All were amazed and asked one another, "What is

this? A new teaching with authority. He commands

even the unclean spirits and they obey him." His

fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region

of Galilee. - Mark 1:27-28

Journal of an Unborn Baby Week 18: We had an ultrasound this week and my parents saw what Mom already knew: where I like to lay my head and place my hands and feet. They got to see some of the things I can do like opening and closing my fingers. Dad said that I was waving to them. This is

the time the technician could have revealed whether I am a boy or a girl. I wonder...did they choose to know now or save it for a surprise on my birthday?

Rosary Recitation From Saint Louis de Montfort: “There are several

ways of saying the Holy Rosary, but that which gives

Almighty God the greatest glory, does the most for our

souls, and which the devil fears more than any other is

that of saying or chanting the Rosary publicly in

groups. Someone who says his/her Rosary alone only

gains the merit of one Rosary, but if he or she says it

together with 30 other people, he gains the merits of

thirty Rosaries!” The Rosary is recited before the 9

a.m. Mass, beginning at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday

mornings.

Yarn Needed The Prayer Shawl Ministry is looking for yarn donations. Do you have any skeins of yarn leftover from projects never really completed? If you have any yarn orphans living at your place, this is their chance to be a part of something wonderful. You can clean out your closet and help our community at the same time. Look for the yarn donation bin at the back of the church, and May God Bless You!

Eucharistic Adoration We are always looking for new E u c h a r i s t i c A d o r e r s , particularly during daytime hours on Monday. Anyone interested is asked to call Lorraine at 532-6634. “Were it not for the constant presence of our divine Master

in our humble chapel, I would not have found it

possible to persevere in sharing the lot of the lepers

in Molokai. The Eucharist is the bread that gives

strength. It is at once the most eloquent proof of His

love and the most powerful means of fostering His

love in us. He gives Himself every day so that our

hearts as burning coals may set afire the hearts of the

faithful”.
