An Urgent Request
In a recent broadcast on Relevant Radio (the Catholic Station), Mercy House in Newark made a passionate plea to listeners in our area for emergency food donations. With many shelters and soup kitchens closed during the pandemic, Mercy House was one of the few that remained open to offer a lifeline of food to struggling families. Now, their food supply is at a critically low point. Our help is desperately needed. Therefore, on the weekend of September 26/27, our parish will have an emergency food collection for Mercy House. The items in great need are: peanut butter, whole wheat crackers, cereal, power bars and granola bars, canned fruit and vegetables, as well as canned tuna, chicken and turkey. Please label the bags of food “Mercy House.”
Please help. Your reward will be great in heaven.
Thank you so much.

Prayer for Spiritual CommunionMy Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now 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.

In a show of solidarity among the faithful and as a common call to prayer during this pandemic, especially for people directly affected by illness, Cardinal Tobin urges all pastors and parishes in the Archdiocese to ring church bells simultaneously at noon daily until further notice. At that time, all are urged to pray the words of the ancient prayer, "Sub Tuum Praesidium:"
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God; In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. |

Our Lady of Prompt SuccorO Mary, Mother of God, who amid the tribulations of the world, watches over us and over the Church of Thy Son, be to us and to the Church, truly, Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Make haste to help us in all our necessities, that in this fleeting life Thou mayest be our succor, and obtain for us (here ask the particular favor you desire). Help us to gain life everlasting through the merits of Jesus, Thy Son, Our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. (Three times) |
