Web Site News
I am in the process of changing the layout and formatting of the web site. This may take several weeks to complete. If you have any comments or suggestions or if you notice any errors, please send me an email by clicking on the "Contact" link at the bottom or top of the page. I am especially interested in knowing of formatting problems that appear in browsers other than Firefox 3.5 or Internet Explorer 7.
Several changes that have been made already:
- The altar server list has been added
- The weekly liturgical calendar has been removed from the home page. There are links to the liturgical calendar on catholocity.net (which was the source of the calendar I used here) on the navigation bar and in the Mass Schedule section.
- The links have been organized.
- Only a portion of the long prayers is displayed on this page. There are links to the full text of each prayer.
- I have started cleaning up the rather messy HTML code that was generated by Microsoft FrontPage when I first created the web site.

The priory of Clear Creek Monastery was elevate to the status of self-governing Abbey on February 11, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. The prior, Fr.

Interview with Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI)
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and all the instruments of His Holy Passion, that Thou mayest put division in the camp of Thine enemies, for as Thy beloved Son hath said, "a kingdom divided against itself shall fail."
Pope Pius XII on the importance of making a proper thanksgiving after receiving Holy Communion:
[S]hould we not approve of those who, when they receive holy communion, remain on in closest familiarity with their divine Redeemer even after the congregation has been officially dismissed, and that not only for the consolation of conversing with Him, but also to render Him due thanks and praise and especially to ask help to defend their souls against anything that may lessen the efficacy of the sacrament and to do everything in their power to cooperate with the action of Christ who is so intimately present?
We exhort them to do so in a special manner by carrying out their resolutions, by exercising the Christian virtues, as also by applying to their own necessities the riches they have received with royal Liberality. The author of that golden book The Imitation of Christ certainly speaks in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the liturgy when he gives the following advice to the person who approaches the altar, "Remain on in secret and take delight in your God; foe He is yours whom the whole world cannot take away from you."
Prayers
Prayer for Pope Benedict
“Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves. “ [Pope Benedict XVI, 24 April, 2005]
The Holy Father has come under personal attack on many fronts recently as a result of child abuse allegations in his archdiocese in Germany while he was the archbishop. Many press reports insinuate these incidents involve him personally. Please pray for Pope Benedict and for those who are attempting to undermine his authority and reputation, as well as those of the Church. Also pray for all others involved in these incidents, most especially the children.
V. Let us pray for our Pontiff, Pope Benedict.
R. May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and bless him upon earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.
Our Father. Hail Mary.
Let us pray.
O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all Thy faithful people, look mercifully upon Thy servant Benedict, whom Thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Government
We pray, Thee O Almighty and Eternal God! Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, Pope N., the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the government of his Church; our own bishop, N., all other bishops, prelates, and pastors of the Church; and especially those who are appointed to exercise amongst us the functions of the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways of salvation.
Pope Leo XIII's Prayer to St. Michael (original form)
GLORIOUS Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and fearful warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come thou to the assistance of men, whom Almighty God created immortal, making them in His own image and likeness and redeeming them at a great price from the tyranny of Satan. Fight this day the battle of the Lord with thy legions of holy Angels, even as of old thou didst fight against Lucifer, the leader of the proud spirits and all his rebel angels, who were powerless to stand against thee, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that great dragon was cast forth, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduces the whole world; and he was cast forth upon Earth, and his angels were sent with him.Useful Information
