Final Week of Advent... Holy Hours

As preparation for Christmas begins in earnest, our Holy Hours of prayer continue.

This week, we pray especially for the needs and intentions of parishioners whose last name begins with the letters U-Z.

Monday: U
Tuesday: V
Wednesday: W
Thursday: Y
Friday: Z

An insight from Mother Teresa of Calcutta:

We must not separate our lives from the Eucharist. 
The moment we do so, something shatters. 
People ask us, "Where do the Sisters get the joy and strength to do what they do?" 
The Eucharist contains more than just receiving; it also contains the satisfaction of Christ's hunger.  He says, "Come to me." He hungers for souls.
