PRAYER & DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS for March 18, 2024

Good morning JCA family. This is Senior Cassandra Gorsky and today is Monday, March 18th, 2024.

Merciful Father, I know that the tiny sacrifices I make this Lent can never serve as a real penance in my life. But help me to make my whole life one of following your Son. I am filled with your love. Let your love shine out from within me and guide my life in this sacred journey toward the Easter joy you offer me.

Amen

  • OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL…. pray for us.
  • FRANCIS OF ASSISI……. pray for us.
