Family Prayer
L
oving and faithful God, through the
years the people of our archdiocese
have appreciated the prayers and
love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times
of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We
come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother,
and ask you to help us in the battle of today
against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom that
we may build a community founded on the
values of Jesus, which gives respect to the
life and dignity of all people.
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth
that they may be peacemakers of our time.
Give consolation to those who have lost
loved ones through violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity
in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help
us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we
may be a holy family.

Here I Am, Lord
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard My people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin.
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Refrain
Here I am Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me,
I will hold Your people in my heart.
2. I, the Lord of snow and rain.
I have borne My people's pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
“God is rich in mercy . . .” Ephesians 2:4

Like the Bread
Refrain
Like the bread, we are taken.
Like the Christ, we are blessed.
On this altar we are broken,
giv'n as food that all might live,
giv'n as food that all might live.
1. How quickly we reject ourselves,
blinded from our call.
We resign to live in fear
of love, of self, of all.
This is not the will of God,
for the chosen must be free.
We are taken by the love of Christ
to live eternally.
2. Broken like the bread of life,
we o=en flee from pain.
We resign to live our lives,
not knowing death's true gain.
This is not the will of God,
for in dying we will live.
The cross, a sign of victory
and of the healing it will give.

Some say it is good to have,

“The Mystery of God: Who is He and
Why He Matters?” - Presented by Fr.
Robert Barron
Each Fall and Spring we have dynamic study programs over topics such as
“Psalms” and “Mary”. This Fall Fr.
Barron will lead us in how to respond
to the so-called New Atheism, using
the insights of St. Augustine, St.
Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict XIV
and others. He uncovers a clear understanding of what we mean by
“God.” We will also discover how to
share these insights with others—
especially those in our own families!
Please join us for this exciting new
DVD and study program! It will run
from Wed. Sept 23—until Wed. Nov
11 in Parish Community Center at 78:20PM. Pre– registration will be
after all Masses weekend of Aug 29—
30. This is $30, and required to receive the study sets. Information is
now available in the Narthex to pick
up to learn more. For more info contact Jacques Delouche at jdelouche@divinemercyparish.org or
(504)466-5016 ext 115.

SACRED HEART
COLUMN
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of
the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life
within you.” John 6:51
When Jesus revealed the necessity of consuming His Body and
Blood, many of His followers left Him, never to return . It was a
difficult concept to grasp, no doubt. Even those closest to Him
had their reservations. Still today many people including many
Catholics scoff at the idea that the Eucharist is truly the body
and blood of Christ. They are scandalized by the mere thought
of it, and yet many readily accept that the brutalized little bodies of aborted infants can be sold to the highest bidder for use
in medical research. “They are dead anyway”, they say, “it’s
only tissue and is being used to cure many diseases.” As if
that could ever justify these actions! Jesus came for this, He
allowed Himself to be sacrificed in the most brutal manner
and then introduced the unbloody sacrifice of Calvary to be
repeated at every moment of every day all over the world so
that we could be fed by Him and so attain eternal life.
As part of the Mission Cooperative Program, Sr. Marya
Czech, SND of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Toledo OH will be
here on August 30th to speak to us about their mission in
Papua New Guinea and take a collection for their mission.
The Sisters of Notre Dame Toledo Province have been serving since 1850. Mostly a community of educators, they are
instrumental in teaching in several inner-city schools where
the needs are many. Besides teaching and administrating in
school, the Sisters today serve the poor and marginalized
through parish pastoral service, care giving in homes for
impaired adults and orphaned children. There are under 220
Sisters in the Toledo Province and a little over 3000 worldwide. Their ministry in Papua New Guinea began in 1961
and is strong today where they serve as educators and provide pastoral and AIDS respite care.
Magnificat House of Discernment
Magnificat House of Discernment is accepting applications
for the fall of 2015. Single Catholic women are invited to live
in community with Sister mentors to discern their vocational
call. For more information please call (504)227-3203 or

Peter spoke for those who remained, “Master, to whom shall
we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to
believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God”
John 6:68. Come Holy Spirit, fill us with faith in the words of
Jesus, trust in His victory over evil and charity for all those we
meet.
We are in need of a couple of sponsors to help defray the
cost of printing the 2016 Home Calendar given to the parishioners.
Please call the parish office if you would like to place an
advertisement on the calendar.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is interchangeable with the Holy
Eucharist. It is one and the same. Let us adore the Heart of
God. Let us offer our poor, weak hearts to Him who gives us
His glorious Heart in return.

COLUMNA DEL SAGRADO CORAZÓN
"Amén, amén, os digo: si no coméis la carne del Hijo del
Hombre, y no bebéis Su sangre, no tenéis vida en vosotros." Juan 06:51 Cuando Jesús reveló la necesidad de consumir Su Cuerpo, y Su Sangre, muchos de sus seguidores lo
dejaron de seguir, para no volver jamás. Era un concepto difícil
de entender, sin duda. Incluso, las personas más cercanas a él
tenían sus reservas. Aún hoy en día, muchas personas, incluyendo a muchos Católicos, que se burlan de la idea de que la
Eucaristía es verdaderamente el Cuerpo, y la Sangre de Cristo.
Ellos se escandalizan por el mero hecho de pensar en eso, y
sin embargo, muchos aceptan fácilmente, que los pequeños
cuerpos de los bebés abortados brutalmente, pueden ser vendidos al mejor postor, para su uso en la investigación médica.
"Están muertos de todas formas", dicen, "es sólo el tejido, y se
está utilizando para curar muchas enfermedades." ¡Como si
eso podría justificar estas acciones! Jesús vino para esto, Él
permitió ser sacrificado de la manera más brutal, y luego, introdujo el sacrificio incruento del Calvario, que se repite en
cada momento de cada día en todo el mundo, para que pudiéramos ser alimentados por Él, y así alcanzar la vida eterna.
Pedro, habló por los que se quedaron, "Señor, ¿A quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. Hemos llegado a
creer, y sabemos que tú eres el Santo de Dios "Juan 6:68. Ven
Espíritu Santo, llénanos de fe en las palabras de Jesús, la confianza en su victoria sobre el mal, y la caridad para todos
aquellos que nos encontremos. El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús,
es intercambiable con la Sagrada Eucaristía. Es uno, y es el
mismo. Adoremos el Corazón de Dios. Ofrezcamos nuestros
pobres corazones débiles a Aquel que nos da su glorioso corazón a cambio. Para más información, póngase en contacto con

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are in
the Blessed Sacrament. I love You
above all
things, and I
long for You in
my soul. Since I
cannot now
receive You
sacramentally,
come at least
spiritually into
my heart. As
though You have already come, I
embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be
separated from You.
Acto de Comunión
Espiritual
Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en
el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te
amo por encima de todas
las cosas y yo
Te deseo en mi
alma. Como
ahora no puedo recibirte
sacramentalmente, al menos ven a mi corazón espiritualmente. Como ya has venido, Yo te
abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti.
Nunca permitas que me separe de
ti.
