Give them strong faith that nothing may ever lead them to deny it or fear to practice it. Fortify them by your grace against the contagion of bad example, so that preserved from vice and serving you faithfully, they may be ready to meet death if it should come. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, inspire them with sorrow for sin and grant them pardon. Mary, our Mother, be with them in battle, and should they be called upon to make the supreme sacrifice, obtain for them the grace to die in the love of your Divine Son. St. Joseph, pray for them. Amen. NEWS WORTHY? Does your organization have news or an event you would like to share? If so, email it to the bulletin editor at [email protected] 3 weeks prior.
