After at least one instance in which Jesus' disciples had returned from doing God's work, he told them to come away and rest for awhile.  In another place Jesus said, "Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest."  Resting in the Lord and being one with Him in prayer brings a peace like no other.  Once a month on First Fridays throughout the day and every hour before daily Mass, we have the opportunity to rest with and in the Lord as He is present in the monstrance.  If you have not received the blessings of this valuable time with the Lord, consider doing it at least once a month.  Perhaps you will be inspired to do it once a week or even more often.  Beginning this Tuesday, we will start having our daily holy hour in the chapel.  This will include the rosary being prayed at 9:15 a.m. and morning prayer at 9:45 a.m.

Recently some of our parishioners have inquired about the possibility of perpetual adoration in our chapel for our parish.  Please pray that if this is to be God's will for us, that it will happen.  This will obviously take a great deal of effort and commitment by a great many in our parish.  The blessings for individuals and parishers who have perpetual adoration, I can testify, are many.
