How to reverently receive
Holy Communion:
Those who receive Communion may receive either in the hand or on the tongue, and the decision
should be that of the individual receiving, not of the person distributing Communion.
If Communion is received in the hand, the hands should first of all be clean. If one is right handed the
left hand should rest upon the right. The host will then be laid in the palm of the left hand and
then taken by the right hand to the mouth. If one is left-handed this is reversed. It is not appropriate to reach out with the fingers and take the host
from the person distributing.
(USCCB.org - Prayer and Worship)
"No sin or crime is greater than God's mercy. The sacrifice of the Cross reveals that Christ's greatest desire is to forgive those with a repentant heart."

PRAYER
TO ST. JOSEPH
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen
Congratulations Julian! We are praying for you.
12th Sunday in Ordinary time, June 23, 2024
We are called to great faith in order to face the challenges before us. What a scary scene in today’s Gospel passage from Mark. A violent squall quickly comes upon the disciples, and they are besieged with wind and rain. There is nowhere to go for shelter, and the waves were breaking over the boat.
If we place ourselves in this situation, it is completely understandable that the disciples wake Jesus from his sleep as they face this great storm. We likely would have done the same. In their panic, they ask Jesus if he cares that their lives are in danger. Jesus wakes up and miraculously commands the winds and the waves to stillness once again.
Jesus’ response to the disciples is striking as he asks them: Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith? He does not rebuke them for waking him up but wants to know why they were afraid. He is wondering about their faith.
Although faith is at the core of everything we do and all that we are, we can still underestimate it. Consider what we think we need from God. We might wonder if what we think we need is truly everything we ought to receive, or perhaps we are holding back from asking God for something. There might be situations in our lives that feel like too much of a longshot to ask God for help with.
Perhaps it is the strained relationship that just seems to get worse year after year. Perhaps it is bad health news. Whatever it is, we need not be afraid to ask Jesus for help in these situations. And we certainly should not underestimate his power. The Gospel tells us that Jesus is right there in the midst of our turmoil. Ask him to get involved. Ask him to calm the winds and the waves that shake us. Ask him for whatever healing or need we have in the present moment. Have faith in him. Our God is one who inspires awe in us. He is the One whom even the wind and the sea obey.
Our readings today coax us to have courage – to be filled with awe. Look at what God has already done for us! As we prepare to receive his greatest gift, the Eucharist, we see how God continues to bless us and be here for us. May we not be afraid to have faith.
National Eucharistic Revival Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you give us your flesh and blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb.
Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist,
come and live in me.
Jesus healing in the Eucharist,
come and heal me.
Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist,
come and suffer in me.
Jesus rising in the Eucharist,
come and rise to new life in me.
Jesus loving in the Eucharist,
come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death and resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world.
Grant that as we lift you up during this time of Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw all people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Peace, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
St. Joseph, silent adorer of the Eucharist, Pray for us.
As part of our response for the Year of Eucharistic Revival, St. Joseph Church will offer Eucharistic Adoration on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 10:30am to 11:30 am.
Please plan to join us on July 14
Mother of Perpetual Help
Prayer Group
Novena devotions have resumed on Tuesday,
at St. Joseph Church;
6:00p.m. (evening).
Come join us every Tuesday praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, Rosary, Consecration and Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help.
Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help
Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, Blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary. What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.
(Then say three Hail Marys).
What is the National Eucharistic Revival?
The National Eucharistic Revival is a three-year initiative sponsored by the Bishops of the United States to inspire and prepare the People of God to be formed, healed, converted, united, and sent out to a hurting and hungry world through a renewed encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist – the source and summit of our Catholic faith. The Revival officially launched in June 2022, and its milestone event will be a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, IN, from July 17-21, 2024. The National Eucharistic Revival and National Eucharistic Congress are a direct response to the Holy Father’s call for a “pastoral and missionary conversion which cannot leave things as they presently are” so that the Church in the United States might be “permanently in a state of mission” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 25).
This eucharistic movement seeks to bring together clergy, religious, laity, apostolates, movements, and parish and diocesan leaders to spur momentum, collaboration, and lasting impact for the renewal of the Catholic Church in the U.S. over the next three years. Each year will have a strategic focus for formation and missionary discipleship.
