ENTRANCE: # 257 GATHER US IN

1. Here in this place new light is streaming; Now is the darkness vanished away. See, in this space, our fears and our dreamings, brought here to you in the light of this day. Gather us in, the lost and forsaken; Gather us in, the blind and the lame. Call to us and we shall awak-en; we shall arise at the sound of our name.

2. We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry; We are the old who yearn for your face. We have been sung throughout all of hist’ry, Called to be light to the whole human race. Gather us in, the rich and the haughty; Gather us in, the proud and the strong. Give us a heart so meek and so lowly; Give us the courage to enter the song.

PRAYER to ST. MICHAEL

Holy Michael the archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, By the divine power, thrust into hell satan and all the other evil spirits who wander through the world seek-ing the ruin of souls. Amen.

REFRAIN: Set your heart on the higher gifts, on the things that come from your Maker in heaven. These three gifts are all that remain: faith, hope and love, and the greatest is love.

COMMUNION SONG: # 326 LOVE DIVINE ALL LOVES EXCELLING

1. Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heav’n to earth come down, Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation, Enter ev’ry trembling heart.

2. Come, Almighty, to deliver, Let us all thy life receive; Suddenly return and never Nevermore thy tem-ples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above, Pray, and praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy precious love.

RECESSIONAL: # 349 JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE

1. Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before thee, Prais-ing thee their sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day.

2. All thy works with joy surround thee, Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays, Stars and angels sing around thee, Center of unbroken praise; Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in thee.

Please place your donations of non-perishable food items in the

Passing on the Faith Some specific points

In an effort to passing on the faith, a family needs to consider some specific points:

Life of piety within the family comes first. Chil-dren always look up to the parents as their models. Hence, praying grace at meals, teach-ing the children to recite the Rosary and thus develop devotion to Our Blessed Mother, recit-ing morning & evening prayers, receiving Sac-raments with due faith and cultivating a habit of prayer are some of the ways, through which the parents can manifest their faith to their children.

Piety, if not well-grounded in doctrine, would turn to be superstitious and routine. Hence, it is important to provide the children with an opportunity for learning Catechism, whether in the Parish or in the Catholic School. This will help the children understand the significance of what they believe and to personalize them through pious practices. Recommending good books to older children may also help them to be grounded well in faith. This depends on the respect and love that the parents have in their hearts towards the Church and its teachings.

Another important aspect is to help that some virtues take root in their children. Parents could help the children to practice virtues by stressing the importance of self-discipline, hard-work, generosity and temperance at home. In the present consumeristic society, it is easy for the children to become insatiably thirsty for and become a prey to various gadg-ets, toys and other things that may lead them to a self-centered life-style. As long as their whims are satisfied, the virtues like self-sacrifice and commitment may be far from their thoughts. Hence it is better for the par-ents to say no to some of the unnecessary de-sires of their children.

Finally, the living example and personal wit-ness of the parents to faith is the best way of passing on the faith. Parents, who give due importance to a life of faith by way of attend-

ing Mass on Sundays & holy days of obligation, will help the children grow in love for Jesus & towards others. Responsible parenthood involves such Christian duties, in order to help their children, grow better per-sons in character and better Catholics in faith. God bless you, Fr. Arul Joseph V.

Your Voice Urgently Needed to STOP Taxpayer-Funded Abortion on Demand

Recently, the House of Representatives voted to pass the most radical abortion bill ever. The so-called Wom-en’s Health Protection Act, H.R. 3755, would:

-allow abortion on demand nationwide throughout EVERY STAGE of pregnancy -BAN pro-life laws in every state & local government -Force Americans to support abortions with their tax $ -Likely eliminate conscience protections for doctors—among other extreme actions.

Of those present, all but one House Democrat voted FOR the bill and all House Republicans voted against. In his statement responding to this vote, Archbishop Joseph Naumann, Chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activi-ties, called this bill “the most extreme pro-abortion bill our nation has ever seen.” The USCCB Action Center brings 2 other threats to human life to our attention as well: Funding of abortion through “Human Infrastructure,” and President Biden’s proposal to eliminate the Hyde Amend-ment.
