PRAYERS
We are finding that being connected with each other is more important than we may have realized. During this period when we are not able to be together physically, we can all pray the Angelus, at the traditional times of the day – 12 noon and 6 pm, knowing that we are in communion with each other in prayer.

Stations of the Cross - May be prayed anywhere, any time.

AN 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.” {Saint Alphonsus}
