfully invite you to sign up for eGivng
from your computer, smartphone or tablet by visiting faith.
Direct/MD244. Thank you for your continued support of
our parish family. �
Most times, we believe being a missionary means going to a
faraway land. However, preaching the Gospel message of Jesus
Christ and being a missionary is not always about going
away.��Sometimes it means staying right where we are and us-
ing the gifts God has given to bring Christ to another.�We can
be a missionary from home!�
Pray�� set time every day to have a personal conversation with
God.�Throughout the day stop, talk to Jesus. Simply say a Hail
Mary, an Our Father or even the prayer the angel taught the
children in Fatima, “My God I believe, I adore, I hope and I
love you!�I ask pardon of you for those who do not believe, do
not adore, do not hope and do not love you!”�These little pray-
ers will draw our hearts and minds closer to God.�
Bring love and joy to the family�� spend time with spouse,
parents, brothers, and sisters face to face or via FaceTime. Pray
together, eat meals together, play games together, laugh togeth-
er, etc.� Jesus says, “For where two or three are gathered to-
gether in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” MT
18:20.�Imitate the Holy Family.�
Sanctify � Make holy the work that God has given each of
us. � All the work we do throughout the day at home whether it
be work, schoolwork, chores, games, etc., do it with love and
offer it to God.�St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, “Do small
things with great love.”�Small things brings us closer to God
and makes us saints.�
