An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love Thee above all things, and I desire Thee in my soul.
Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though Thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee.
Prayer during the Corona virus threat
The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Reflection for 28 February 2021
Reflection for 28 February 2021
2nd Sunday of Lent
Deacon John Bird
In the Gospel for the 1st Sunday in Lent, we heard “This is the time of fulfillment, repent and believe in the Gospel.” This 2nd Sunday of Lent, Jesus Christ’ divinity is revealed to the apostles and to us. The old Law (Moses), the old testament (Prophets) and the presence of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. This encounter for Peter, James and John was a foreshadowing of what was to happen in Jerusalem. This experience for Peter, James, and John happened in order to strengthen their faith for the Passion Our Lord would endure. “The Kingdom of God is at hand, now.” Today’s Gospel points us to Jesus Christ the Word, when God powerfully speaks from the cloud, “This is my Beloved Son, listen to Him.”
This week let us reflect on our strength of faith and ask ourselves:
- Do we really believe Jesus Christ is God’s Son?
- Do we really listen to Him?
- Do we seek his truth through the Gospel?
If the answer is “no”, then this Lenten time for you may mean nothing. But, if the answer is “yes”, our hearts and eyes will be opened, our faith strengthened, and our actions of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving will reflect our strength of faith.
Blessings to you as you listen to the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Reflexión para el 28 de febrero de 2021
Segundo domingo de Cuaresma
Diácono John Bird
En el Evangelio del primer domingo de Cuaresma, escuchamos: "Este es el momento de la realización, del arrepentimiento y de creer en el Evangelio". Este 2º domingo de Cuaresma, la divinidad de Jesucristo se revela a los apóstoles y a nosotros. La antigua Ley (Moisés), el antiguo testamento (Profetas) y la presencia de la Santísima Trinidad, padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Este encuentro para Pedro, Santiago y Juan fue un presagio de lo que iba a suceder en Jerusalén. Esta experiencia para Pedro, Santiago y Juan sucedió con el fin de fortalecer su fe ante la Pasión que nuestro Señor perduraría. "El Reino de Dios está cerca, ahora." El Evangelio de hoy nos señala a Jesucristo la Palabra, cuando Dios habla poderosamente desde la nube: "Este es mi Hijo Amado, escúchalo"." Esta semana reflexionemos sobre nuestra fe y preguntémonos:
- RealmentecreemosqueJesucristoeselHijodeDios?
- Realmenteloescuchamos?
- BuscamossuverdadatravésdelEvangelio?
