Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament everyday 8am-9am in the church

Do not be afraid, I will take care of

things and you will bless My name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers

cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this:

“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!”

Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer

asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about

the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel

when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their

childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from

thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that I act, saying,

“You take care of it.”

Dear Parishioners, It is at mes like these our faith reminds us that we are never truly alone, even as we face unprecedented challenges as a parish com-munity. Though we are not able to join to-gether in the celebra on of the Eucharist, I con nue daily to pray for the health of you and your loved ones. I am reaching out to you about an effot creat-ed by a member of the laity with concern for our parish during this me of crisis. It is a spe-cial, 90 day campaign that will provide offer-tory support directly to the parish.

90 DAYS NOW - FOR OUR PARISH This special ini a ve asks, if possible, for pa-rishioners to rally around their parish by mak-ing a special daily offertory commitment for the next 90 days. This effort is intended to supplement weekly offertory gi s, given the challenges of the current crisis. If you would like to help St Joseph St Lazarus, please mail to our parish the check.

$1 per day donate $7 per week $2 per day donate $14 per week $5 per day donate $35 per week

Our church is there for us.

Thank you for being there for St Joseph St Lazarus

I understand many of you may not be able to contribute to this special offertory collec on given the economic impact this pandemic has had on your personal finances. I remain ex-tremely grateful for your prayers of support for our parish Fr. Mirek

Please Pray for the sick in our Parish

POPE’S FRANCIS Prayer for people

who are infected with COVID-19 or facing quarantine.

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need. We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us: He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.

COVID19 crisis has revealed some of the best things about Americans, but it’s also

unveiled our “shadow side”: our anxie-ties and self-protectiveness, sel ish

hoarding and blame-games.

What are some of the good things that we’ve demonstrated during the COVID19 crisis which help “redeem” this dif icult

moment, pointing us in more positive ways going forward ?

We’ve been mightily impressed by the courage and self-giving of our health

professionals, pastoral workers and oth-ers, caring for the dead, sick or at risk: we should imitate their generosity and support them well in the future. We’ve

witnessed our political, business and la-bor leaders cast aside ideological differ-ences to lead us through these dangers

and keep our polity and economy going: let’s hope that long continues. We’ve seen es-sential service workers stay on the job, others work from home, those out of work

looking out for others. We’ve proven we can adapt: now we’ve learnt how, I suspect Zoom meetings will be much more a part of life going forward. And we’ve found new

places and ways to pray and shre our faith and ideals. While of course much will even-tually return to normal, it will be a new normal, and it will be up to us all to make sure

that new normal is a better normal, more just and compassionate, more hopeful and caring.

“ONLY LOVE WILL SAVE THE WORLD”
