If you receive an email from Father Gerry asking for “help”, please be advised that it is a SCAM. Father Gerry is NOT sending these emails.
Do not reply to the emails or “click” on any link contained in the body of the email. Immediately “block” the sender and place in your “junk” box.
Scammers are getting good and tricky. They are making the email look like it’s coming from Father Gerry at OLLV. If you have any questions about this, please call the parish office.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present
in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and
unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen. https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions/act-of-spiritual-communion-339
SAINT PIUS OF PIETRELCINA (1887-1968) September 23
Did the World War II American flyer really see Padre Pio in midair, preventing the bombing of his village below? Did Pio actually “bilocate” in Italy, the Holy Land, even America, as countless witnesses testified? Or “read hearts” before penitents spoke? What of the stigmata, Christ’s wounds imprinted on Padre Pio’s hands, feet,
and side? John Paul II, who as a young man visited Pio, never mentioned these extraordinary elements at the canonization. Instead, the pope spoke of “trials accepted with love,” referring perhaps to sanctions restricting Pio’s faculties for hearing confessions and celebrating public Mass, imposed because of criticism, later discredited, sent to the Vatican; of Pio’s offering his sufferings in union with Jesus’ passion for a suffering world; of his continual availability to sinners seeking direction and absolution; of Padre Pio’s prayer that blossomed in charity, especially through his House for the Relief of Suffering, a healthcare facility that anticipated by decades today’s holistic partnering of medical science and spirituality. Finally, how comforting for us ordinary Christians, this extraordinary saint’s most frequent advice: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry!” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
APOLOGETICS Do Catholics worship saints? No.
Adoration is the worship and homage that is due to God alone. The Saints are human like you and I. They are not divine. Adoration of the saints has never been nor will ever be part of Catholic teaching or prayer. We venerate the saints.
Veneration is the honor due to the excellence or achievement of a created person. —https://www.catholicnewsagency.com

A Prayer for Those Affected by the Recent Fires God of life and death,
Our prayers today are where our hearts and minds have been during these last days and where they have been drawn so early in this season; with those communities and individuals whose lives have been damaged in differing ways by the fires.
We pray for all those who have been affected; for the families and friends of those who have been killed.
We pray for those who are missing, for their safety, for the fears of those who love them; bring each one home safe, we pray.
We pray for those who have been injured and survived: for physical and emotional trauma; for the fear and helplessness experienced; for the anger and frustration at the injustice of unavoidable disaster.
We pray for those who have lost their home and property or are facing such loss: for those who have been forced to leave their memories and belongings; for the fear & disorientation of all involved; Heal them from their nightmare memories.
We pray for all involved in fighting the fire: we pray for courage in a place of fear; for new strength in the face of exhaustion; for people who have travelled distances in order to resource those who experience fatigue.
Keep us faithful and alert in our praying and our action, In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
