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.

"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."

POPE FRANCIS
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
13th Sunday in Ordinary Time – 2024 (B)
“Just have faith.”
We all have been in a crisis situation when we were up against the wall and there seems nothing that we can do but raise our hands in despair and start blaming others for putting us in such a predicament. Or worse we blame God. But there is, of course, another option. Rather than despair or blame, we can choose faith and start reaching out to God.
In this Sunday gospels, we hear of the stories of two desperate persons in critical situations. Both made their way to Jesus and saw him as their last, but also their best hope. One was Jairus whose daughter was critically ill and at the point of death. And the other, a woman suffering from hemorrhage for 12 years. And both were graced by the compassion of Jesus.
And an encounter of Jesus can simply happen through a gentle reaching out in faith - “If only I could touch his clothes…” Such opportunity to be in touch with the Lord and be touched by Him happens in every Eucharist. And thus, I hope that just before we receive Him in Holy communion, we put our heart and soul in that beautiful prayer: “Lord, I am not worthy to have you under my roof but only say the word and I shall be healed.” Another important truth in today’s Gospel is that even as busy as Jesus is, He always has time for those in need. This is part of His compassion. I pray that in our very busy world, we also will have time for each other and start recreating a truly compassionate world.

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.
