| | Lord of All, the way to You is narrow and I don’t want to miss it. Draw me close to You and keep my heart humble so I can enter through Your door. Forgive me when I get distracted by lesser things. Help me seek You first and walk in Your humble grace every day. Amen | | |
“Always consider others as more holy and more worthy than you, at the same time strive to be as holy as you can be.” St. Martin de Porres
Dear Parents,
On Monday, a kindergarten student came running across the courtyard with the biggest smile on her face. As I greeted her, she joyfully exclaimed, “I just got to visit Jesus!” She went on to share that her teacher had taken the class to the new Oratory of the Holy Angels for a visit.
Moments like this have been happening all week, as students from various grades have stopped by to spend time with Jesus. Whether it was after Spanish class, before a math test, or simply “just because,” our students have been taking time for quiet prayer in the Oratory.
We are truly blessed to have Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament on our campus. Thanks to the time, talent, and treasure of our entire community, we now have a sacred space where students can encounter Christ in a personal and meaningful way.
This week, we also celebrate Vocations Awareness Week. Let us take time to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We are especially grateful for the presence of Fr. Lijo, Fr. Roopesh, Fr. Tom, Sister Mary Avila, Sister Chiara Luce, Sister Rene Noel, and Sister Maria Miguel here at Holy Family. Please join us in lifting them up in prayer, along with the priests and sisters who serve in our parishes.
God Bless,
Erin Vu
