AUGUST 1ST 18TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME PǂLjdž 3 PǂLjdž 4 OUR LADY OF THE VALLEY • BIRMINGHAM, AL PRAYERS FIRST FRIDAY SACRED HEART DEVOTION Come join us Friday, August 6th, following 6:20 am Mass in the chapel for the First Friday Devoon to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We will pray for the needs of our clergy, parish, and personal intenons. Our Lord has promised through St. Margaret Mary Alocoque, safe refuge and salvaon to all who honor his sacred heart on nine consecuve First Fridays by aending Mass, receiving Holy Communion, and making reparaon for our offenses. As stated by Pope Pius XI in 1928, “Devoon to the Most Sacred Heart is an extraordinary remedy for the extraordinary needs of our me.” MARY’S CORNER Our Lady Queen of Peace Our Lady Queen of Peace is the tle given to Mary as patroness of the Congregaon of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. During the French Revoluon (1789R1799), Fr. Peter Coudrin hid in an ac for six months where he had a vision of being surrounded by groups of priests and sisters in white robes. He believed this to be a sign from God of a religious order he was to establish. He began his underground ministry in Poiers. In 1794, he met Henriee Aymer de Chevalerie a er she was released from prison for hiding a priest. She shared with Fr. Peter a vision she had similar to his vision of groups of priests and sisters dressed in white robes. Together, in 1800, they officially established the Congregaon of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Founding new schools for poor children and seminaries, they spread the message of God’s uncondional love and mercy. In 1827 they organized teams of missionaries to spread the Gospel to the Pacific Islands. Establishing the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu, they built the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace and consecrated the islands under her protecon. It is one of the oldest Roman Cathedrals in connuous use in the United States. Her memorial feast is celebrated on January 24th in Hawaii, and July 9th in other areas, because the Archbishop of Paris crowned the original statue on that date in 1906. Feast Day: July 9th, Patron Saint: Congregaon of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Heavenly Father, We ask that you spare all souls from the scourge of aboron and protect the lives of children in the womb. Give hope and courage to their mothers to embrace life and know the peace of doing Your will. Give your strength to all fathers that they may always protect and cherish mother and child. Cause our elected leaders and courts to recognize and, through the law, protect the personhood of all unborn children. Li up all church leaders to proclaim a Culture of Life. Lead those who have parcipated in aborons to repentance and healing. Bring about the conversion of those who facilitate aborons and deny the birthright of children. Grant us the courage and energy to be Defenders of Life. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord and through the intercession of His most Blessed Mother, Mary Amen AUGUST 1ST 18TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME PǂLjdž 5 STEWARDSHIP July 25, 2021 Offertory: $9,528.00 RENEW OLV!
