Scripture and Prayer
"In Sacred Scripture, the Church constantly finds her nourishment and her strength, for she welcomes it not as a human word, but as what it really is: the Word of God. In the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven comes lovingly to meet his children, and talks with them.” –Catechism of the Catholic Church.
DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS:
Recitation of the Rosary
A group gathers in the pews near the Holy Family Statues for an oral recitation of the rosary the first Saturday of the month at 3:15 PM.
Please join us on Tuesday mornings (unless there is a funeral) at 11:00 AM in the church to say the Patriotic Rosary. For more information call

Sacred Heart Prayer
O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain
of every blessing,
I adore You, I love You,
and with a lively sorrow for my sins,
I offer You this poor heart of mine.
Make me humble, patient, pure,
and wholly obedient to Your will.
Grant, good Jesus, that I may live
in You and for You.
Protect me in the midst of danger;
comfort me in my afflictions;
Give me health of body,
assistance in my temporal needs,
Your blessings on all that I do,
and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.
Prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle,
Be our protection against the
wickedness and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who prowl throughout the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Prayer for our Parish
Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for my
Parish of Saint Michael.
My parish is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am,
It will be holy if I am.
Its pews will be filled if I help fill them.
It will do great work if I work,
It will be prayerful if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many
causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into worship if I
invite and bring them in.
It will be a place of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now
dedicate myself to the task of being
all the things that I want my parish to be.
Amen
