Canon Law to Participate in the Most Holy Eucharist As Catholics
We fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. Canon 916 A person who is conscious of grave [mortal] sin is not to receive the body of the Lord without previous sacramental confession unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition which includes the resolution of confessing as soon as possible.” A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

Canon 919 A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine.” An exception to this law are the elderly and the sick.



For your Information...
If you or a family member is sick, or will be going in for surgery, you can call the parish office and ask for the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. This Sacrament can be received more than once when necessary, please do not wait until the last minute (when the person is dying) to ask for this Sacrament because it is not always possible to locate a priest the second that you need him. In case of an emergency, and you are unable to locate your parish priest, please know that every hospital has a chaplain on staff that can assist you.

A Prayer for Our Parish
Gracious and loving God, we ask you to send your Holy Spirit upon our parish to fill us with
love. Make us instruments of your love to everyone that we encounter at home, at work, and in our parish community. Work through us so that we can bring your truth to those who are searching for you. Help us to grow in gratitude so that we can recognize and thank you for all the good things you have given us. Instill in us a deep sense of generosity so that we are willing to share our gifts, our talents, our time, and our financial resources. Deepen our desire to follow your will and to do all things for your honor and glory. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen

Lenten Prayer for Sundays
Heavenly Father, As I enter another week of my Lenten journey, guide me to the path that leads to you. Fill my heart with gratitude, patience, strength, and peace as I strive to become the-best-version-of-myself, honestly admitting my shortcomings and sins. As I renew my resolve each day to become a better person, let me hear your voice in the deepest reaches of my heart. Give me rest in you. Help me to accept others, showing them your great love instead of casting judgment. Stay with me through the busy days this week and remind me that when I need comfort, solitude, wisdom, or guidance, I can always turn to you. Help me develop discipline and generosity through fasting and almsgiving, and come closer to you through prayer this Lent. In your name I pray,
Amen.
