Prayer for the dead, however, is one of the greatest acts of charity we can perform. Through our prayers we can help the faithful departed during their time in purgatory, so that they can enter more quickly into the fullness of Heaven. If you are offering the prayer for a Pray for the sick: Barb MacLean Paul Lyttle Edwina Fraser Punin Anam Anna Maria Casiello Leona King Fareeda Mongrue Yeenin Anam Michael Whitenect Lillian Pottage Philip Manrique-Reyes Antonio De Sousa Eucharistic Adoration Every Tuesday: Mass at 9:00am, followed by Adoration all day. Confession at 6:30pm and devotion with Mass to St. Anthony of Padua at 7:00pm. The CWL general meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 9th at 7 pm in the Parish Centre. We invite the ladies of the parish and all our previous CWL members to join us as we discuss and plan future activities. We're looking for your ideas and suggestions. Eucharistic adoration is the act of adoring the Eucharistic presence of Christ. The Church believes that because "Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: His Body ========================== and His Blood, with His soul and His divinity" (CCC: 1413), the Most Blessed Sacrament is worthy of our adoration. To adore God is to Adoration Lamps acknowledge God "as God, as the Creator and Saviour, the Lord and Tuesday, November 10th Master of everything that exists, as infinite and merciful Love" (CCC: 2096-2097). "We can pray anywhere," Cardinal Collins writes, "but No names noted at time of printing there is no more fitting place to pray on earth than in the sacramental presence of the Lord. There we are profoundly struck with the awesome CHRISTMAS HELP mystery of God's grace. Can I read during Adoration? Yes, and we highly recommend the Sacred Scripture and by extension the lectionary readings as well as the Office of Readings from the Liturgy of the Hours. How long must I stay? Seneca once said: "As is a tale so is life: Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters." Eucharistic adoration is simply the natural consequence of the Eucharistic celebration" (Sacramentum Caritatis, 66). We should therefore measure our time at Eucharistic adoration in terms of its quality, and not merely in terms of its quantity. More essentially we should consider who we become, not only what we do, for through the Mass we become active participants in Eucharistic adoration. "The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself" (Sacramentum Caritatis, 66). Let us be generous with our time in quality and in quantity, as Pope St. John Paul II said: The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation … Next weekend – 14/15 November 2015 - Bishop John Boissonneau will be coming for the pastoral visit of our parish.
