Loving and gracious God,
We ask for your special grace, especially these challenging and trying times of coronavirus pandemic.
We recognize the unpredictability and severity of this health crisis.
We pray for those who are sick and those affected by the disease.
We also remember the medical people – doctors, nurses, caregivers, scientists, and all those working hard to combat the disease.
We pray for our older people in nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation centers, homebound, and hospitals significantly impacted by this health care crisis.
We also pray for those whose lives have been disrupted, especially anyone who has lost income from a loss of work during this difficult time.
We lift to you those who have died during this pandemic.
We also recognize your wisdom and power, O Lord.
Without You, we can do nothing.
Help us to deepen our faith in you and to trust in you, and work together so that we can surpass all these challenges and would come out stronger and resilient.
By Your grace, help us to realize the importance of prayer and faith.
Finally, we pray for healing, peace, and an end of this global Coronavirus Pandemic.
We ask all these in your name Lord Jesus Christ, with the Father and in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
[Written by Rev. Michael de Leon, AM]
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
[Written by Saint Alphonsus Liguori]
As per Diocesan Directives, we are aware that all public weekdays and Sunday Masses and Adoration are suspended. The question is: Should Churches be locked? The answer is no (as per Diocesan Memorandum on March 23, 2020). People are welcome to stop at church, especially those who may be deemed essential employees (i.e., nurses, doctors, grocery store employees, delivery persons) and need just a few moments to collect themselves before or after their shifts. Praying in large groups, however, should be avoided. PLEASE ALWAYS OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING (at least six feet space between people).
Based on the Diocese of Camden Directive on the Sacrament of Penance: There is no obligation to provide regular times for confession during this pandemic.
Confessionals are not appropriate for use at this time due to the proximity of the priest to the penitent.
Confessions CANNOT be heard via the telephone or through the internet. Also, “drive-thru” confessions are not permitted.
Please remember that the faithful can complete their Easter Duty anytime up to and including Trinity Sunday, which is on June 7, 2020.
Monday through Friday: 10am - 5pm
Saturday: 9am - 3pm
Sunday: 12pm - 5pm
First Wednesday of Month: All-day Adoration from 8:30am to 7pm
Wednesday: 6pm - 7pm (Live streamed on Facebook)
