Dear Celina Cluster parishioners,
Pope Francis invites everyone to receive an extraordinary blessing at 1 p.m. eastern time on Friday, March 27th. During the blessing, which will be streamed on the Vatican’s website at vaticannews.va/en and Facebook page at facebook.com/vaticannews, the Holy Father will grant to all participants a Plenary Indulgence before imparting the “Urbi et Orbi”(To the city [of Rome] and to the world) Blessing. Pope Francis writes, “We want to respond to the virus pandemic with the universality of prayer.” Please view and share this short promotional video with anyone who may find it helpful.

v Spiritual Communion Prayer: 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.
Looking ahead….

Prayer During an Epidemic
Our Sunday Visitor
Lord Jesus,
Hear our please, our good shepherd and divine physician.
We implore your mercy in the wake of an outbreak of serious illness and disease.
Guide our efforts to prevent contagion and make preparations to care for those most vulnerable.
Assist all professionals and volunteers who work to eradicate the epidemic now spreading.
May our actions be marked by your steadfast love and self-less service and never by panic or fear.
Bestow your comfort and healing to the sick, sustain and strengthen them by your grace.
May they know your closeness as they carry the cross of illness.
And may all you have called from this life come to worship you eternally with all the saints as you grant consolation and peace to their mourners. Amen.
Holy Mary, Health of the Sick, pray for us.
St. Joseph, Hope of the Sick, pray for us.
St. Rocco, protector against epidemics, pray for us.
