Soooo ... I've forgotten to update on my little phone call problem. The priest called me back on Friday and I let the machine get it. I was scared stiff! But I was online talking to my sister, and she bullied me into calling back right away instead of the "at 2 o'clock ... or next week ... or never" I was thinking of. Thanks Betz :)
I'm not being sarcastic either! It went very well. He wasn't scary at all. He was super nice!They're not doing confirmation this year (they do it every other year) but he's thinking of having us instructed in a special little class (there's a couple other people besides myself) and confirmed at home. That would be the Diocese of Cleveland, for me. So that would mean my sister would probably have to be my sponsor. I'm not gonna make people from southern Ohio drive all that way! Anyway, we'll see what happens. Maybe he'll do an about- face or whatever.
Saint Maria Goretti, patroness of young girls (do I still qualify as a young girl?), pray for us.
Sorry I was late for dinner tonight!
PS I just realized that I can hear the Angelus bells from St. Paul's from my dorm! Every 6 o'clock in the morning, at noon, and at 6 pm. Whoopeee!
The Holy Name of Jesus
Litany of the Holy Name
Novena to the Holy Name
"Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength! You are the refuge of those who repent, our banner of warfare in this life, the medicine of souls, the comfort of those who mourn, the delight of those who believe, the light of those who preach the true faith, the wages of those who toil, the healing of the sick. To You our devotion aspires; by You our prayers are received; we delight in contemplating You. O Name of Jesus, You are the glory of all the saints for eternity. Amen.” - St. Bernardine of Siena
Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the Lord is to be praised!
-Psalm 113.1-3
ACT OF CONSECRATION
To You, Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself today through Your Most Holy Name. I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being without reserve. In particular I consecrate to You my heart so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your divine love. Jesus, I place my trust in Your most Holy and Sacred Name. I beg for the remission of all my sins through Your infinite mercy. I place within Your hands all my cares and anxieties. Do with me what You will, my Jesus. Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your Divine Heart forever. I promise to love You and honor You and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your most Holy Name, until I draw my dying breath. Amen.
