A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Night
“Angels take different earthly forms at the bidding of their master, God. They thus reveal themselves to human beings and unveil the Divine Mysteries to them.” —St. John Damascene
Today's Meditation
"Be at Peace. There is no need to force yourself to write or to be distressed if I seem silent. I am here before you. You are enveloped in My Eucharistic love and in the radiance of My Eucharistic Face. What more could you want? Here you have already all that you will have in heaven — except that here you have the merit of believing without seeing." —A Benedictine Monk, pg.143

Examination of Conscience
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love.

Bible Study Wednesday at 6:30
Hi everyone,
This Sunday we continue with our "vineyard" parables, which we may unfortunately misunderstand as being Anti-Semitic. Unfortunately, we are the ones that are now the tenants, and it is through the mercy of Christ Jesus that we are made his own.
This Sunday is also the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, marking the end of the "Season of Creation". To learn a bit more on St Francis, check out this video.

Bible Study for October 4, 2026
Opening Prayer:
Creator of all, we thank you for the opportunity to gather in study. Open our minds and hearts. By the power of the Holy Spirit, unite us in faith, hope, and love. Help us to be faithful to the gospel and to walk humbly with you. Grant us your peace as we grow in wisdom and understanding. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Matthew 21:33-46 Think about our discipleship and witness; do we see evidence of the fruits of God’s rule in our life?
The parable of the vineyard, which appears also in Mark and Luke, highlights the necessity of “producing fruit” to serve the realm of God. Such fruit is the result of complete obedience to God as lived out in our community of faith at Mount of Olives. The image of a vineyard ties in with our first reading of Isaiah 5:1-7, a vineyard destroyed because it would only produce wild grapes. Matthew’s account again threatens the religious leaders that do not produce good fruits…and this time, the Pharisees realize that Jesus is speaking directly to them in the parable.
Philippians 3:4b-14 What does it mean for you to be "in Christ?
To know Christ, to be in Christ…this is what Paul is seeking. Righteousness is not living blamelessly under the law. Paul is seeking a righteousness that is not his own doing, but one that “comes through faith in Christ Jesus.” He strains toward the goal of participation in the “power of the resurrection.” He is able to continue pressing forward because Christ made him His own. Some scholars suggest that this translation understates the urgency and forcefulness of the original Greek. Christ, in Paul’s understanding, “overtakes” or “seizes” the believer in an outpouring of grace.
Closing Prayer:
Holy God,
you love justice and hate oppression;
you call us to righteousness and not to exploitation.
Give us generous and loving hearts,
and eyes to see the splendor of your reign,
that we may live in truth and honor,
and praise you for the transformation of our lives,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
