September 2020:
Prayer with Scripture
PRAYING WITH YOUR IMAGINATION

How many of us trust that our imagination can be a means to grow closer to Jesus?

In the video below, Robby Kiley, Director of Religious Education, takes us through a process of prayer with Scripture using our imagination - guided by the Holy Spirit.

After watching the video below, we hope you might try out some “composition of place” on your own. Check out resources from Creighton or the British Jesuits to familiarize yourself with the process. You can also find a handy set of instructions for trying this out on your own from Michael Rubbelke here.

The Annual
Bishop's Appeal
The Annual Bishop's Appeal supports the work of our Local Church (our Diocese), those ministries which serve the Local Church and the work of the Parochial Church (our parish).

"The Annual Bishop’s Appeal is an opportunity for all of us to participate in the Church’s mission in "Spreading the Light of God’s Love." Although it is entitled ‘Annual Bishop’s Appeal,’ this major effort each year is not really about ‘the bishop,’ as much as it is about our love for Christ and our love for His Church. It really is an invitation to live our faith and commitment to our Lord’s mission."

MOTHER OF DIVINE LOVE PRAYER

The following prayer will replace the parish stewardship prayer at Mass until further notice.

Mother of Divine Love, we entrust to you our nation and world, our families and loved ones, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.

In this time of trial and testing, hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful.

For those already afflicted, obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.

For those working to help the sick and bring an end to this crisis, obtain the strength to continue their work.

Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, conform us to the will of the Father, remind us always of the love of your Son, Jesus, and bring his peace to our land and to our hearts.

Amen.
Saint Rocco, protector against the plague and all contagious diseases, pray for us!
