INTRODUCING
Saint Athanasius
(May 2)

"Athanasius was undoubtedly one of the most important and revered early Church Fathers. But this great Saint was above all the impassioned theologian of the Incarnation of the
Logos,
the Word of God who - as the Prologue of the fourth Gospel says - 'became flesh and dwelt among us' (Jn 1: 14)."
~BENEDICT XVI

MOTHER OF DIVINE LOVE
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.
