FROM THE DESK OF DEACON RICHARD AN EASY WAY TO SUPPORT YOUR PARISH Did you know that the Parish Office has the ability to accept your weekly/monthly offertory thru a credit card payment? Did you know you can send direct payments from your bank? Please know that your credit card information, would be kept in a vault, and your account would be charged on the date, you specify. What is nice and convenient about both methods is that you do not have to think about envelopes or having money in your wallet or purse. This would also be a great help to your parish in leveling out the income for the month. If you have questions you can contact your bank or speak to Mary Ann (Ext 108) or Diane (Ext 107) in the Parish Office. KNIGHTS CORNER LEARN ABOUT US Our Founder: Fr.

JOKE OF THE WEEK A brunette, a blonde, and a red head died and are on their way to heaven. There was a stairway of 100 stairs. Upon each step was a joke. If the women laughed, the devil would pull them down. The brunette got to 59, the red head to 75, & the blonde made it to 100. Just as God welcomed her to heaven, she burst out in laughter and said: “Ohh! That first question; ...I totally get it!” ENTRADA Que alegría cuando me dijeron, vamos a la casa del Señor ya están pisando nuestros pies, tus umbrales Jerusalén. Jerusalén está fundada como ciudad bien compacta allá suben las tribus, las tribus del Señor. Según la costumbre de Israel, a celebrar el nombre del Señor en ella están los tribunales de justicia, en el palacio de David. Desead la paz a Jerusalén, vivan seguros los que te aman haya paz dentro de tus muros, en tus palacios seguridad. Por mis hermanos y compañeros voy a decir la paz contigo, por la casa del Señor nuestro Dios te deseo todo bien. SALMO Que se me pegue la lengua al paladar si no me acuerdo de ti.. OFERTORIO Misericordia Señor por tu bondad, misericordia (2) Piedad de mi Señor, por tu bondad, por tu inmensa ternura, borra mis pecados; lávame de todos mis delitos y de mis culpas purifícame. Crea en mi corazón nuevo, un espíritu nuevo pon dentro de mi; no me rechaces lejos de tu rostro y no retires de mi tu santo espíritu. Devuélveme la alegría de tu amor y devuélveme el gozo de ser un hombre bueno. Enseñaré a todos tus caminos, los pecadores volverán a ti. COMUNIÓN Eres tú, Jesús, eres tú. Eres tú en un trozo de pan y en un poco de vino. Que alegría encontrarte, Jesús, en tu vino y tu pan. Oh Señor, que consuelo saber que me amas. Eres tú la palabra de Dios, la eterna palabra de Dios y has querido venir a morar en mi pecho. Eres tú, oh, principio y fin, manantial de la vida. Eres tú, luz de luz, Dios de Dios verdadero. Eres tú, oh, milagro de amor. Oh, eterno milagro de amor. Eres tu mi Señor y mi Dios, mi alimento. Cuanto amor al nacer en Belén de Maria la virgen. Al andar los caminos del hombre y llamarle tu amigo. Oh, cordero de Dios, cuanto amor, cuanto amor al morir en la cruz. Cuanto amor al querer compartir tu victoria. Solo en ti, oh, Señor del amor que comprende y perdona, solo en ti, oh, Jesús, hay amor verdadero. Oh, Jesús, quiero amar como tú, quiero amar hasta el fin como tú. Oh, Señor, dale vida a mi amor con tu amor. FINAL Perdona a tu pueblo Señor, perdona a tu pueblo perdónale Señor. No estés eternamente enojado, no estés eternamente enojado perdónale Señor. Por tus profundas llagas crueles, por tus espinas y por tus hieles, perdónale Señor. Por las heridas de pies y manos, por los azotes tan inhumanos, perdónale Señor. Por los tres clavos que te clavaron y las espinas que te punzaron, perdónale Señor. Por las tres horas de tu agonía en que por madre diste a María, perdónale Señor. ~~~~~~~~~ El Grupo de Oración de la Catedral La Sagrada Familia les hace la cordial invitación todos los Miércoles de las 6:30-8:30PM.
