DEVOTIONS December 8 is the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This remains a holy day of obligation. As we gather to honor Mary, we ask her to intercede for us and our nation of whom she is the patroness of under this title. Please note the special Mass Schedule: Tuesday, December 7 6:30 p.m. Holy Rosary Church Wednesday, December 8 7:00 a.m. Holy Name Cathedral 8:30 a.m. Holy Rosary Church Noon Holy Name Cathedral 6:30 p.m. Holy Rosary Church Remember that one of the Commandments is to honor your mother and father. Please remember to honor our mother, Mary by participating in Mass on this Solemnity. I find it very interesting that the Church has celebrated the Conception of Mary by St. Anne since the 7 th century. The Church s teaching that life begins at conception is an age old tradition. Mary, our mother, help all people to respect the dignity of the God-given gift of life from conception to natural death.

3 200 Rosemont Ave. Prayer of Thanksgiving Lord God, I thank You through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, who is pleased to offer You on our behalf, continuous thanksgiving in the Eucharist. Thank You for all Your benefits, general as well as special: for creation, redemption, the sacraments; and specially for the Holy Eucharist, and for all the graces You have given me. I wish to thank You, Lord Jesus, on behalf of myself and of all creatures, and to make amends to you, as far as I am able for the ingratitude of men, of which You complain so vehemently. I wish that I were able to direct the hearts and minds of all men to You, and, together with them and for them, love You perfectly in return just as You rightly expect, especially from those whom You love more than others.
