God Bless Mother’s ~ Philippians 4:19

Adoration ~ Wednesday noon to 3:00

A gentle touch of dew

The lovely sunset’s hue

So may he give to you

From his enduring love

Great happiness

and hearts’ content

And blessings from above.

O Lord, you have taught us that without love

whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your Holy

Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift,

which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue,

without which whoever lives is accounted dead before

you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus

Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy

Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Happy Mothers Day!

Prayer to the Mother of the Lord for all Mothers

Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, we turn to you. We thank the Lord whom you serve for the gift of motherhood. Never has it been known that anyone who sought you intercession was left unaided by grace. Dear Mother, thank you for your “Yes” to the invitation of the angel which brought heaven to earth and changed human history. You opened yourself to God’s word and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

Dear Mother, intercede for all our mothers. Ask your Divine Son to give them the grace of surrendered love so that they can join with you in giving their own “Fiat.” May they find daily

strength to say yes to the call of sacrificial love– the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your son.

Important Announcement from the Office of Safe Environment

The Diocese of Burlington is publishing a revised 2018 edition of the Policies on Ethics and

Integrity in Ministry, which comes out of the Office of Safe Environment Programs. These policy

revisions were made based on recommendations from our most recent audit in September 2017.

Changes to the policies include updated terminology and additional provisions, among other small

changes. All Church personnel (as defined in the policy) must comply with these policies by

following the proper protocol for child abuse training, background checks, reporting procedures, and

more. This policy revision also includes updated versions of the two Codes of Conduct. The new

policies and Codes of Conduct are incorporated into all Safe and Sacred training courses. You can

also find the revised policies, the updated Codes of Conduct, and Bishop Coyne’s Letter of

Promulgation on the diocesan website:
