Act of Spiritual Communion 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.

Join Fr. Raymond McDaniel for a special Holy Hour for the “Feast of Mercy” with “virtual” Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Father will offer reflections and lead the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (see Page 10 for a quick guide to this prayer).
Pray the Chaplet for Someone in Need On this Feast of Mercy, let us unite in asking for God’s mercy on our world, one person at a time. Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for one person, such as:
· Someone who is dying alone in a hospital · Someone who is sick in any way · A doctor, nurse, EMT, or other health professional · A scientist working for cures and vaccines · Someone alone and troubled during these difficult times · Someone who has lost their job and livelihood

Growing in Grace Time of New Life
Prayer for the Week: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world!
“My sanctity and perfection consist in the close union of my will with the will of God." ~Diary of Saint Faustina, 1107
Our Lord Jesus Christ, in private revelations to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, expressed a deep desire for souls to experience the Fountain of His Mercy. As a poor Polish Nun, Saint Faustina was reluctant to tell anyone about these experiences with Our Lord until her Confessor di-rected her to write down her conversations with Jesus. She wrote more than 600 pages of dialogue which now comprise the “Diary of Saint Faustina.” Devotions to the Divine Mercy have sprung from these dialogues including:
· The Feast of Divine Mercy celebrated the first Sunday after Easter
· Novena to Divine Mercy prayed for the 9 days prior to Divine Mercy Sunday
· The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
· The Hour of Great Mercy at 3:00 pm every Friday
· The Image of Divine Mercy The Feast of Divine Mercy was requested by Jesus in the revelations to St. Faustina and established for the Universal Church on April 30, 2000, by Pope Saint John Paul II.
“I desire that the first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy” (Diary, 299).
“I demand the worship of My mercy through the solemn celebration of the Feast and through the veneration of the image which is painted. By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works” (Diary, 742).

St. Philip Fall Craft Fair Calling all crafters and artists! Do you have some extra time on your hands now? How about using this unique time to create some of your specialties for the 2020 St. Philip Craft Fair, to be held this Fall!
This year we will expand our craft offerings beyond religious crafts, (but religious crafts are still encouraged). More information will be provided in time, but we wanted to invite you to get started at this time when many of us are in our homes. We will also seek the involvement of oth-er ministries as we did in 2019.
Remember, all crafts are donated, and all funds raised are for the Church Building Fund. In 2019 we raised $10,000. Let's see how much better we can do this year! Happy creating!
New Charitable Giving Deduction for 2020 The CARES Act establishes a new, above-the-line deduction (universal or non-itemized deduction that applies to all taxpayers) for total chari-table contributions of up to $300. The incentive applies to contributions made in 2020 and would be claimed on tax forms next year.
Christ Child Bakery Delivers! Since we cannot have our usual after-Mass coffee hour, the Christ Child So-ciety is bringing their Bakery to you! Email [email protected] to sign up to have delicious baked goods (made according to FDA food safety guidelines) brought to your door. CCS Bakery is limited (at this time) to the first 50 families to respond, so sign up quickly to get on this list!
