Family Prayer

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with

Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

Offertory How Can I Keep From Singing

1. My life flows on in endless song Above earth's lamenta on. I hear the real though far-off hymn That hails a new crea on. Refrain

No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I'm clinging. Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? 2. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It sounds and echoes in my soul; How can I keep from singing? 3. What, though my joys and comfort die, The Lord, my savior liveth. What though the darkness gather 'round? Songs in the night it giveth.

4. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing. All things are mine since I am his; How can I keep from singing? By: R. Lowry©Public Domain. Used by permission.

Offertory Un1tled Hymn (Come To Jesus)

1. Weak and wounded sinner,

lost and leD to die;

O, raise your head,

for Love is passin' by.

Come to Jesus,

come to Jesus,

come to Jesus and live!

2. Now your burden's liDed

and carried far away,

and precious blood

has washed away the stain.

So sing to Jesus,

sing to Jesus,

sing to Jesus and live!

3. Like a newborn baby,

don't be afraid to crawl.

And remember when

you walk, some mes we fall.

So fall on Jesus,

fall on Jesus,

fall on Jesus and live!

4. Some mes the way is lonely,

and steep and filled with pain,

So if your sky is dark

and pours the rain,

Then cry to Jesus,

cry to Jesus,

cry to Jesus and live!

5. O, and when the love spills over,

and music fills the night,

and when you can't

contain your joy inside,

then dance for Jesus,

dance for Jesus,

dance for Jesus and live!

6. And with your final heartbeat

kiss the world good-bye,

then go in peace,

and laugh on glory's side.

Communion Like the Bread

Refrain

Like the bread, we are taken.

Like the Christ, we are blessed.

On this altar we are broken,

giv'n as food that all might live,

giv'n as food that all might live.

1. How quickly we reject ourselves,

blinded from our call.

We resign to live in fear

of love, of self, of all.

This is not the will of God,

for the chosen must be free.

We are taken by the love of Christ

to live eternally.

2. Broken like the bread of life,

we oDen flee from pain.

We resign to live our lives,

not knowing death's true gain.

This is not the will of God,

for in dying we will live.

The cross, a sign of victory

and of the healing it will give.

Bridge

Some say it is good to have,

but the faithful learn to give.

Like the saints of old

who lived prepared,

we become like Christ

to feed, to share.

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move, when You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through, when You don't give the answers as I cry out to You, I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You. 3. Truth is You know what tomorrow brings. There's not a day ahead You have not seen. So in all things be my life and breath; I want what You want, Lord and nothing less. (to bridge…)

Bridge

You are my strength and comfort; You are my steady hand. You are my firm founda on, the Rock on which I stand. Your ways are always higher; Your plans are always good. There's not a place where I'll go You've not already stood. (to refrain…)

August 5 –7, 2016 at 5500 St. Mary’s Street, Metairie, LA 70006

Only if we have healed the hurts of past relationships, can we relate well to God, authority figures, our spouse, our children, and even ourselves. This retreat will focus on how to heal our relationship with God, with those who have hurt us, and where it is difficult to love ourselves. Each session will end with a prayer process to heal a difficult relationship. The retreat will end with a process to heal future hurts daily and to receive all the life from each day.

Actual Cost: $350 Minimum Offering: $225 Commuters: $150

For additional information, please contact Susan Hal-ligan at shalligan@arch-no.org or 504-267-9604.

Colossians 3:11

How important it is at this time for us to remember and appreciate that we are all equal in the sight of God. Nothing else matters to Him except that we live accord-ing to His will. The blood of Americans is being spilt in our streets. Regardless of skin color, economic status, age, gender - we are all children of God, and He grieves for each one that is slain. We are in the midst of an escalating war which is primarily being fought at the spiritual level, between Lucifer and his minions and the mighty Archangels of God. However, we have a part to play and we are being tested. Each day let us surrender our lives to God so that He can mold us into His

own and so become courageous soldiers to be used by Him to hasten the victory which He promised.

Invite the healing, saving power of Christ into your homes and families through the enthronement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. For information please contact Anne-Marie d'Abadie at 443-2204 or email amdabadie@att.net (English), or Lynda Peña at 338-4306 (Spanish).

GOSPEL: Luke 12:13-21 Today’s gospel (Luke 12:13-21), reminds us of some “counter-cultural” facts. It is not necessary that we go to a good college. But it is absolutely necessary that we go to heaven. Sometimes, the right school will help. But we are asked to think about trusting and relying on God. At Life Teen and Edge, we try to focus our main goals on getting to heaven. Come join us on our journey!

Lo importante que es en este momento para nosotros recordar y apreciar que todos so-mos iguales ante los ojos de Dios. Nada más importa a él, excepto que vivimos conforme a su voluntad. La sangre de los estadounidenses se derrama en nuestras calles. Indepen-dientemente del color de la piel, condición económica, edad, sexo - todos somos hijos de Dios, y Él se aflige por cada uno que está muerto. Nos encontramos en medio de una escalada de la guerra, que principalmente se está librando en el plano espiritual, entre

Lucifer y sus secuaces y los poderosos arcángeles de Dios. Sin embargo, tenemos un papel que desempeñar y estamos siendo probados. Cada día vamos a rendir nuestras vidas a Dios para que Él puede moldear en su propia y así convertirse en soldados valientes para ser usado por Él para acelerar la victoria que ha prometido.

Invitar a la curación, ahorro de energía de Cristo en sus hogares y sus familias a través de la entronización del Sagrado Co-razón de Jesús.

Cada sesión terminará con un proceso de la oración para sanar una relación difícil. El retiro termi-nará con un proceso para sanar futuro dolor todos los días y recibir toda la vida de cada día.

EVANGELIO: Lucas 12: 13-21 El Evangelio de hoy (Lucas 12: 13-21), nos recuerda algunos hechos "contra-culturales". No es necesario que vayamos a una buena universidad. Pero es ab-solutamente necesario que vamos al cielo. A veces, la escuela adecuada ayudará. Sin embargo, se nos pide que pensar acerca de confiar y depender de Dios. En la vida adolescente y Edge, tratamos de enfocar nues-tros principales objetivos en conseguir al cielo. ¡Ven y únete a nosotros en nuestro viaje!

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself en-tirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.

Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-nos ven a mi

corazón espiritualmente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.
