  • Act of Perfect Contrition & Spiritual Communion
    Perfect Contrition and Spiritual Communion What to do if you cannot go to Confession or Holy Communion due to the COVID-19 coronavirus If you have to self-isolate or are quarantined due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, it is unlikely that you will be able to receive the sacraments as normal. In these circumstances, there are devotions through which you can receive absolution for your sins, (under certain conditions), and the consolation of Eucharistic grace. These devotions are officially encouraged by the Church and have been practiced by saints. How to make an Act of Perfect Contrition Through an act of Perfect Contrition, you receive pardon for your sins outside of confession, even mortal sins, on condition that you determine to amend your life and make a firm resolution to go to sacramental confession as soon as this becomes possible for you. Perfect Contrition is a grace from God, so sincerely ask for this gift throughout the day prior to making your act of contrition: “My God, grant me perfect contrition for all my sins”. 1. In reality or imagination kneel at the foot of a crucifix and say to yourself: “Jesus, my God and my Saviour, in the midst of your agony, you remembered me, you suffered for me, you wished to wipe away my sins”. 2. Contrition is ‘perfect’ if you repent of your sins because you love God and are sorry for offending Him and causing the sufferings of Christ on the cross. Before the Crucified Christ remember your sins, repent of them because they have brought our Lord to His sufferings on the Cross.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • Magnificat Celebration of the Word 4-5-2020
    CELEBRATION OF THE WORD Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord This is a celebration of the Word to aid your worship this Sunday, alone or with family. If possible, place a simple cross or crucifix prominently in the room and light one or more candles. You can also place an image of the Virgin Mary there if possible. As a family, choose the one who leads the prayer, and someone to do the readings. Whoever leads the prayer can say: On Palm Sunday, we recognize that Jesus’ full glory and kingship would only come about when he was lifted up. “Our heart feels a joy mixed with sadness at sight of the Master’s seemingly ephemeral triumph, prelude of suffering and death” (Archbishop Luis Martínez). But joy and sadness are dispositions of a holy soul. We can grieve over sin, suffering, and evil, but rejoice with the full conviction that faith gives us— Christ will conquer. Thus, our greatest sorrow and shame is our great relief—the Cross. Finally, Jesus’ experience of being loved and hated, of being welcomed and then rejected, provides us strength to endure the caprices and injustices of our own life. Sign of the Cross After a moment of silence, let everyone begin by making the Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hymn Choose an appropriate hymn. We place ourselves before the Lord, beginning with an act of contrition: My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and fai- ling to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.

It is The Catholic Faith edition of the ‘Penny Catechism’, which features a few minor changes including updating of terminologies (QQ. 319, 321, 324, etc.) and dates (Q. 231), formatting improvements, and the addition of the five Luminous Mysteries (p. 59), introduced by Pope John Paul II in 2002.

Permission is given to reproduce and distribute this booklet for non-profit purposes. 1 Preface The greatest commandment given to us as Catholics is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). As such, we must first know our faith with all our mind, for it reveals God – we cannot love what we do not know. It is for this reason that catechisms - meaning ‘oral instructions’ – developed in the early Church.

Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there and proclaimed his name, "LORD." Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, "The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity." 2 Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship. Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord, do come along in our company.
