Once again, to connect to the live-stream,
people should go to www.miqparish.org and click
on the live-stream tab on the right, under the word
“welcome”. (It is right above the picture of the
angels.) Then scroll down to the video. This option
also allows people to view past Masses, so if a time
given is inconvenient for watching the Mass live,
they can always view it later.

MARCH
O glorious Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ,
to thee do we raise our hearts and hands to implore thy
powerful intercession in obtaining from the benign Heart
of Jesus all the helps and graces necessary for our
spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a
happy death and the favors we now implore—the
spiritual and temporal needs of our parish, our school,
our seminary and our convent. O glorious Saint Joseph,
through the love thou bearest to Jesus Christ and for the
glory of His name, hear our prayers and obtain our
petitions. Jesus, Mary and Joseph assist us. Amen.

Prayer to St. Joseph for Purity
Saint Joseph, father and guardian of virgins, into whose
faithful keeping were entrusted Innocence itself, Christ
Jesus, and Mary, the Virgin of virgins, I pray and
beseech thee through Jesus and Mary, those pledges so
dear to thee, to keep me from all uncleanness, and to
grant that my mind may be untainted, my heart pure, and
my body chaste; help me always to serve Jesus and Mary
in perfect chastity. Amen.

I bind unto myself today the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, the One in Three.

I bind this day to me forever by power of faith Christ’s incarnation,

His Baptism in the Jordan river,

His death on the Cross for my salvation;

His bursting from the spiced tomb,

His riding up the heavenly way,

His coming at the day of doom,

I bind unto myself today.

I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead,

His eye to watch,

His might to stay,

His ear to harken to my need,

The wisdom of my God to teach,

His hand to guide,

His shield to ward,

The Word of God to give me speech,

His heavenly host to be my guard.

I bind unto myself the name, the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, Of whom all nature hath creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word;

Praise to the God of my salvation; salvation is of Christ
the Lord!

Amen.

breakfast next Sunday after the 9:00 am Mass.

It seemed that all Portugal knew it by now. The Blessed
Mother had promised a miracle for October, a miracle so great that
all would believe in the reality of the apparitions…Murmurs of
impatience and disappointment were being heard among the crowd.
But suddenly Lucy exclaimed: “Kneel down, Jacinta, for now I see
Our Lady.” There it was, a familiar flash that heralded the
appearance of the Heavenly visitor. The faces of the children
assumed an ecstatic expression, and once more the bystanders
realized that they were gazing at the beautiful Lady. The Lady kept
her promise to tell them who she was. She announced: “I am the
Lady of the Rosary.” Her face grew grave as she imparted her last
message to the children. “People must amend their lives, ask pardon
for their sins, and not offend Our Lord any more for He is already
too greatly offended.”
As she took her leave of the children she opened her hands,
and from them rays of light extended in the direction of the sun.
“There she goes! There she goes!” shouted Lucy and her words
found echo in a great cry of astonishment from the multitude, by
now observing the first awe-inspiring manifestations of the Miracle
of the Sun…Down it hurtled, closer and closer to earth, staggering
“drunkenly” as it zigzagged through the skies while from all parts of
the now terrified multitude arose cries of repentance and appeals for
mercy.
“It’s the end of the world,” shrieked one woman hysterically.
“Dear God, don’t let me die in my sins,” cried another.
“Holy Virgin, protect us,” implored a third…
While people looked at one another, still trembling from their
terrifying experience and not yet sure that some further disaster
would not overtake them, a cry of astonishment was heard on every
side. Their rain-sodden garments had suddenly dried and everybody
felt comfortable and warm. It was a gracious maternal gesture on the
part of the Blessed Mother, in the wake of the greatest miracle our
generation has ever known.
