Wisdom of God in the Lives of the Saints

by Fr. Dominic

  “Christians must lean on the Cross of Christ just as travelers lean on a staff when they begin a long journey. They must have the Passion of Christ deeply embedded in their minds and hearts, because only from it can they derive peace, grace, and truth.” – St. Anthony of Padua

The fruits of a blessed Lenten Season begin with this simple truth. Frequent meditation on the Passion and Cross of Christ will transform our spiritual life. What better way to pray and experience the Charity of God than gazing upon Our Savior who profusely poured out His Precious Blood.  Every second that He underwent the Passion and hung on the Cross until His last breath, Our Lord freely chose to do it. He truly loved us and loved us to the end. Hopefully fixing our thoughts and hearts on the Sacrifice of Our Lord will bring us to our knees, begging for mercy and forgiveness for our sins, and uttering these words from the depth of our heart: ‘Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ Let this first act of humility lead us to the Sacrament of Confession so that our confessed sins may be washed away by His Precious Blood. From this font of Divine Mercy, we are given the graces to begin again and the strength to persevere on the path of holiness. It is important to bear in mind that the purpose of meditating on the Crucified Christ is that we may become more like Him, that is, to suffer with and for Him. Thus, in the end, we shall completely die to ourselves and live for Him, and Christ living in and through us.

Saint Mary’s has Perpetual Adoration in Saint Joseph’s Chapel

Jesus waits for you in the Blessed Sacrament ~ Let your heart be moved by Him!

He waits to see you and longs for your friendship. Spending time with Him in Adoration not only radiates grace to the world and gives life to your soul, but it gives His heart joy! He waits to hear your needs and concerns. Jesus wants to hear about what’s important to you. Confidently bring it to Him in prayer. Talk to Him as your best friend. He cares about you! He waits to encounter your love and is present in the Eucharist and in every person you meet. Reach out each day with acts of kindness to others. It transforms hearts and helps others tangibly experience the goodness of God! Pray to Him daily. Visit Jesus in the tabernacle and Eucharistic Adoration. Let your heart be moved by Him!

There is a new addition to St. Joseph Chapel!  As you enter the Chapel, you will notice posters of Eucharistic Miracles.  Please take a moment and check out these extraordinary miracles.  Periodically the posters will be changed to introduce you to the various miracles.
