Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 01/28/24

My Dear Parishioners,

Would you like some special blessings for the good of your body, mind and soul? 
Please join us for Holy Mass, especially next weekend, as we will pray to St. Blaise,
bishop and martyr.  His feast day is February 3rd. This special saint is known for miracles of the throat.   Everyone is invited to receive this special blessing during the exit song on February 3rd and 4th.  Two candles will be placed on your throat and this prayer will be said over you, “Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”  During this special moment of the blessing, please listen to every word in this prayer and invite the Holy Spirit to touch your body, mind and soul so that you may be healed.  Prior to receiving the blessing,
be sure to pray to Jesus, the divine healer, who can do all things in you and for you. 
He is God.  After the blessing, please spend some time in dialogue with Jesus. Thank Him for coming to you in the Holy Eucharist and trust in Him with all your heart, mind and soul.  Finally, leave church in peace and see God in each other, especially in yourself,
a child of God, a disciple of Jesus, a son of Mother Mary, and an imitator of the saints. 
May God’s healing and peace be with you all, Fr. Hien
