Spiritual Insight From Saint Josemaria Escrivá If you live the “life of childhood,” you should have the sweettooth of a child, a “spiritual sweet-tooth”! Like those “of your age”, think of the good things your Mother keeps for you. And do so, many times a day. It’s a matter of a moment: Mary…Jesus…the tabernacle… communion… love…suffering…the holy souls in purgatory…those who are fighting: the pope, the priests…the faithful… your soul…the souls of your people…the guardian angels…the sinners… Anima Christi Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, heal me. Blood of Christ, drench me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me. In Your wounds shelter me. From turning away keep me. From the evil one protect me. At the hour of my death call me. Into Your presence lead me, to praise You with all Your saints for ever and ever. Amen.

Currently, we have pledges of $24,434 toward our goal of $42,642. A gift to the ADA, no matter how great or small can go a long way. Each pledge of $10 or $20 a month adds up. A one-time gift is helpful to the cause as well. To those who have contributed, we are most grateful. If you have not yet made a gift to the ADA, we invite you to do so today. There are pledge cards in the pews. Every dollar raised to make our goal supports important diocesan services and every dollar raised over our goal will be kept in the parish.
