2nd Sorrowful Mystery - The Scourging at the Pillar
Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Concert Friday - Simplicity
Today we celebrate the Feast of St. John Gabriel Perboyre, a Vincentian priest who was martyred for the faith and canonized in 1996.
GOD MOMENT
"How I love you Lord. Only You."
MUSIC
"Simplicity" - is the name of the song chosen for today. It is performed by Rend Collective, a Christian music group out of Northern Ireland. And the words of this song, are indeed simple and beautifully express the desire to give ourselves completely over to the love of God.
Prayer:
O my divine Savior, transform me into yourself.
May my hands be the hands of Jesus. May my tongue be the tongue of Jesus.
Grant that every faculty of my body may serve only to glorify you.
Above all, transform my soul and all its powers
so that my memory, will and affections may be the memory, will and affections of Jesus.
I pray to you to destroy in me all that is not of you.
Grant that I may live but in you, by you and for you, so that I may truly say with St. Paul,
“I live now, not I, but Christ lives in me.”
— St. John Gabriel Perboyre, C.M.
When God promises that He will care for us....do you believe? Truly, believe? As Peggy shares, it's easy oftentimes to confuse our own wants with the blessing of God who ACTUALLY KNOWS what it is that we need.

Complexity of Life - Do you notice how we have made everything in life so complex? Simplicity of words and clarity of meaning can make a difference in understanding the truth and simplify our lives to better understand the love of God.

CALLING ON ANGELS
Jane Sieberry and KD Lang
Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir and all the rest
A man is placed upon the steps and a baby cries
High above you can hear the church bells start to ring
And as the heaviness, oh, the heaviness, the body settles in
Somewhere you can hear a mother sing
Then it's one foot, then the other as you step out on the road
Step out on the road, how much weight, how much?
Then it's how long and how far and how many times
Oh, before it's too late?
Calling all angels, calling all angels
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all angels, calling all angels
We're tryin', we're hopin' but we're not sure how
Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset with such love and intensity
Why?
It's ah, it's almost as if you could only crack the code then you'd finally understand
What this all means
Oh, but if you could, do you think you would trade in all
All the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you'd miss the beauty of the light upon this earth
And the, and the sweetness of the leaving
Calling all angels, calling all angels
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all angels, calling all angels
We're tryin', we're hopin' but we're not sure how
Calling all angels (calling all angels), calling all angels (calling all angels)
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone (walk me through this one, don't leave me alone)
Calling all angels, calling all angels
We're tryin', we're hopin', we're hurtin', we're lovin'
We're cryin', we're callin' 'cause we're not sure how this goes
CHARITY - is recognizing God in all His children. St. Vincent tells us that we must love others because of their inherent dignity as children of the same Father.
“If there are any among us who think they are in the mission to evangelize the poor people but not to alleviate their sufferings, to take of their spiritual needs but not their temporal ones, I reply that we have to help them and have them assisted in every way, by us and by others.”
— St. Vincent de Paul
