February Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

February Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

Why do we praise God?  Imagine never being taught to say thank you. We would never be truly appreciative of anything we receive in life because we would simply expect it to be done.

The priest, in the introduction to the Eucharistic Prayers, says, “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God!”  We respond, “It is right and just!”

We give praise because it is right to praise God’s goodness. God could easily be less merciful and still be perfectly just. The praise we give to God is partly our just duty but also keeps us mindful of His goodness and love. Let us shout out often during each day: “Lord, I thank you and I praise you!”  Let us remember to do it especially when things are not going well.

Pray with the Mothers of Lu – February 10th at 5:30 pm at St. Pius X

Pray with the Mothers of Lu – February 10th at 5:30 pm at St. Pius X

The Mothers of Lu is the remarkable vocations story of mothers from the small Italian village of Lu who met weekly in 1881, to pray in a particular way for vocations to the priesthood and religious life to come from their own families. 323 vocations was the astonishing fruit of the Lu mothers’ prayers!

A 21st Century Mothers of Lu Prayer group is forming in our area to pray with the same specific intention of calling priests and religious from our own children. The group will make a pledge of prayer and sacrifice for this cause.

We will be having an opening Mass on February 10th at 5:30 pm at St. Pius X. To join or find out more about Mothers of Lu, please contact: andrea.vella.phillips@gmail.com.
