We will do everything that the LORD has told us.
 
Oh Lord,

We come to you with our humble hearts to give you thanks for all your ordinances.

Lord, we thank you that we have all your Words to live our lives in Your path and righteousness. Forgive us when we fail to do what You have told us to do
and for all that we have done not in accordance with Your commandments.
Help us to “humbly welcome the word that has been planted in [us]” that our faith may grow and bear fruit for your kingdom. And may our lives reflect what we have received from you.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly

Sunday, July 25

"It is important for grandparents to meet their grandchildren and for grandchildren to meet their grandparents, because - as the prophet Joel says - grandparents, before their grandchildren, will dream, and have illusions (great desires), and young people, taking strength from their grandparents, will go forward and prophesy.” - Pope Francis

The Grotto will celebrate with a special blessing to all grandparents at the conclusion of all Masses on Sunday, July 25.
