As requested by Bishop Zurek in his letter to all Catholics of the Diocese of Amarillo, please consider all Fridays between this Friday (September 14) and the last Friday of November (November 30) as days of abstinence, fasting, penance, and prayer. You may choose whatever form of these disciplines is best for you. Abstinence might take the form of not eating meat or some other food that you usually enjoy, while fasting might mean not eating any snacks or eating less food that usual. Examples of penitential acts include adts of charity or practicing the corporal and/or spiritual works of mercy. Some prayer forms that can be used are the rosary, spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, or reading and reflecting on passes from the Bible.
As a parish family, we will begin this period of penance, fasting, and prayer, with a Holy Hour this Friday (September 14) from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the church. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed during this time and the Holy Hour will conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Please join us as we seek forgiveness for the sins of the Church and pray for healing for all victims of abuse.
