A
great parish prayer, to share [ pardon the pun
] - We used to say this prayer at my parish, St.
Patrick, in Natick, Massachusetts before the start
of each Holy Mass at the parish. It was lead by
the pastor or priest before the beginning of Holy
Mass. I encourage pastors and priests to prayerfully
consider starting this practice at your parish.
Just substitute the Saint your parish is named
after in the blanks below.
OUR
PARISH PRAYER
Our
Father in heaven, your family of St. _____________,
praises you. We thank-you for the gift of life.
We praise You for Jesus, Your Son, Who makes
us a new creation.
Pour
out Your Holy Spirit that we may repent of sin
and dedicate our lives to You. Fill us with faith,
hope and love. Increase our hunger for Your Word
and Eucharist. Make our hearts joyful with the
awareness that we are your family. Bring forward
the fruit of holiness in our lives for Your glory.
Grant
us wisdom, courage and strength to share Your life
in word and deed with all Your people.
We
ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord, with the
intercession of Mary, our Mother, and ___________,
our Patron.
Amen
Kudos
to Fr. Daniel Twomey.
Catechism
of the Catholic Church for Protestants Program Apostolate.
How
does it work?
If
any Protestant is being drawn to
the faith OR is just interested in learning more
about what the Roman Catholic Church believes
and why, yet lacks the money, if they send me
their snail/postal address I'll
send them a FREE, Vatican approved, copy of Catechism
of the Catholic Church. Just tell me where you
want me to mail it by sending me your postal
address.
REQUIRED INFORMATION THAT MUST BE IN YOUR E-MAIL :
- Your FIRST and LAST name.
- Your current
denomination (Christian is not good enough. Catholics
are Christians.)
(If you don't belong to mainstream protestant faith
or are church hopping,
Non-denominational Christian is OK.)
- Your choice of HARD cover or SOFT cover
- Your complete, fully spelled
out postal address including country and
zip code.
- Either YES or NO to - Do you wish to share you
e-mail with other participants who have participated
in THIS program and may be on a similar faith journey
as you are currently on.
Out of courtesy to me and the time
and effort I put into this free apostolate, in
Christian charity I would expect:
- that you are there when I send
it
- THAT YOU E-MAIL ME WHEN YOU RECEIVE
IT
and
most of all: that you
take the time to read it. :)
Why am I doing this?
I don't think someone should have
to pay to learn about a faith they know little or
nothing about. It's that simple! When I faith-share
with my colleagues I remind them that the enemy is
not a person; the enemy is ignorance of the faith!
Like my good friend, Fr. Dan use to say: "Faith-sharing
is just one beggar showing another beggar where The Bread
is!"
Side
note: I tend to throw in a few
extra things. If you are not interested in them,
just respectfully put them in your top desk drawer.

Sorry, My Catholic brothers have
to buy their own :)

with this apostolate, you can send your financial

Can
you help? RE: Mercy of God Devotion.
I've
been trying to find a 32 page pamphlet on the Mercy
of God Devotion, copyright 1978. The publisher, Franciscan
Publishers of Pulaski, WI when out of business about
5 years ago. I know I could get Divine Mercy Novena
material from Stockbridge, Massachusetts, but am
fond of this 3.5 by 6 inch pamphlet with the Picture
of Divine Mercy on the cover that I have used for
years. It was done by Rev. Theodore Zaremba, O.F.M.
If you have a few extra copies you can spare, please
mail them to:
