Prayer for Priests

Care and Share 2015

O Jesus, Eternal Priest, look down with love

upon Thy priests. Fill them with burning zeal
for the conversion of sinners. Keep them within
the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart. Keep unstained their anointed hands. which daily touch
Thy Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips purpled with Thy precious Blood. Keep pure and
unearthly their hearts sealed with the sublime
marks of Thy glorious Priesthood. Let Thy holy
love protect them from the world's contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may
the souls to whom they minister on earth be one
day their joy and consolation in heaven. Amen.

How much of my Care & Share gift will go directly toward fulfilling ministries of our Church
in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings (aka Church
of Eastern Montana)?
For every dollar contributed, 98 cents will go towards supporting the important Care & Share ministries and services provided by our diocese.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Stewardship Thoughts
Lenten Message from Pope Francis

March 22, 2015

"how greatly I desire that all those places where

the Church is present, especially our parishes and
our communities, may become islands of mercy in
the midst of the sea of indifference!"

"I will be their God and they shall be my people." -

Jeremiah 31:33
What does it mean to be God's people? It means we
recognize that everything we have and everything we
are belongs to God. We aren't "owners" of anything,
we are merely "stewards" of the gifts God has given
us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our
lives to care for our neighbors and the world, just as
God cares for us.
