Habemus Papam:

We have a new Pope! I am sure by now you all have heard that American Cardinal

Robert Francis Prevost has been elected the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church, taking

the name of Leo XIV.

The election of a new Pope is always a historic moment in the life of the Catholic

Church, but the election of the first American born Pope is extraordinarily momentous.

Let us keep him in our prayers. Join us on Monday at 2:00 for our Living Rosary being

offered for Pope Leo XIV.

In addition to this groundbreaking news, we have some news of our own. Our Theatre

Department presents “Into The Woods” at Marian University this evening and

Saturday at 7:00 pm. We hope to see you there

Please don’t forget to make plans to attend our annual fundraiser “Rev-Up” on

May 17th . Doors open at 6:00. https://www.cardinalritter.org/o/crhs/page/2024-crhs-raider-rev-up

Lastly, I want to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all women who have loved, nurtured, and raised our students.

God Bless

Mrs. Hoy

Good and gracious God,

We thank you for all mothers - the women you have called to bring forth new life, and

women who provide for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those entrusted to

their care.

Give them the courage to raise Godly children through happy and difficult times and

wisdom to guide their children on the path to eternal life.

Fortify them through your Word and Sacraments to endure the challenges and trials of

motherhood.

Instill in them joy and delight as they accompany their children through the years.

Shower them with care and support from their family and friends.

Comfort those mothers who have lost their children and those children who have lost

their mothers.

In your charity, entrust all mothers to the tenderness of your own Mother, Mary.

We love our mothers, Lord.

We ask for your blessing upon them this day and always. Amen!

Dios de bondad y misericordia:

Te damos gracias por todas nuestras madres, las mujeres que has llamado a traer nueva

vida y quienes atienden las necesidades físicas, emocionales y espirituales de los seres

confiados a su cuidado.

Dales el valor de criar hijos que amen a Dios en momentos felices y difíciles y dales la

sabiduría para guiarlos por el camino conducente a la vida eterna.

Fortalécelas con tu Palabra y con los Sacramentos para que puedan hacer frente a las

dificultades y tribulaciones de la maternidad.

Llénalas de alegría y gozo mientras acompañan a sus hijos durante el transcurso de los

años.

Cólmalas del cuidado y del apoyo de sus familiares y amigos.

Consuela a las madres que han perdido a sus hijos y a los hijos que han perdido a sus

madres.

Por tu misericordia, encomienda a todas las madres a la ternura de tu propia Madre,

María.

Amamos a nuestras madres, Señor.

Te pedimos que las bendigas en este día y siempre. Amén.
