Beak0049@aol.com <Beak0049@aol.com> MONDAY, MAY 13, OUR LADY OF THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT, OUR LADY OF FATIMA-DAY OF PRAYER FOR PRIESTS! Monday, May 13, is the feast of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of Fatima. Our Blessed Mother Mary has asked for prayers for Priests many times in her apparitions. Unless we have Priests we cannot have Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament! Join us, and countless others, around the world in praying for Priests on Monday. Please offer your Mass, Communion, Holy Hour and Rosary for Priests, Bishops, Cardinals, and our Holy Father. Let us pray especially for those who need conversion, healing and God's mercy the most, and ask Our Lady to pray too. Saturday, Eve of Mother's Day: On the love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, Jose Guadalupe Trevino writes, "Love watches. A mother prolongs her watches by her baby's cradle till late at night. After lulling him to sleep, she continues her vigil, all the while covering his soul with her silent prayers and, with anxious concern, thinking of his future no less obscure than the night around the house. Jesus cannot permit even one mother to surpass Him in love and tender solicitude. At night, when His children are resting in sleep, He watches over them, covers them with His prayers, and protects them, 'as a hen gathers her young under her wings.'" Sunday, Eve of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of Fatima: "Our Blessed Mother's first of six apparitions to the three children at Fatima was on May 13, the feast of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. She asked the children to fall on their knees and pray: "O Most Holy Trinity, I adore you. My God, my God, I love you in the Most Blessed Sacrament!" Her urgent messages underscored the need of conversion, prayer, and penance for our world. She asked for greater devotion to the Eucharist in Mass, Communion, and Adoration. Our Mother also asked for devotion to her Immaculate Heart and prayers of reparation, especially the Rosary. She emphasized that if her requests were heeded there would be world peace, if not there would be large scale apostasy from the Church and worldwide disaster! Our Lady requested that a Chapel be built at Fatima for adoration and prayer to her Eucharistic Son. Join in the 'uninterrupted chorus' that Our Lady and our Holy Father have asked for, start Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in your parish today!" (From our May newsletter.
