Feast of St. Blaise & Blessing of Throats Monday, February 4, 2019

On Sunday, February 3, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Blaise, Bishop and Martyr. On Monday, February 4th, we will have the Blessing of Throats following the 7:00 a.m. morning Mass. “The blessing of throats, invoking the intercession of St. Blaise, has become a very popular devotion. On his way to prison, a distract-ed mother whose child was suffering from a disease of the throat implored his aid. At his intercession the child was cured, and since that time his aid has often been solicited in cases of a simi-lar disease.” “The priest in giving the blessing of St. Blaise holds two candles in the form of a cross touching the throat, and prays that through the merits and intercession of St. Blaise the person blessed may be delivered from throat diseases and from every other evil.”—from Lives of the Saints, Catholic Book Publishing Co., NY.
