Given the current COVID-19 restrictions, 1st Friday Adoration is not possible; however, I would encourage you all to consider doing a Holy Hour before an image of the Sacred Heart in your homes this coming Friday June 5, ending with an act of Spiritual Communion.
This would be in the spirit of the “Night Adoration in the Home” devotion promoted by Fr. Mateo Crawley, founder of the Home Enthronement movement.
In a spirit of reparation, and keeping in mind the Holy Eucharist present in our parish tabernacle and in the tabernacles throughout the whole world, this act of Faith will be a great blessing to you and to our parish.
Those of you who already have an assigned hour can do it at the hour you normally do; others can make commitments to various hours throughout the day. Some of you will be inspired to take turns as members of the family throughout the night.
Our merciful Lord, who shows His great love to us through His Sacred Heart, will reciprocate your act of love with graces of protection and increased devotion to Him in these difficult times. As your bear your cross and thirst for the Holy Eucharist, Our Lord will shower you with graces to grow stronger in your faith and devotion and be more united in the bonds of charity.
I thank-you in advance for considering this commitment and anyone willing to sign-up for certain hours on the attached chart is encouraged let me know. However, you need not be limited to the attached schedule – feel free to do this Holy Hour at whatever time seems to make sense for your family.
May Our Lord richly bless you this coming First Friday!
Those of you who might not have a blessed image of the Sacred Heart can print of the attached image and have it blessed as soon as possible. Simply sprinkle some Holy Water on it for now. Our Lord will bless your efforts despite it not being blessed. He sees the secrets of the heart and will not turn away from a heart who seeks Him.
