ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC RELIGION?
Are you non-Catholic, or do you know a non-Catholic, who may have questions about where God is calling you to grow in faith? Do you feel as though God may be leading you to a deeper relationship with Him? Would you like to explore the possibility of coming to know God through the Catholic faith? We are always ready to enter into discernment with someone and/or to begin the process by which an adult or older child becomes a Catholic, either by full initiation in baptism, confirmation and first communion, or by reception into full communion with the Catholic Church for those baptized in another Christian denomination. Call Aimee Baer at the parish office (561-9431 ext 13) for more details.

St John Fisher Prayer

Most loving Father,
You command me to love You
with all my heart and soul, mind and strength.
But I am sure that I do not do so.
I know this by reflecting on how I loved others:
I loved them to the point of rarely forgetting them.
They were constantly present to my memory,
my heart dwelt on them almost all the time,
and their image ran through my head
in their presence as well as in their absence.

O loving Father,
I regret to say that I do not act this way toward You.
I do not keep You in my memory,
nor do I have You present in my thoughts,
nor is my heart sufficiently occupied with You.
As soon as the merest trifle enters my head,
I drop You and lose sight of You.
As soon as the slightest whim enters my heart,
I discard You and quickly forget You…

So with all the fervour of my being
I ask You to grant me Your Holy Spirit
Who will deliver me from this weakness of mine.
Your Holy Spirit will enable me to love You
with all my heart and soul, mind and strength,
for He is the origin of all true love.

St John Fisher (1469-1535)
