May Crowning at 4pm Mass 5/11
On Saturday May 11th at 4pm, a crown of flowers for Mary is brought up in procession and then placed on her statue by several of our first communion children. This beautiful tradition honors the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as mother to everybody.

The modern life and business of daily living can weigh us down, leave us feeling disoriented, restless or tired. The things of this world will never deeply satisfy, truly only Jesus does. Battle back the weariness and the restlessness, live a set-apart life, by encountering Jesus at Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) through any of the following.
_____
P.S.
๐ Set aside time in silence with Jesus anytime during the week at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel; dial down from the business of life, and take a brief or long respite by having conversations with Jesus. Bring before Him whatever is on your mind and heart. Then, and most importantly, give the Lord the space to respond speaking to you in the silence.
๐ Feel free to share this.

๐๐ต ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ. โThe Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.โ Cornelius, a Roman soldier, falls at the feet of Peter, not because of Peterโs natural goodness, but because Jesus had chosen and appointed Peter to bear fruit. โThe Lord makes his salvation knownโ through the love borne by the apostles. Cornelius symbolically lays down his life for his friend Peter, who will soon replicate that gesture in martyrdom. โLet us love one another, because love is of God.โ

๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต 4 ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด last Friday addressed the ways couples will inevitably hurt each other and how to resolve these issues. We looked at the process of healing through talking about the hurt, saying sorry, and forgiving. Couples were encouraged to always cultivate a spirit of forgiveness toward one another and entrust hurts to Jesus, allowing God's love to transform the pain, for what isn't transformed is inevitably transmitted.
A brief pictorial recap is below. Let us be in prayer for all the couples asking God to bless their time with each other as they break open the impact each person's family background has on their marriages at tonight's date night.

Although each date night builds upon the previous night, ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฅ๐ก๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐. Each date night is also designed to be enjoyed independently from the previous date night.
Take this opportunity to invest in the flourishing of your relationship. Secure your place now and prioritize the enrichment of your marriage.
