PRAYER FOR BEATIFICATION

Our Father in Heaven, moved by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior, we lift up our hearts to You and ask that, if it be Your will, You grant our request. May Your serv-ant and native of Louisiana, Charlene Marie Richard, be raised to sainthood by the Holy Father, Successor of the Apos-tle St Peter, and visible head of Jesus’ Church on earth.

We entrust this prayer to You through the interces-sion of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, un-der her title by which she is known as the Patroness of Louisiana: The Immaculate Conception. Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be...

Prayer for Dismantling Racism

Dear God, in our efforts to dismantle racism, we under-stand that we struggle not merely against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities – those institutions and systems that keep racism alive by perpetuating the lie that some members of the family are inferior and others superior.

Create in us a new mind and heart that will enable us to see brothers and sisters in the faces of those divided by racial categories.

Give us the grace and strength to rid ourselves of racial stereotypes that oppress some of us while providing enti-tlements to others.

Help us to create a Church and nation that embraces the hopes and fears of oppressed People of Color where we live, as well as those around the world.

Heal your family God, and make us one with you, in un-ion with our brother Jesus, and empowered by your Holy Spirit.

Amen.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY

IN SUPPORTING OUR PARISH

The Heart of Stewardship

What else is there to give when one has already given away one’s body and one’s life? What more can one say or do to demonstrate love for another when all one had has been given to another? This total giving of self to loved ones cannot be trumped by flowery words or material gifts that are fleeting. This is the ultimate in love. This is the love Jesus had for us on the way to his Passion, at the institution of the Holy Eucharist. This is the love he has for us daily in the celebration of the Mass on altars in every church, in every city, in every nation on earth. No one can give more. No one can ask for more. This is the true heart of Christian stewardship.

If you take the time to gaze upon your God in the simplest of forms and begin to reflect on what has actually taken place with bread and wine becoming the presence of the Divine, then you can begin to understand true humility, sacrifice, and love. And when you have the privilege to take that Real Presence into your body at the meal where you are an honored guest, you become one with the One who is the embodiment of stewardship.

Then, you must ask yourself, “How can I even begin to reflect the love that I have encountered at this feast?” The answer is you can begin with the simple actions of the day: where will you go, whom will you meet, and in what work will you partake? Jesus Christ has shown that the greatest gift ever given can be disguised in this world in a piece of bread. By joining your body to his, he can now transform hu-man hearts, not by grand acts, but by everyday acts, by everyday people, practicing Everyday Steward-ship.
