In memory of our sister in the Dominican Laity, Mary Fazio, here is the prayer we are praying in unison with Fr. Arsenius for the 30 days beginning February 14, 2019.
PRAYING FOR MARY FAZIO DURING GREGORIAN MASSES
Celebrated by Fr. Arsenius
30 consecutive days beginning on February 14, 2019
“Oh God, whose property is ever to have mercy and to spare,
we humbly entreat Thee on behalf
of the soul of Thy handmaid
Mary Antonietta Fazio
whom Thou hast bidden to pass out of this world:
that Thou wouldst not deliver her
into the hands of the enemy nor forget her forever,
but command her to be taken up by the holy angels,
and to be born to our home in paradise,
that as she had put her faith and hope in Thee
she may not undergo the pains of hell
but may possess everlasting joy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son,
who lives and reigns with Thee
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever. Amen.”
Please remember to pray the Office of the Dead for All Parents of Dominicans on February 7th. NOTE!
Due to snow storm the suffrages on the 9th have been cancelled!
(Hopefully you can join us in community on February 9th at Holy Rosary Church for the 8 am Mass, with Rosary and Office of the Dead following, for our community obligation of suffrages. Cancelled!)
We made up for the cancellation, and prayed the Office of the Dead (Vespers) on Feb. 20, 2019 in Sienna Hall and Rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the church. There were 12 of us there.
Please remember to pray the Office of the Dead for All Souls on November 2nd. Hopefully you can join us in community on November 3rd at Holy Rosary Church for the 8 am Mass, with Rosary and Office of the Dead for our community obligation of suffrages.
Please remember to pray the Office of the Dead for All Dominican Souls on November 8th. Please join us in community on November 10th at Holy Rosary Church for the 8 am Mass, with Rosary and Office of the Dead to follow for our community obligation of suffrages.
