Prayer Countdown - 5 Days until 40 Days and Openings Next Week!

Let us prepare ourselves in prayer for the start of 40 Days for Life (in 5 days!), asking for the Holy Spirit to inspire and strengthen us!
 

Let us pray,

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Light immortal! Light Divine! Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill!

Come, O Blessed Spirit of Knowledge, and grant that I may perceive the will of the Father; show me the nothingness of earthly things, that I may realize their vanity and use them only for Thy glory and my own salvation, looking ever beyond them to Thee, and Thy eternal rewards. Amen.

Reminder: 40 Days for Life Kick-Off Rally next Wed. evening, Sept. 26!

You are all invited to attend our kick-off event for 40 Days for Life next Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at St. Mary's Church in Pine Bluff (3673 County Road P, 53528). From Madison - Go west on Mineral Point Road and turn left on P.  Join us between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m, dinner at 6:30pm.  Bishop Morlino and Fr. Heilman will lead us in prayer and provide inspiration as we head into our 40 Days for Life prayer vigil.  We will offer a main entree. If possible, please bring a side dish or dessert to pass.  Visit the beautiful Rosary Garden dedicated to the preborn!  We look forward to seeing you there... and bring a friend!

As you may have noted, we will have begun 40 Days for Life the morning of Sept. 26.  Because Bishop Morlino and the priests of the diocese will be on a retreat from Sunday until Wednesday afternoon, we were unable to schedule the Kick-Off Rally until Wednesday evening.  We are so thankful that Bishop Morlino and Fr. Heilman are able to attend and bless us as we begin our 40 days of prayer and sacrifice; so it was worth the wait!
