PERPETUAL ADORATION This week is Ash Wednesday, a

time for Penance and reconciliation

in our church. “Be still and know

that I am God supreme among the

nations, supreme upon the

earth.” (Ps 46) Come into the

presence of our Eucharistic Jesus

who is supreme. Come and sit with

Him during this Lenten season. Let

His peace and joy envelop our

souls. Prepare for His

Resurrection and ours by confession, penances,

prayers and the reception of Holy Communion. Bring

our children before Jesus and teach them about the

love and mercy of Jesus and how this Lent we can

draw ever closer to His Divine Heart.

DURING LENT WHY NOT COME AND SPEND

SOME TIME ADORING JESUS. YOU DO NOT

NEED TO BE SCHEDULED. JUST COME AND

BRING YOUR CHILDREN. LET THEM SIT WITH

JESUS. HE ASKS FOR THEM AND YOU.

Adorers are needed for the following hours:

Wednesday 1:00 a.m.-2:00 a.m.

The Mercy Works theme for February

is “Care for the Sick.” As disciples of

Christ and members of His Church, we

are all called upon to be His healing

hands, extending mercy and love to those

among us who are ill or infirmed. Those

who are sick are so often forgotten or

avoided. In spite of their illness, these

individuals still have much to offer to those who take the

time to visit and comfort them. Give blood. Participate in

the next blood drive within your community or at your

work place. For more information on the Diocese of

Camden’s Home and Parish Healthcare Services, contact

VITALity Catholic Healthcare Services at (856) 583-6123.

Visit the website www.camdendiocese.org/mercy .
