An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Focus on Religious Freedom
www.cffor.org
Singing, Bible Study, Fellowship & Worship Banned - Again!
A network of California churches filed a lawsuit in July against Gov. Gavin Newsom after he re-imposed a coronavirus lockdown with orders against holding church services and bans on singing,
chanting and all private home religious gatherings. "We've been essential for 2,000 years," said a CA Pastor, Che Ahn.

"Newsom encourages tens of thousands of people to gather for mass protests, (but) he bans all in-person worship and home Bible studies and fellowship. Such repression is well-known in despotic governments and it is shocking that even home fellowship is banned in America," said Matt Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel. "This outrage will not stand."
(2)
Gov. Newsom is not the only governor unconstitutionally restricting church activities. Federal lawsuits are also pending in Courts of Appeal against Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, and Virginia. However, federal courts around the country are split on whether religious liberty protections of the 1st Amendment will stand during a pandemic. It is troubling that court in New Mexico recently ruled against the First Amendment.
Defending Religious Freedom "Gathering, in short, is at the core of faith and religion. ... This time of restriction and confinement has confirmed for me that no freedom is more important than religious freedom," said Elder David Bednar of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. "Protecting a person's physical health from the coronavirus is, of course, important, but so is a person's spiritual health. ... Never again must the fundamental right to worship God be trivialized below the ability to buy gasoline."

Silent No More!
The Bishops of the United States remind us that, “In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and
participation in political life is a moral obligation.” (4)
Elected officials and their staff listen to, read and tabulate citizens’ concerns and opinions when making decisions for their state and for the country. Do not be silent. Please contact one or more Senator or Congressman each week to encourage those who share your Catholic values and to inform others. *Call Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to be connected to any Representative or Senator’s office *Email: Find Representative’s emails at www.house.gov Find Senator’s emails at www.senate.gov

In collaboration with
The Ancient Order of Hibernians ~ Men and Ladies ~

Invite you to join us as we celebrate
The 141st
Anniversary of the Apparition of
Our Lady Of Knock ~ Queen of Ireland
Friday, August 21, 2020
Holy Mass ~ Church of St. Joseph ~ 7:00 P.M.
The History of Our Lady of Knock On a wet Thursday evening of the 21st August, 1879, at about 8 o’clock, Our Lady, St. Joseph and St. John the
Evangelist appeared in a blaze of Heavenly light at the south gable of Knock Parish Church ~ Co. Mayo, Ireland. Be-
hind them and a little to the left of St. John was a plain altar. On the altar was a cross and a lamb with adoring
angels. The Apparition was seen by fifteen people whose ages ranged from six years to seventy-five and included
men, women and children.
The witnesses described the Blessed Virgin Mary as being clothed in white robes with a brilliant crown on her
head. Over the forehead where the crown fitted the brow, she wore a beautiful full-bloom golden rose. She was in
an attitude of prayer with her eyes and hands raised towards Heaven. St. Joseph was on her right and turned to-
ward her in an attitude of respect. St. John was on Our Lady’s left, dressed in white vestments and resembled a
bishop, with a small mitre. He appeared to be preaching and held an open book in his hands.
The witnesses watched the Apparition in pouring rain for two hours, reciting the Rosary. Although they them-
selves were soaking wet from the rain, not a single drop fell on the church gable or the vision. Our Lady spoke no
word to those gathered ~ she didn’t need to ~ they were listening with their hearts. Please join us as we honor Our
Lady of Knock and pray that we also will listen with awe and wonder and respond in faith.
GOLDEN ROSE
QUEEN OF IRELAND
LADY OF KNOCK
