your heart and thanks on your lips into His presence,

built this place of worship, and to all who have beautified it

and hallowed it with their prayers and praise. Ask His

Spirit, and may that blessing rest on you, both in your

going out and your coming in.

PARISH MISSION STATEMENT: �

We, the Catholic faithful of The Immaculate Heart of Mary

Parish, in union with our Holy Father, the Pope, and our

Bishop, are called through Baptism to share in the ministry

which Jesus Christ has entrusted to the One, Holy,

Catholic, and Apostolic Church. As priest and lay faithful

in a rural area, we utilize our energy to serve the spiritual

needs of the Kingdom of God to promote a culture of life,

justice, and peace to this generation and the generations

that follow us.

PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Heavenly beauty and

splendor of the Father, you are the most valued Heavenly

treasure.

New Eve, immaculate in soul, spirit and body, created of

the godly seed by the Spirit of God, you are the spiritual

Mother of mankind.

Pure Virgin, full of grace then and now, your whole being

was raised Heavenly in full glory, to be elevate-d above

all the hosts within the Kingdom of God.

O Heavenly Mother, Queen of Heaven and earth, I

recognize the glory of your highest title, the Immaculate

Heart of Mary!

Loving Mother, dispenser of endless blessings, you who

continually intercede on our behalf,

please present my need before your loving Son, Jesus.

(Mention your request)

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, I know that you are now

presenting my need before Jesus, for you have never

turned away those in dire need.

Mother dearest, I await your favorable answer,

submitting myself to the Divine will of the Lord, for all

glories are His for ever and ever. Amen.

SACRAMENTAL LIFE

Page 3: HE I HEART OF MARY PARISHMay 12, 2019  · Heart of Mary Parish to receive Baptism, Confirmation, First Penance, First Holy Communion, Marriage and to receive sponsor letters from

The First Reading is from the Acts of the Apostles

(13:14, 43-52). Paul and Barnabas preach the good

news among the Gentiles and are expelled by the Jews.

The Responsorial Psalm (100:1-2, 3, 5) A song in

praise of God who shepherds us.

The Second Reading is from the Book of Revelation

(7:9, 14b-17). John describes his vision of the praises

that the holy ones sing to the Lamb.

The Gospel Reading is from the Gospel of John (10:27-

30). We all face obstacles in life. Perhaps it's a lost job,

the death of a loved one, a sudden accident that places

an unexpected dent in our finances. Sometimes the

challenges are of our own making. Perhaps we've

developed patterns of sin in our personal lives or our

family relationships. We've all felt the jolting shock of,

"This is all my fault." How do these things affect our

relationship with God? Or, perhaps more poignantly,

how do we now view God's relationship to us?

In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus' words to us are

encouraging ones. "No one can take them out of my

hand." Did you catch that? In case you didn't, Jesus

reemphasizes the point again a few verses later. "My

Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,

and no one can take them out of the Father's hand."

God's grip of providential care and mercy is so strong

that nothing can separate us. We might think things

take us out of God's hand - life circumstances, tragedy,

our lukewarm attitudes towards faith - but Jesus tells us

otherwise. Nothing, no one, can take us out of the

Father's hand, and we can't take ourselves out! We can't

remove ourselves from Him, not entirely. Even when

grievous sin hardens us to grace, His love is still

sustaining us in existence. And His mercy is always

awaiting our repentance.

"My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow

me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish."

This Sunday, let us heed the voice of the Good

Shepherd. Whatever we feel might take us from God's

hand, we can turn back to Him. God is always inviting

us to follow Him and to trust in His care and be

sustained by His hand.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Good and gracious God,

You call each person by name

and invite them to follow you.

On this World Day of Prayer for Vocations,

may each person hear and respond

to the call they have received.

We pray for all discerning marriage,

the chaste single life, consecrated life,

or ordained ministries,

that your Holy Spirit would guide,

inspire, and strengthen them.

May your Church and the world

be enriched by the "yes" of your children.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

Heavenly Father,

from the beginning you have chosen to entrust

the human person to mothers in a special way.

We thank and praise you for the gift of mothers;

for their tenderness, care, and compassion,

for their intuition and encouragement,

for commitment and sacrifice.

Bless all mothers this day.

Keep, strengthen, and refresh them

in your loving care.

May they be blessed by our open-hearted

love and gratitude.

Amen.
