This week's social justice prayer:
Dear God, send your spirit into the hearts of all of us, and help us see with clarity and compassions the injustices, needs, and obstacles that many suffer daily, to have the strength and determination to end discrimination, divisive disputes and socioeconomic differences around the world. Amen.
From a humble parishioner ...
Sometimes we can get so bogged down on how to pray, where to pray, even what to pray, that we just give up... let's not be so concerned about details, and simply talk to the God who loves us, unconditionally… He’ll take care of the rest.
And let's make it a great day today too, moment by moment.
Teamwork makes the dream work. On a great team or with a great partner, so many things became possible you couldn’t have done on your own. Today, Matthew discusses how God wants to take that to a whole new level in your life. He has a dream for you. Together, you can make it work like never before.

Spotlight on Prayer
Count our Blessings
Reflect
God sends us blessings throughout the day, though we don’t always recognize them. In order to cultivate a gracious heart, let us first pray for our hearts to be opened.
Pray
Dear God,
your blessings
take many shapes,
but I do not always
welcome them.
In the busyness of the day,
give me eyes to see
the beauty around me
and a heart that
is open to its graces.
Let me share those blessings
with those around me.
Amen.
Act
At the close of day today, write down three blessings that lifted your spirits. Offer up this prayer again in thanks to the generous God who provided them.
Specific Weekend Masses will be streamed at each parish. Click the Link below to watch Mass live at your parish. Please note, you do not need a Facebook account to watch.

Spotlight on The Chosen
Have you Discovered
The Chosen?
COME AND SEE WHAT THEY SAW.
Welcome to the First Ever Multi-season series about The Life of Christ. The free show tens of millions of people won't stop talking about. A charismatic fisherman drowning in debt, a troubled woman wresting with real demons, a gifted publican ostracized by his family-see Jesus through the eyes of those that met him!
It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Rev. Edward Gallagher, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes from 1991-1997. Fr. Ed, because of his love for our parish, gave an amazing donation, and with that donation we were able to create a Parish Function Hall, upgrade the Parish Offices and build
the Rev. Edward Gallagher Religious Education
Center! We will be eternally grateful for his kindness and generosity. Fr. Ed will leave behind a legacy of faith, hope and love in the people he served, planting in them the very seeds of eternal life. “We do not want you to be unaware brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope." Thessalonians 4:13-14
May the soul of Rev. Edward Gallagher Rest in Peace!
