“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2

Patrick and his burnt finger

Patrick and his burnt finger

We are open ALL day and ALL night, ALL WEEK!!! We are here to serve you! Come for lunch, dinner, a quiet place to study, a place to pray, a place to have good conversation or to even watch Patrick burn his finger on a candle (yes, it is true…that acutally happened this morning…and he says it still hurts). What is it with college students being pyros? Isn’t it funny how we are naturally drawn to the curiosity of Light? After all, it is what we were created for…for God and God alone! I am not endorsing pyro behavior, but maybe there is a connection…

A Prayer for Finals Week
Now I lay me down to study
I pray the Lord I won’t go nutty,
I can’t remember all this junk
So please dear Lord don’t let me funk.
Now I lay be down to rest
I pray I’ll pass tomorrow’s test.
If I should die before I wake–
That’s one less test I’ll have to take.
AMEN.

Our LAST MASS of the semester is this THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17th 9:30pm. Come for some time of Adoration and an opportunity to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation at 8:30 (hurry, there’s only a week before JesusPC030210.JPG comes and the greatest gift we can give Him is a clean heart for Him to rest His head on…I don’t know about you but I don’t know if I would be quick to put my own head on a dirty diaper of sin!) So come on over, it’s FREE, it’s HOT, everyone’s doing it…WE LOVE CONFESSION!!!!

Year for Priests!

Year for priests!!!!

Pope Benedict XVI has called the whole Church to celebrate a Year for Priests ! His purpose for this year is to encourage priests in their “striving for spiritual perfection on which, above all, the effectiveness of their ministry depends” and to highlight “the importance of the priest’s role and mission in the Church and in contemporary society”.   To do this the Holy Father calls us to a renewed focus on the centrality of Christ in our lives and in the Church and that “brings with it the correct appreciation of the ministerial priesthood, without which there would be neither the Eucharist, nor even the mission nor the Church herself”. This same year is the 150th anniversary of the death of St John Vianney, the patron saint of priests, and also the occasion of the visit to England of the relics of St Therese of Lisieux – who from her Carmelite convent showed her life-long devotion to priests by praying for them, supporting them and corresponding with them.  In a recent letter from Cardinal Hummes, prefect to the Congregation for the clergy he asks that “this year be an occasion for a period of intense appreciation of the priestly identity, of the theology of the Catholic priesthood, and of the extraordinary meaning of the vocation and mission of priests within the Church and in society.catholic matrix priest
