Micah 6:8
This is a time to choose and come to the aid of our Church. “If one part suffers, all parts suffer with it… Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it.”

Look to Saint Joseph. As Saint Thomas Aquinas teaches. “There are many saints to whom God has given the power to assist us in the necessities of life, but the power given to St. Joseph is unlimited: It extends to all our needs and all those who invoke him with confidence are sure to be heard.”
To thee, O blessed Saint Joseph, do we have recourse in our tribulation, and having implored the help of thy thrice holy Spouse, we confidently invoke thy patronage also. By that charity where with you are united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly affection with which thou didst embrace the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray, that you would look graciously upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by His Blood, and assist us in our needs by thy power and strength.
Most watchful Guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen people of Jesus Christ; keep far from us, most loving father, all blight of error and corruption: mercifully assist us from heaven, most mighty defender, in this our conflict with the powers of darkness; and, even as of old you did rescue the Child Jesus from the supreme peril of his life, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; keep us one and all under thy continual protection, that we may be supported by thine example and thine assistance, may be enabled to lead a holy life, die a happy death and come at last to the possession of everlasting blessedness in heaven. Amen.
Look to the Psalms.
Psalm 43:1-5
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from deceitful and unjust men deliver me!
For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Oh, send out your light and your truth; let them lead me, let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!
Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy; and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my savior and my God.
Saint John Paul II calls on all of us to evangelize. Let this be one example of devotion to our Lord and His Church.
Please join in Fourth Friday Fasting and Prayer for Reparation and Healing.
God bless you and your families.
