#1 PRAY POPE FRANCIS’
YEAR OF MERCY PRAYER
DAILY.
This is a quick, easy way to par cipate in
the Jubilee Year.
POPE FRANCIS’ YEAR OF MERCY
PRAYER
#2 GO TO CONFESSION.
We cannot give what we do not have.
Experience God’s mercy firsthand.
#3 FORGIVE SOMEONE.
Do you have a difficult rela onship in
your life? Share God’s mercy with that
person.
#4 READ A GOOD
CATHOLIC BOOK ABOUT
MERCY.
The Joy of the Gospel by Pope Francis is
a great place to start.
#5 PICK ONE SPIRITUAL
AND ONE CORPORAL
WORK OF MERCY.
Do not try to do them all at once! Take
one of each, and focus on sharing mercy
simply.
#6 PRAY THE DIVINE
MERCY NOVENA.
Star ng Good Friday, this a typical nineday novena to invoke Jesus’ mercy.
#7 TAKE A PILGRIMAGE
It does not have to be far. Simply find a
shrine or other spiritual site near you
and spend me in prayer.
Lord Jesus Christ,
You have taught us to be merciful like the
heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you
sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and
Ma hew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking
happiness only in created things;
made Peter weep a er his betrayal,
and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of
us, the words that you spoke to the
Samaritan woman:
“If you knew the gi of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible
Father, of the God who manifests his power
above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the
world, its Lord risen and glorified.
BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY
You willed that your ministers would also
be clothed in weakness
in order that they may feel compassion for
those in ignorance and error:
let everyone who approaches them feel
sought a er, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one
of us with its anoin ng,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year
of grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm,
may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to cap ves and the
oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession of
Mary, Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father and
the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen

Directives for the Flu Season
1. Do not come to Mass when you have flu-like symptoms.
2. Do not bring sick children to Mass or to school.
3. Flu symptoms include: cough, fever, sore throat, stuffy nose, chills, headache
and body aches, fa gue, (and some mes nausea, vomi ng and diarrhea).
4. Do not shake hands (e.g., gree ngs and sign of peace) if you have a scratchy

5. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that the parishes not distribute the Precious
Blood (the chalice) during the flu season. We discourage the distribu on of the

the en re ciborium if a finger touches an infected person on the tongue or
mouth, and then returns to the ciborium.
With the number of flu cases on the rise, we have suspended the distribuƟon
of the Precious Blood at all Masses unƟl further noƟce. Thank you for your
understanding. During this Ɵme, please prayerfully discern if you may be
called to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
Please call Elaine at 307-4216 if you have any quesƟons or would like further
informaƟon.

Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb
TODAY—All Masses (except 6:30am) Sunday, January 10
The Church welcomes with joy and compassion the mothers who,
recognizing that all life is a gift from God, come to the Church seeking a
blessing for their unborn child. Such a blessing sustains the parents by
imparting grace and comfort in time of concern and need, unites the parish
in prayer for the unborn child, and fosters respect for human life within
society.
“God, author of all life, bless we pray, this unborn child; give constant
protection and a healthy birth that is the sign of your rebirth one day into
the eternal rejoicing of heaven”...excerpt from the Prayer of Blessing.
Rito de la Bendición de un niño en el vientre
en todas las misas, excepto las 6:30 am. Domingo, 10 de enero
La Iglesia acoge con alegría y compasión a las madres que, reconociendo
que toda la vida es un don de Dios, ven a la Iglesia buscando una bendición
para su hijo por nacer. Tal bendición sostiene los padres al impartir gracia y
consuelo en momentos de preocupación y necesidad, que une la parroquia
en oración para que el niño no nacido, y fomenta el respeto por la vida
humana dentro de la sociedad.
“Dios, autor de toda vida, bendiga, te rogamos, este niño no nacido, de una
protección constante y un parto saludable que es el signo de su
renacimiento un día en la eterna alegría del cielo”…. excerpto de la Oración
de Bendición.
¡Por favor, únase a nosotros en esta maravillosa celebración de la vida!
