MORNING OFFERING TO THE HOLY TRINITY Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, One God in Three Persons, I praise Thee and give Thee thanks for all the favors Thou has bestowed upon me. Thy goodness has preserved me until now. I offer Thee my whole being and in particular, all my thoughts, words and deeds, together with all the trials I may undergo this day. Give them Thy blessing. May Thy divine Love animate them and may they serve Thy greater glory. I make this morning offering in union with the Divine intentions of Jesus Christ Who offers himself daily in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and in union with Mary, His Virgin Mother and our Mother, who was always the faithful handmaid of the Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen. PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY Glory be to the Father, who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God.
Thank you ‌ to Father John and the many parishioners who prayed for my recovery and sent well wishes throughout my illness. I am doing much better and am very happy to be back playing on Sunday mornings. I am very grateful for your prayers and your concern. Deanna Brister
Glory be to the Son, who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven. Glory be to the Holy Spirit, who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty. Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen.

“FOR GREATER GLORY” OPENS IN THEATRES JUNE 1 “For Greater Glory” is a deeply moving true account of the Cristeros’ fight for freedom of religion in Mexico in the 1920s. The film, starring Eva Longoria, Peter O’Toole, Ruben Blades, and Andy Garcia, vividly depicts the difficult circumstances in which Catholics of that time lived - and died - for their faith. It is very much a story of our own times. Church members, youth groups, and religious organizations are encouraged to see this movie. Group screenings are available at the Grand Theatre, Alexandria. For more information, go to www.ForGreaterGlory.com .
