Resources for Racism

Unfortunately, we are well aware that we are still a racist society.  It begins with the individual and then with the community.  Click here for a series of articles, books and videos to enlighten us on this issue.  Hopefully, it will move our hearts into action.  


Camden's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception reopens with caution, prayer

Picture
We got a little "ink" in an article in the National Catholic Reporter online version on  the "reopening" of liturgy.  Check it out here.  Did you view the virtual tour in the top right hand corner of the homepage?


Prayer for Spiritual Communion

Picture
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.  I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.  Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,  come at least spiritually into my heart.  I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.  Never permit me to be separated from you.  Amen.
Jesús mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como ahora no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amén.



Pope Francis' Prayer to Blessed Virgin on the Coronavirus

Picture
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.


​Oh María, siempre brillas en nuestro camino como señal de salvación y de esperanza. Nos confiamos a ti, Salud de los enfermos, quien en la cruz participó en el dolor de Jesús, manteniendo su fe firme.  Tú, salvación del pueblo Romano, sabes lo que necesitamos y estamos seguros de que proveerás para que, como en Caná de Galilea, podemos volver a la alegría y al banquete después de este tiempo de tribulación.  Ayúdanos, Madre del Amor Divino, para conformarnos a la voluntad del Padre y hacer lo que nos dice Jesús, quien ha asumido nuestros sufrimientos y llevó nuestras penas para guiarnos, a través de la cruz, a la alegría de la resurrección. Amén.

Bajo tu protección acudimos, Santa Madre de Dios. No desprecies las súplicas que te dirigimos en nuestras necesidades, antes bien, líbranos de todo peligro, oh Virgen gloriosa y bendita.
