Deeper our love and devotion for the Risen Lord during this powerful season by praying the Regina Caeli (daily), prayerfully ponder the 11 appearances of Our Lord to the disciples and followers from Easter to Ascension and read the entire New Testament in the Easter Season. A pamphlet with all of this is on the table in the church entrance.

The Lord is Risen, He is truly Risen, ALLELUIA!!!

The Seven Churches Visitation, attributed to St. Phillip Neri in the 1500s, is a Holy Thursday devotion where people visit seven churches after the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. This practice commemorates the final seven locations Jesus visited from his arrest on Holy Thursday to his death on Good Friday, recalling His request for disciples to stay and watch with Him in the garden.  If one cannot visit seven churches and pray at their Altar of Repose, then one can spend time in prayer with Jesus meditating on these events in Jesus life that won for us our salvation. 

As we imitate Jesus' 40-day fast and prepare to renew our baptismal promises on Easter Sunday, the Lord calls us to intensify our reading of His word. In this Lent, I invite you to ask for and accept the grace to read through all the prophets of the Old Testament except Isaiah. (We encourage you to read the prophet, Isaiah, during Advent). The following arrangement will help you. As you read the Lord's prophetic word, you will repent deeply and have the springtime of your life in the Spirit.
