Celebrate Adele, June 10 Today we remember Adele de Batz de Trenquelleon founder of the Marianist sisters who was born on this day in 1789. Let us pray:God of light, Your Son shared our flesh and blood and built us into a living, vibrant community. Guide us by the Spirit to welcome Christ into our lives. May our lives witness to our faith in You. May our lives imitate the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May our lives be one of sharing and serving each other. May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen. |
Pentecost, June 12
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit,

the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
