PARISH MISSION STATEMENT: �
We, the Catholic faithful of The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Parish, in union with our Holy Father, the Pope, and our
Bishop, are called through Baptism to share in the ministry
which Jesus Christ has entrusted to the One, Holy,
Catholic, and Apostolic Church. As priest and lay faithful
in a rural area, we utilize our energy to serve the spiritual
needs of the Kingdom of God to promote a culture of life,
justice, and peace to this generation and the generations
that follow us.
PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Heavenly beauty and
splendor of the Father, you are the most valued Heavenly
treasure.
New Eve, immaculate in soul, spirit and body, created of
the godly seed by the Spirit of God, you are the spiritual
Mother of mankind.
Pure Virgin, full of grace then and now, your whole being
was raised Heavenly in full glory, to be elevate-d above
all the hosts within the Kingdom of God.
O Heavenly Mother, Queen of Heaven and earth, I
recognize the glory of your highest title, the Immaculate
Heart of Mary!
Loving Mother, dispenser of endless blessings, you who
continually intercede on our behalf,
please present my need before your loving Son, Jesus.
(Mention your request)
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, I know that you are now
presenting my need before Jesus, for you have never
turned away those in dire need.
Mother dearest, I await your favorable answer,
submitting myself to the Divine will of the Lord, for all
glories are His for ever and ever. Amen.

A Prayer for our Military
God our Father, walk
through my house and
take away all my
worries; and please
watch over and heal
my family. Heavenly
Father, hold our troops
in Your loving hands.
Protect them as they
protect us. Bless them
and their families for
the selfless acts they
perform for us in this,
our time of need. These things I humbly ask
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and
Savior. Amen.
Please pray for:

The First Reading is from the first Book of Kings (19:4-8).
The Lord feeds Elijah, strengthening him for his journey to
Horeb.
The Responsorial Psalm (34:2-9) A prayer of praise to God
for his goodness.
The Second Reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the
Ephesians (4:30—5:2). The Ephesians are encouraged to be
imitators of Christ.
The Gospel Reading is from the Gospel of John (6:41-51).
The lens through which we view life makes a difference. It
also determines who we choose to learn from and what we
allow to shape our thoughts and feelings. For many, life is
simply what it appears to be, a given that either through
evolution or some other means just came to be. There is no
apparent rhyme or reason to things and things can be
dissected and understood only in terms of what they
empirically present. To the person using this lens, a tree is a
tree and a flower is a flower. Their composition and
existence can be understood only to the extent that current
human knowledge allows. Through this lens, what gives life
purpose and meaning? This lens has an essentially unknown
beginning and definite end. Once those are accepted, the
middle becomes some kind of pursuit of happiness, with
values and principles being things that are self-created and
found acceptable.
But there is a Divine lens that also exists and deserves
mention. It is found when one stumbles upon faith and
begins to see things differently. This lens is of God and
reveals a Divine Energy and Life that flows through and in all
things. Faith then shows us that all that lives come from this
one Source of Love. This is the only true lens that can give
human beings the purpose and meaning they desperately
need. From this perspective, all of life is much more than
what is immediately apparent! It now tells and reveals a story
about God generous, creative, and unconditional love! The
unfolding of the human story is the unfolding of God’s story.
What meaning our lives have when they are viewed as a part
of God’s love affair with humanity! We are indeed special.
The lens of our faith asks us to learn from Jesus Christ.
Jesus, as the real Bread of Life, shows us our eternal destiny
and completes and frames our lives. It is only in allowing
ourselves to be taught by Jesus, that faith, hope, and love take
on much greater importance. All the relationships in our
lives are now structured and ordered using God’s primary
commandment of love. Jesus, then, is not just some man
who lived at some point in history. Jesus is the incarnate Son
of God who shows us the way, the truth, and the life. Using
this lens changes things up a great deal. Looking at the
creation that surrounds you and the special unique people
you love, what is God trying to teach you about His love for
you and the eternal life He wants you to have?
