The Divine Mercy Chaplet:
In reparation for the Catholic Church in light of recent reports of misconduct.
In prayerful response to the recent reports of misconduct by members of the clergy in the Church in the United States, we will be praying the Divine Mercy chaplet 10 minutes before our weekend Masses for the weeks to come. The chaplet was given to St. Faustina Kowalska in Poland in the 1930's through revelations of Jesus. The chaplet is prayed using a rosary and is easy to learn. Prayer aids will be in the missalettes. In the devotion, we pray for God's mercy for ourselves and the needs within the Church as well. Please do join us as we pray.

From our Associate Pastor:
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER!
A poorly dressed young girl nervously approached a fruit vendor. She humbly asked the woman if she would let her have some fruit; she couldn’t pay for it right now, but promised she would pay later. She explained that her parents were sick and unable to work… her two younger sisters also needed food. The fruit vendor scoffed at her and asked her to go away. Too worried about her family’s needs, the girl begged, “Please Ma’am, I will pay you the money as soon as I can.” The owner said she couldn’t just give the fruit away when there was a good chance that she might never get paid. A kind old man standing nearby overheard their conversation. The old man approached them and said, he would get whatever the girl needed for her family. Reluctantly the fruit vendor asked the girl, “Do you have a shopping list?” “Yes, Ma’am,” the girl replied. “Okay,” she said, “put your list on the scales and whatever the list weighs, I will give you that much fruit.” The girl hesitated for a moment, bowing her head. Then she took out a piece of paper, scribbled something on it and carefully placed it on one side of the scales. The eyes of the fruit vendor and the kind old man went wide with amazement… as that side of the scale went down and stayed down. Still staring at the scales, the vendor said, “I can’t believe it.” The old man smiled while the fruit vendor started putting the fruits on the other side of the scales. But the scale did not balance, so she continued adding more and more fruit until the scales couldn’t hold any more. Finally the fruit vendor grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it. It was not a shopping list. It was a prayer that read:
“Dear Lord, you know my needs and I’m leaving this in your hands.”
The woman gave the girl all of the fruits she had placed on the scales and stood silently. Sometime later she discovered that the scales were broken.
God works in mysterious ways. Never underestimate the power of prayer! Prayer is the most important conversation of the day. Take it to God before you take it to anyone else. The holy hours you spend with God in St. John Vianney perpetual adoration chapel will never go in vain. I appreciate everyone who does the holy hour, hands up to the people who does through night which is a great sacrifice on their part. I pray that many more people would come forward for this special time with God. As someone said, if God is answering your prayer, God wants to strengthen you; if God is delayed, He knows you can wait and if God is not answering your prayers, He knows that you can handle the situation. Sometimes, we need to stop talking to God and instead listen; God wants to communicate to you. Do you ever take time to listen to God? We need to check this, whether we are talkers or listeners and balance these two, if needed. A special thanks to Fr. Jason and parish family for arranging a spiritual bouquet and appreciate everyone for all your prayers for me.
