Parish Bulletin Article: "Fall on your Knees": 8-8-17

Earlier this week we heard about another atrocity event in our country—this time in Las Vegas.  Dozens of brothers and sisters were killed; hundreds were injured, and some of these are still in hospitals with critical conditions; thousands experienced a traumatic incident. 
When we Catholics and Christians learn about circumstances like this, we should fall on our knees and pray to Jesus Christ for our brothers and sisters that were hurt from evil.
The best place to fall on your knees is in our Eucharistic Adoration chapel.  This is one of the most powerful places to connect with our King—with or without our words.  St. Paul wrote in Romans 8:26: “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.” 
Continue to pray for all victims, loved ones, relatives, friends and sufferings. 
And always remember: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

God Bless
