ADORATION General Announcements Mary Lead Us To God s Divine Mercy We should have frequent recourse to the Divine Mercy. Our salvation and safety lie in God s compassion for us. We should also learn to have mercy on others. This is the way to win God s favor more promptly. Our Mother Mary constantly procures for us the compassion of her Son. She teaches us how to respond to the needs of others. Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy...mary is the one who has the deepest knowledge of the mystery of God s mercy. She knows its price, she knows how great it is. In this sense we call her Mother of mercy, Virgin most merciful. Each one of these titles having a profound theological meaning. Each of them expresses the special preparation of her soul, of her whole personality so that she would be able to perceive through the complexity of events, first of all directed to Israel, then to every individual and ultimately to the whole of humanity, the need for that abounding mercy of hers in which from generation to generation people become shares according to the eternal design of the Most Holy Trinity. Jesus continues to show His merciful love in heaven and in the tabernacle, where He waits for us to go and tell Him of our needs and of the needs of others. Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us. Thank you to all the new parishioners who have signed up for Adoration. CCW PIE / BAKE SALE The first Pie/Bake sale will be the weekend of September 17/18th. The pies will now cost $7.
