From The Pastor:

First Week in Advent

Theme: Advent means ‘coming.’ Jesus comes to be near us, to help us live our daily lives.

Dear Father,

As we begin this Advent season, teach us the true

meaning of Christmas. Each time we light this

candle, remind us that Jesus comes to light our

lives with His love. Let this light in us show forth

to others and bring them closer to Him. Amen. Parish Ministry Fair

January 7-8, 2017

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

We asked the City to paint a Green Loading Zone curb on El Cerrito Drive in front of the church. The engineers agreed. That will help with loading and unloading of passengers. Check out the Blessed Sacrament Church banners on the front and El Cajon Blvd. side of the church.

Daily Prayer for Our Priests

O Jesus,

I pray for your faithful and

fervent priests;

for your unfaithful & tepid

priests;

for your priests laboring at

home or abroad in distant

mission fields;

for your tempted priests;

for your lonely & desolate

priests;

for your young priests;

for your dying priests;

for the souls of your priests

in Purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to

you the priests dearest to me:

the priest who baptized me,

the priests who absolved me

from my sins, the priests at

whose Masses I assisted &

who gave me Your body &

blood in Communion,

the priests to whom I am

indebted any other way

especially (name….)

O Jesus, keep them all close to

your heart, and bless them

abundantly in time & in

eternity. Amen. --St. Therese of Lisieux
