“In Christ, we have redemption by his Blood, and forgiveness of our sins, in accord with the riches of his grace” (Eph 1:7). Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us.

We turn to you Loving Mother confident that you are with us in our rejoicing and in our sorrow. Walk with us, Blessed Mother. Teach us to care for our common home and to be grateful stewards of all God’s gifts.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Through his intercession, may we grow in holiness and in fidelity to the Word of God.

Mary, Heart of the Holy Family, teach us to honor Joseph, your loving husband, and to imitate him in humble obedience to God’s Word.

Holy Week begins next Sunday, March 29. 🌿 The Archdiocese of Newark will join the Universal Church as Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin presides over Holy Week liturgies at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in #Newark. @CardinalJWTobin rcan.org/archdiocese-of…

“God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him.” (Jn 3:17). Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, pray for us.

Mary Mother of our Lord, as we journey together in hope encourage us in our weakness and enlighten us in our confusion. We look to you as a sure guide when we have lost our way.

“For the Tobin clan in southwest Detroit, St. Patrick’s Day was the beginning of spring.” Cardinal Tobin reflects on the life of #SaintPatrick, sharing family traditions while inviting us to celebrate and learn from the saints, our “older brothers and sisters” in faith. @CardinalJWTobin jerseycatholic.org/cardinal-tobin…

“God is for us a refuge and strength, a helper close at hand, in time of distress: so we shall not fear though the earth should rock, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea (Ps 46). Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhaoibh! (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!)

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, intercede for all who are suffering from illness, economic hardship or social unrest. By the power of the Holy Spirit, may we walk together as sisters and brothers in Christ your Son.

“Sing praise to the Lord, you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger lasts but a moment; a lifetime, his good will. At nightfall, weeping enters in, but with the dawn, rejoicing” (Ps 30).

Help us, Mary, Mother of the Church, to seek your Son, and to find Him in Word, Sacrament and Service to “the least of these,” our brothers and sisters.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. 
Many are the troubles of the just man,
but out of them all the Lord delivers him” (Ps 34). Our Redeemer is close to us always.

Mary most holy, inspire us with your single-hearted love for your Son, Jesus. May we follow your example, and live as you did, placing all our trust in the providence of God.

“Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me” (Ps 51). God is merciful. He invites us to change our hearts and return to Him.

We come to you, Loving Mother Mary, knowing that you will help us—now and always.

“To love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself, is worth more than any sacrifice” (Mk 12:33). Love of God and neighbor is the only thing God asks of us.

Mother of Holy Hope, comfort us and share with us your confidence in God’s mercy.

“Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides” (Ps 95). Let us adore Him the Lord our God.
