DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION
Holy Hour is observed every Friday from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in the
Chapel, including intercessory Prayer, Divine Mercy Chaplet,
Stations of the Cross, Consecration Prayer, and a Rosary.
Divine Mercy is prayed every day at 3:00 pm the chapel.
“Your task is to write down everything that I make known to you about My
mercy for the benefit of those who by reading these things will be comforted
in their souls and will have the courage to approach Me.” (Diary, 1693)
From the Diary of St. Faustina
Open Your Heart
Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to
My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My
mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors
to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need
of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace
of My mercy. (Diary #1577)
For more information on the Divine Mercy Devotions,
please contact Maria Beck at 832-618-0726.
Mass Intention Requests
Intentions are available on a first come first served basis. Please come to the office and
complete a request form. Sorry, no intentions can be accepted over the phone. An
offering of $5 is requested for the priest celebrating the Mass. Please include full names
so that the presider may be sure to properly announce the intention. We also need your
name and phone number. Intentions are most often for the deceased, but can also be for
the living, i.e. birthday blessings, anniversaries, or in thanksgiving. Questions?

A Prayer for our Nation as we Prepare to Elect our Leaders
Los Sacerdotes por la Vida invitan a los creyentes a participar en la
“Novena por las Elecciones”
diciendo la siguiente oración cada día:
O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord,
Not only of individuals, but of nations and governments.
We thank you for the privilege
Of being able to organize ourselves politically
And of knowing that political loyalty
Does not have to mean disloyalty to you.
We thank you for your law,
Which our Founding Fathers acknowledged
And recognized as higher than any human law.
We thank you for the opportunity that this election
year puts before us,
To exercise our solemn duty not only to vote,
But to influence countless others to vote,
And to vote correctly.
Lord, we pray that your people may be awakened.
Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation,
Their response to you requires that
they be politically active.
Awaken your people to know that they are
not called to be a sect fleeing the world
But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken them that the same hands
lifted up to you in prayer
Are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth;
That the same eyes that read your Word
Are the eyes that read the names on the ballot,
And that they do not cease to be Christians
When they enter the voting booth.
Awaken your people to a commitment to justice
To the sanctity of marriage and the family,
To the dignity of each individual human life,
And to the truth that human rights begin when human
lives begin,
And not one moment later.
Lord, we rejoice today
That we are citizens of your kingdom.
May that make us all the more committed
To being faithful citizens on earth.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
DEVOTIONALS
The 40 Days for Life
campaign is firmly
rooted on a foundation
of prayer and fasting.
To help maintain focus
on the Lord and stay in
tune with His guidance, we will prepare
and distribute a series
of daily devotionals —
one for each of the 40
days of the campaign
https://40daysforlife.
com/devotionals/
O, Dios
te damos gracias por el privilegio
De poder organizarnos políticamente
Y por reconocer que la lealtad política
No significa que seamos desleales a ti.
Te damos gracias por el privilegio
De poder organizarnos políticamente
Y por reconocer que la lealtad política
No significa que seamos desleales a ti.
Te damos gracias por tu ley,
La cual fue aceptada por los Padres de la Patria
Y reconocida como superior a cualquier ley
humana.
Te damos las gracias por la oportunidad que este
año de elecciones pone ante nosotros,
De ejercer el deber solemne no sólo de votar,
Sino de influenciar a un sinnúmero de personas
para que voten,
Y para que voten correctamente.
Señor, pedimos que tu pueblo despierte.
Haz que se den cuenta de que aunque en la
política no está su salvación,
Su respuesta a ti requiere que sean
políticamente activos.
Alerta a tu pueblo para que sepa que no están
llamados a ser una secta que huye del mundo,
Sino una comunidad de fe que renueva al mundo.
Hazles ver que las mismas manos
que se elevan a ti en oración
Son las que halan la palanca en las urnas
electorales al votar;
Que los mismos ojos que leen tu Palabra
Son los ojos que leen los nombres en la boletas
electorales,
Y que no dejan de ser cristianos
Al entrar a votar en las urnas.
Dispón a tu pueblo a comprometerse
con la justicia
Con la santidad del matrimonio y con la familia,
Con la dignidad de cada vida humana,
Y con la verdad de que los derechos humanos
comienzan cuando comienza la vida humana,
Ni un minuto más tarde.
Señor, nos alegramos hoy
De ser ciudadanos de tu reino.
Que esto nos haga ser los más comprometidos
En ser ciudadanos fieles en la tierra.Te lo
pedimos por Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén.

~ In the School of Mary ~
Papal Documents Condensed by Deacon Bill Wagner
(ON LOVE IN THE FAMILY
by Pope Francis ~ March-19-2016)
APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION: Amoris Laetitia
CHAPTER ONE
IN THE LIGHT OF THE WORD
YOUR CHILDREN ARE
AS THE SHOOTS OF AN OLIVE TREE
30. Every family should look to the icon of the Holy Family of
Nazareth. Its daily life had its share of burdens. Like the Magi,
our families are invited to contemplate the Child and his Mother.
Like Mary, they face their family’s challenges with courage and
serenity. The treasury of Mary’s heart also contains the
experiences of every family. She can help us understand the
meaning of these experiences that the message of God wishes
to communicate through the life of our families.
CHAPTER TWO
THE EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES OF FAMILIES
31. The welfare of the family is decisive for the future of the
world and that of the Church. We do well to focus on concrete
realities, since “the call and the demands of the Spirit resound in
the events of history.” Because the Synod Fathers examined
the situation of families worldwide, I consider it fitting to take up
some of their pastoral insights along with my own experience.
THE CURRENT REALITY OF THE FAMILY
32. Faithful to Christ’s teaching we look to the family today in all
its complexity. It calls for an analytic and diversified approach.
Families today enjoy greater freedom and an emphasis on
personal communication between spouses. Also the
anthropological-cultural changes are leading family life to
receive less and less support from social structures than in the
past.
33.
Consideration needs to be given to an extreme
individualism that weakens family bonds, considering each
member of the family as an isolated unit. One’s personality
often is shaped by desires that are considered absolute. An
overly individualistic culture, caught up with possessions and
pleasure, leads to intolerance and hostility. Here I would also
include today’s fast paced life.
We can also encounter a widespread uncertainty and ambiguity.
We value a personalism that, if misdirected, can foster attitudes
of
constant
suspicion,
fear
of
commitment
and
self-centeredness. Freedom of choice allows us to make the
most of ourselves. Yet this freedom, lacking noble goals or
discipline, degenerates into an inability to give of oneself
generously.
