MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Lector Ministry Convocation 2019 - Saturday, October 5 from 10 AM - Noon.
JUNE ALZHEIMER’S & BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH: St. Dymphna, patron saint of Alzheimer's Disease. Let us pray for all those afflicted and those of who care for them. Currently, the Health Promotions Ministry and the Pastoral Care Team are actively partnering on discerning initiatives to make Lourdes a Dementia Friendly Community. Worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
St. Dymphna (d. 620), according to tradition, was born the daughter of Damon, a pagan king of Ireland. Early in her life she became a Christian, and was secretly baptized. After dodging two misguided attempts of proposal of marriage from her father, he drew his sword and cut off her head. Shortly after her death, five mentally ill individuals wandered to the countryside where she was killed, and slept the night there, only to awaken cured. She has since been invoked as the patron of those suffering from nervous, mental, and Spiritual afflictions.
Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disor-ders and Spiritual afflictions. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask for her intercession. We beg You, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire. We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen.
POPE FRANCIS INTENTIONS FOR JUNE: The Mode of Life of Priests - That priests, through the modesty and humili-ty of their lives, commit themselves actively to a solidarity with those who are most poor.
