Mass Intentions The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the greatest and most perfect prayer we can offer be-cause it is the prayer of Jesus Christ to the Father. The Mass is the most beautiful gift we can give to oth-ers. Masses may be offered not only for the deceased, but also for the sick, in thanksgiving for favors re-ceived, birthdays, anniversaries, and for any special intention you may have. The donation for each Mass is $15.00. Come to the parish office on 21st Street to reserve your Masses.

Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Academy 241 Prospect West, Brooklyn, NY 11215 Phone:
Simon Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever. Jesus went to her. He
took hold of her hand and helped her up. The fever left her. She felt so good, she
cooked them a nice meal to celebrate. Neighbors brought all of their sick loved ones
to be cured. When we pray today, Jesus still comes to those who are sick and heals
them. He cures through doctors, nurses, medicines, and machines. Think about how
you get ready for a busy day. You eat a healthy breakfast. You wash up and brush
your teeth. Then you get dressed and comb your hair. There's one more thing you
could do to start your day off right. Pray. Find a quiet spot where you can be alone
to talk to God. That's what Jesus did.
Prayer
Jesus, heal my family and friends who are sick today. Amen.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of yourself praying to God in a quiet place.
Mission for the Week
Each day talk to Jesus ask and be quiet to listen to Him.

Prayer For Vocations Lord of the Harvest, we petition you as you have instructed us to
ask for more laborers to serve in the vineyard of your Church.
You have told us that the harvest is rich and laborers are few
and we experience this great need in the face of the challenge
of the New Evangelization. We ask the Holy Spirit to in-
spire young men and women to seriously consider voca-
tions to the priesthood and religious life. Help all of us to
be effective instruments to encourage and support those
whom you are calling to serve and lead the Church of Brook-
lyn and Queens in the future. Lord, you told the Apostles to
put out into the deep. We ask for the grace and courage to
respond to your call as we pray and work for an increase in
vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life.
We ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest,
Amen.
RCIA 2018 If you know of someone who has not received First Communion or Confirmation, or maybe even some neighbors who talk about our parish and have never been baptized, why don’t you come to the rectory office during office hours and fill out the information for us. We will contact them to see if they are interested in coming closer to Christ in the sacraments of the church. Quizás tú conoces a alguien que necesita recibir sus sacramentos. Quizás tienes un vecino que habla de la iglesia y quisiera bautizarse. Quizás tú serás el misionero de Cristo. De la información en horas de oficina en la rectoría y les mandaremos un recuerdo para que conozcan también Cristo en los sacramentos!
Pray the Rosary for an increase in Vocations
to the Priesthood and Religious Life.

This practice involves limiting oneself to a single full meal and avoiding food between meals. Light sustenance may also be taken on two or other occasions in the course of the day.
