Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
Come away awhile and rest. The heart of a parish is the Eucharist. A parish comes alive when it is centered on Jesus. What do you actually do during adoration? You may sign up to be an “adorer” which allows you to schedule yourself for one or more hours per week to pray before the very presence of Our Lord, exposed in the monstrance. It means that you can have some time alone with Jesus to pray or just sit and rest in His presence. You simply keep Him company, just as you would with a dear friend. Prayer is conversation with God. Every hour you spend with Jesus will deepen His peace in your heart. Can you come and spend an hour with Jesus? Fridays from 10:00am until Saturday 8:00am.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

John 10:10 Ministry ~ I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly
In honor of our Blessed Mother, we pray for families, for priests, seminarians, deacons and vocations to the religious life which are born and nurtured in families. We pray for the sanctity of life and marriage, for the unborn, for babies and children who are healthy, sick or disabled, pregnant women, couples who are trying to conceive a baby or adopt a baby, mothers who have had miscarriages, parents who have suffered the death of a baby or a child, parents who have had an abortion and parents who have considered having one, parents who are struggling to accept their disabled child, as well as parents who embrace their disabled child and see in that child, the beauty that was created by God.
Mary Burton is the Founder of the John 10:10 Prayer Ministry, and the Author of the John 10:10 Blog and the Co-Founder of the Kiss of Mercy Prayer Apostolate. In her work teaching Kindergarten and Preschool children, she joyfully shared the beautiful teachings of the Catholic faith with the little ones. She also enjoyed her work in hospital services where the “Gift of Life” is made available for patients in need of blood through the generosity of blood donors. Mary and her husband David enjoy going to daily Mass, Eucharistic adoration, praying together, helping in their parish and going for walks. They cherish every moment with their granddaughters, Lily and Norah. They love spending time with family, especially their weekly family dinners, getting together with friends, as well as gazing at the beauty of God’s creation by the ocean along the New England coast. Mary has written her first book entitled, The Unfolding of the John 10:10 Prayer Ministry. Check out the website for more information: https://www.unfoldingofjohn1010.org/

in need of Your love and mercy. Amen.
