The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June 18, 2017

Not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.

-- Deuteronomy 8:3b

Collect Prayer O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, on God, for ever and ever. Roman Missal

¡Papá!

Por Todos Nuestros Momentos

De Alegría... Siempre Serás

Un Amigo Muy Especial.

Por Tu Fuerza Y Valentía…

Siempre Serás Mi Héroe.

Por Protegerme De Noche Y De Día…

Siempre Serás Mi Ángel Guardián.

Y Por Ese Amor Tan Grande Que

Siempre Me Das… Siempre Serás El Mejor Papá.

Bless Our Fathers!

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of a father,

both living and dead, and those who were like fathers for others.

In your wisdom and love you made all things.

Bless these men, that they may be strengthened

through your wisdom and grace. Let the example of their faith

and love shine forth. Grant that we,

their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a

spirit of profound respect.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Lord, to whom shall we go?

You alone have the words

of everlasting life.

John 6:68
