A Message from Fr. Walter

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

 

Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate, accused of proclaiming himself “King of the Jews” and therefore threatening Caesar’s rule of the land of Israel. This is not the nature of Jesus’ kingship, however. He has no designs on political control and yet, his power extends over every nation of the earth. Earlier in John’s Gospel, in the Last Supper discourses, Jesus revealed to his disciples, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Jesus’ kingship is written into the laws of reality as certainly as the sun rises and sets each day. Jesus tells Pilate, “I came into the world, / to testify to the truth, / Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” In our lives as disciples of Christ, we are called to proclaim the reality of Jesus’ kingship in word and deed. In this way we hold fast to the truth that Jesus came to testify to.

Eucharistic Adoration

Every Wednesday, from 7AM-6PM

The Holy Name Society will be praying the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet from 5:30pm-6PM! 

O Come Let Us Adore Him!!

The Catechism quotes Pope John Paul II: "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." (CCC, 1380)

Consider signing up for an hour to pray

before the Blessed Sacrament. 

Adorers are always welcome to stop in and

spend time with our Lord.

Sunday Obligation

The obligation to attend Holy Mass on the Lord’s Day is a sacred one. Anyone who is frail or at risk due to advanced age or medical conditions is always excused from this obligation.

However, those who are healthy and not at great risk, the presumption of the faithful should be that, unless they are at an enhanced risk, sick, or caring for others who are at risk or sick, are obligated to attend Sunday Mass.
