Thankfully, it is most often reverent and devout, language surrounding all things “contagious,” “viral load,” even if my reflections lack sharp focus. However we “carrier,” and “close contact.” Something that has come into approach prayer and whatever our experience, God gives us my prayer in the past few weeks, though, is the term his grace in every moment. We can receive greater and “shedding.” Specifically, the idea of what exactly we may greater grace the better we are disposed to it, but it does not be carriers of, or what we might be shedding, versus to what depend on “effort,” rather on openness.

More information will be coming in future bulletins. The scripture/prayer meditations are done each half hour throughout the day, each taking about 10 minutes. Between each meditation, hymns, prayer, or purposeful silence will be observed. The annual Good Friday All-Day Prayer Vigil CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL has been a time of powerful prayer and witness to the humanity of the unborn. It has also been a time of deep reflection and strengthening of conviction for all who attend. The entire focus is on prayer. We refrain from using signs that would connote a picket or demonstration to the public. Instead, a life-sized cross is carried, keeping the prayerful focus of the day on the cross of Christ.
At this point in time, it is our understanding that we cannot get a permit to use the street next to Planned Parenthood, as we have done since 2012. So this year, we are planning to livestream the vigil with the clergy, song leaders, a couple staff members, and the life-sized cross in person on the sidewalk near Planned Parenthood.
By doing this live stream, the potential for the number of those “participating” remotely is far greater than in person. They may stay for as little or as long as they want. Many will come before or after work. Others take an extended lunch time. And a growing number stay for the morning, the afternoon, or the entire day.
