Prayer to St. Michael

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness
& snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
& do thou O prince of the heavenly host
by the power of God
thrust into Hell Satan & all evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Freshman Update

Hello, freshmen!

Thank you for a great meeting this week. We enjoyed discussing the deeper meaning behind the 10 Commandments with you & seeing your illustrations of how we can follow the first three. Here's a poster putting some of them together. =] Please, remember to bring a picture(s) of you with your parents/family to share as we start discussing the 4th Commandment next week. This is a simple way to get a better idea who you are talking about even if we haven't had the privilege to meet them all in person yet.

We're going to start having a few prayer books, CDs, meditations available for you to use when you lead closing prayer for the group. You are welcome to prepare something on your own & bring it as well. Maybe it could be a favorite scripture passage of yours, a reflection from the Saint of the day, etc. If you are using our materials, you may want to come a few minutes early on the night that you lead so you can pick something out before we get started.

Just a reminder that if you are unable to join us or will be arriving late, we would really appreciate a call/text/e-mail to US prior to start time (not just telling a friend). We will call if we don't hear directly from you/your parents just to make sure you are okay. If you know you won't be here for a few meetings in a row because of a sport, play, etc., you can tell us that & we'll mark you down that way so we don't have to call. This will allow us to focus all of our attention on who is here for the night & not be juggling so much. Also, remember that we will ALWAYS post on the blog (& e-mail if it's last minute) any time that we are not meeting including snow days. If you can't get to a computer & are wondering, just call!

Thank you & see you next Wednesday!

Special Indulgence

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins & save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy Mercy.Please, take the opportunity this week to gain a plenary (full) indulgence for a poor soul in Purgatory by visiting a Church or cemetery specifically to pray for the dead. Remember that you must go to Confession, receive Communion, & offer prayers for the Holy Father's intentions within a week as well. It is a partial indulgence any other time during the year. Your prayer could be the one to lead them eternally into Heaven!

May the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
