Pope Alarm: Worldwide Holy Hour, June 2 - First Time in History

 
 

POPE ALARM !!!


https://www.facebook.com/CatholicVote?fref=ts go to CV at Facebook or online.


Oregon Parish Adoration Chapels...check it out.
Contact your parish for information on this event.  Some Oregon parishes are having a Adoration/Benediction after masses.  Some may have changed mass times to coincide with the Pope's Holy Hour. 


The Pope has asked the universal Church to pray for two intentions during the hour of adoration:
  1. For the Church spread throughout the world and united today in the adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist as a sign of unity. May the Lord make her ever more obedient to hearing his Word in order to stand before the world ‘ever more beautiful, without stain or blemish, but holy and blameless.’ That through her faithful announcement, the Word that saves may still resonate as the bearer of mercy and may increase love to give full meaning to pain and suffering, giving back joy and serenity.
  2. For those around the world who still suffer slavery and who are victims of war, human trafficking, drug running, and slave labor. For the children and women who are suffering from every type of violence. May their silent scream for help be heard by a vigilant Church so that, gazing upon the crucified Christ, she may not forget the many brothers and sisters who are left at the mercy of violence. Also, for all those who find themselves in economically precarious situations, above all for the unemployed, the elderly, migrants, the homeless, prisoners, and those who experience marginalization. That the Church’s prayer and its active nearness give them comfort and assistance in hope and strength and courage in defending human dignity.
From the Cook Islands to Chile, Burkina Faso, Taiwan, Iraq, Bangladesh, the United States, and the Philippines, people will unite in prayer with Pope Francis this weekend before One Lord and in One faith, for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration.
The Worldwide Eucharistic Adoration, will be broadcast from St. Peter’s Basilica next Sunday, 2 June from 5:00pm-6:00pm local time. Its theme is: “One Lord, One Faith”, which was chosen to testify to the deep unity that characterizes it in this Year of Faith.
“It will be an event,” Archbishop Fisichella president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, explained, “occurring for the first time in the history of the Church, which is why we can describe it as ‘historical’. The cathedrals of the world will be synchronized with Rome and will, for an hour, be in communion with the Pope in Eucharistic adoration. There has been an incredible response to this initiative, going beyond the cathedrals and involving episcopal conferences, parishes, lay associations, and religious congregations, especially cloistered ones.”
Dioceses worldwide will be synchronized with St. Peter’s and will pray for the intentions proposed by the Pope. The first is: “For the Church spread throughout the world and united today in the adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist as a sign of unity. May the Lord make her ever more obedient to hearing his Word in order to stand before the world ‘ever more beautiful, without stain or blemish, but holy and blameless.’ That through her faithful announcement, the Word that saves may still resonate as the bearer of mercy and may increase love to give full meaning to pain and suffering, giving back joy and serenity.”

Dear Lord, Please remind and help us to pray before You on June 2nd.  Thank You for deeming  us worthy to be Your children.

Thanks Marie for the heads up.

St. Joseph's Salem will have Adoration/Benediction after the 10am mass.

Remember, one does not need an adoration chapel to do adoration. For thousands of years, the Church prayed
before the Tabernacle. That is adoration.

That is a great option. Just to spend some time before Our Lord and to do our bests at the intentions of the Pope.

I would think that the Lord would just like to be with US.

I see there is now a licit traditional Latin Mass at the Roman Catholic parish in Veneta. This is to give people in Veneta an alternative to the SSPX parish there. There are more details on Fr. Z's blog if this is news to you. Thank God for Archbishop Sample.
