My Jesus, 
I believe that You are present 
in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment receive You 
sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there 
and unite myself wholly to You. 
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

WORSHIP AIDS FOR MASS
In the absence of hymnals in our churches, you are encouraged to download one of the many apps for your smartphone that will allow you to follow along with the readings at Mass (one very popular and useful one is Laudate).  You may also choose to purchase a subscription to Magnificat or another prayer book (www.magnificat.com).  We also have a supply of St. Joseph Missals for the new liturgical year, which begins on the First Sunday of Advent, and they are available for purchase in the parish office once for the cost of $2.00each.  Please contact the parish office, or stop by during office hours, if you'd like to purchase a Missal.
