Heavenly Father, in Thy tender mercy: grant us the grace to be vessels of peace bearing Thy consolation to our brothers and sisters who struggle with mental illness; and, we beg of Thee, to those faithful servants who are called to accompany the afflicted in their sufferings, especially those caring souls who bear a similar cross, provide continual hope and the company of good friends to sustain them in Thy service; grant this, we humbly beseech Thee, loving Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God world without end. Amen.

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 8:1-5

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
