CLASSES WITH FATHER MOREAU

Father Jean Marie Moreau, of the Institute of Christ the King, gave three classes on the Holy Mass to our community from February 2-4.  In one class, he taught us a method of hearing Mass as a union with Christ in His Passion.

HOLY HOUR FOR LIFE

On Sunday, January 22, we prayed a Holy Hour for Life, before our Eucharistic Lord, remembering the millions of aborted babies and neglected sick and elderly.  We beg God to convert the hearts and minds of all who do not respect life from conception till natural death, and we pray for the conversion and healing of those who have harmed human life in any way.

MARKING THE DOORWAYS ON EPIPHANY

The Chapel Doors at the Friary

With blessed chalk, we put the new year and the initials of the Three Wise Men - C for Caspar, M for Melchior and B for Balthasar, on our doorways.  CMB : Christus mansionem benedicat!  Christ bless our dwelling!

The Magi left their homeland to look for Christ, and when they saw Him, they adored Him and offered Him gifts.  Let us also look for Christ in order to adore Him and offer Him our entire selves.

EPIPHANY

The date of Easter and other feasts was solemnly proclaimed.

Chalk was blessed to mark the doorways in private homes with the New Year and the initials of the Three Kings.

Incense was also blessed for home devotons.

Water, which had been blessed the night before on the Vigil of the Epiphany, was made available today at Mass.
