ADORATION*
Every Thursday after the 7:00 AM Mass until 5:30 PM in the Emmanuel Chapel. Benediction 5:20 - 5:30 PM.Through this practice, we are invited to spend time alone with God in His real, physical form, and to bring to Jesus all our cares, concerns, prayers, hopes, and thoughts. We set aside a special time, a respite from our hectic modern lives, to create a personal space in which to meet our God.
Biblical reason for wanting to spend One Hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament:
“You should take up as your own cause a Holy Hour of Adoration so that Peace and Unity can be brought about in the Church!” (Pope Paul VI - 1963 to 1978
This week, the Sanctuary Lamps are burning for:Blessed Sacrament Chapel †Lloyd L.K. & Mercedes M. Flores, †Guillermo Gonzalez Emmanuel Chapel †Rodolfo Gonzalez
* Adorers are needed to sit before the Blessed Sacrament and adore Jesus on Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Call the Parish Office at (361) 883.4213

Prayer for Vocations
O God, Who wish all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of Your truth: send, we beg You, laborers into Your harvest, and grant them grace to speak Your word with all boldness; so that Your word may spread and be glorified, and all nations may know You, the only God, and Him Whom You have sent, Jesus Christ Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns world without end. Amen.
Below are seven ways to pray for vocations:- Pray Before the Eucharist
- Pray with Mary
- Pray when You’re Sick
- Pray with St. Faustina
- Pray with Catholics worldwide
- Pray at Dinnertime
- Pray with Pope Francis
Just as we know one hour a week isn’t enough to live our Catholic Faith, one day a year isn’t enough to pray for vocations. On April 17, renew your daily resolve—or launch a new movement in your parish—to pray year-round for holy priests and religious. (Article from vianneyvocations.com)
God hears our prayer for more priests and religious!
Join thousands of Catholics by pledging to pray daily or weekly for vocations at: InvisibleMonastery.com
A Prayer for Christian Fathers
~Author Unknown Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen. -

Every Life is Worth Living
Heavenly Father, thank you
for the precious gift of life.
Help us to cherish and protect
this gift, even in the midst of fear,
pain, and suffering.
Give us love for all people,
especially the most vulnerable,
and help us bear witness to the
truth that every life is worth living.
Grant us the humility to accept
help when we are in need,
and teach us to be merciful to all.
Through our words and actions,
may others encounter the
outstretched hands
of Your mercy.
We ask this through
Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
