Lord God and Creator, we bless and praise Your Holy Name. In the beginning You made man and woman, so that they might enter a communion of life and love. You consecrated brides and grooms in their sacred union in Holy Matrimony so that they might more fully reflect the union of Christ with His Church. Look with kindness on the spouses of our community, O Holy One. In their struggles, let them rejoice that You are near to help them. In their needs, let them know that You are there to rescue them. And, in their joys, let them see that You are the Source and Completion of every happiness. Renew their marriage covenant, increase Your love in and for them, and strengthen their bond of peace. May they - surrounded by their grateful family and friends - always rejoice in Your blessing. We ask for this grace, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

To honor Our Lady of Lourdes, we ask our Mother of Mercy, to assist all those who struggle with their health, with pain, weakness, and sufferings. We ask Our Blessed Lady to pray for medical workers, and all those caregivers who generously support our sisters and brothers in need of help. We humbly ask our Blessed Mother to sustain our faith and strengthen our hope; and to help us persevere in our care for one another, with the love that Christ offers to all God's people. O Mary, Our Lady of Lourdes, who prays for us, now and at the hour of our death, you constantly shine the light of faith on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick and Comfort of the Afflicted, who at the cross, united with Jesus' pain, kept your faith firm. Blessed Mother, you know what we need, and we trust that your prayers for us will provide for our needs, so that - as at Cana in Galilee - joy and celebration may return after this time of trial. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father's Holy Will, and to do what Jesus tells us; Your Son, our Brother and Savior, took our sufferings upon Himself. He burdened Himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of resurrection. We make this prayer, trusting forever in the Precious Name of Jesus our Lord. AMEN.

We will gather on the Sundays of Lent in St. Patrick Lower Church Hall beginning on Sunday, February 22 following the 11 AM Mass.
