As this is Natural Family Planning Awareness week, it is appropriate to encourage married couples to reverence God’s original plan for married loved. The psalm 106:19‐20, 21‐22, 23 remind all of us to “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.” Married Couples can thank God for the gift of their love, trusting in the goodness of God’s plan for the marital act. 

When husband and wife honor God’s plan for their marriage, they will be agents of spreading the Kingdom that Jesus talks in the Gospel of Matthew 13:31‐35. Jesus provides images of the Kingdom of  Heaven , likening it to the smallest of particles that end up having a disproportionately enormous effect. If Married couples set aside the idol of contraception, with its false promise of control, and instead embrace God’s liberating plan for their love, like yeast in dough, their love will be a powerful agent of expanding the reign of God in our world! 

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.

Sub Tuum Praesidium: “We turn to you for protection, Holy Mother of God. Listen to our prayers and help us in our needs. Save us from every danger, glorious and blessed Virgin.”

The prayer to St. Michael the Archangel: “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”

Our Mission Catholic Faith Community committed to moving forward always in service to the Kingdom of God: attentive to the Word, to Sacrament, to Service, and to Faith Formation.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles

Remember the fact that we can make Spiritual Communions when the sacrament is not available. Use these or your own words: “Lord, I am not able to receive you now sacramentally. Enter into my heart. I embrace you as already there and unite myself to you. Never let me be separated from you.”

Remember that when the sacrament of penance is not available, one should present one’s sorrow directly to God and say a good Act of Contrition. Sins, including mortal ones, are forgiven. When opportunity arises, mention the latter in your next confession just to keep yourself honest. A very simple Act of Contrition that is found in the Rite of Penance is: “Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
