Tuesday of Holy Week
"If you can not soar up as high as Christ sitting on His throne,
"If you can not soar up as high as Christ sitting on His throne,
behold Him hanging on His cross. Rest in Christ's Passion and live
willingly in His holy wounds." ~ Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ
"Oh, my God, through the precious
Blood of Jesus and His five wounds,
grant me today five graces:
Blood of Jesus and His five wounds,
grant me today five graces:
the conversion of a sinner,
the conversion of an unbeliever,
the salvation of someone
dying in peril of everlasting death;
a vocation to the priesthood
or to the religious life;
and, for some new soul,
the grace of entering into and
savoring the mystery of the Eucharist."

Let us especially be mindful of and in prayer for the thousands of
Catechumens and Candidates who are preparing to fully enter the

Life in abundance! - John 10:10
