Good Morning…I hope and pray that you’re all doing well!
You and your family are in my prayers…Mrs. Lopez
As always…we begin our morning in prayer:
“Father God…
You traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At Your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience Your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.
Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with You in Your eternal peace.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know Your peace.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know Your protection and peace.
In place of our anxiety, give us Your peace. Jesus Christ, heal us.
In Jesus’ name we pray…AMEN”

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Saints often made an act of spiritual communion when they couldn’t receive the Eucharist at Mass.For various reasons we may be prevented from receiving the Eucharist at Mass (unable to leave our home to attend Mass). In these cases the Church encourages us to make an act of “spiritual communion,” where we unite ourselves to God through prayer. It is a beautiful way to express to God our desire to be united with him when we are unable to complete that union in the reception of Holy Communion)

Bible Verse for this chapter:
"...Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature..."

Begin Ch 8 "A Church that is Catholic"
Assignment #1
- Luke 14:15-24
- Matthew 28: 18-20
Read and Reflect:
By His very nature, God is infinite. God is the fullness of every virtue. "God is love" (1 John 4:16) If this is so, then God must love perfectly. God's love must be constant; it cannot fluctuate from day to day nor falter when spurned. God's love has to be boundless; if it were measurable, it would be imperfect. The Creator's love also must be all encompassing; it cannot exclude anyone.
