Stations of the Cross March 1, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm A Little About The Stations of the Cross In the 4th Century, St. Jerome wrote about pilgrims from around the world traveling to Jerusalem to visit the holy sites connected with Jesus, especially the places where he took up his Cross, carried it through the city streets, and was crucified. There is actually a tradition that says Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was the one who began this devotion after Jesus’ Ascension as she would lovingly retrace the final steps of her Son along the Via Dolorosa. Early in the 13th Century St. Francis of Assisi promoted pilgrimages to the “Via Sacra” (“The Sacred Way”) in Jerusalem and emphasized this devotional practice of meditating on the Passion of Christ. Later, his followers started building outdoor replicas of The Stations throughout Europe. However, the number of stations varied from town to town ranging from anywhere from 5 to 30 stations for the worshipper to keep. By the 17th Century, the traditional form of 14 Stations of the Cross had become standard practice (the ones in this book plus two more stations where Jesus falls, a station of Jesus and His mother, and one where a woman wipes His face), and when Pope Clement XII officially issued guidelines for the devotion it become the norm. Our Service focuses on the 10 stations of the Cross, which come directly from the Bible, but there is no need to think that there is anything wrong with keeping the other Stations celebrated elsewhere. We simply want to focus upon what the Bible says about Jesus and His Cross. See more details • | 2 |

- St Patrick, Bishop & Confessor
St Patrick, Bishop & Confessor March 17, 2024 St Patrick, Bishop and Missionary of Ireland
Born a Britain, Patrick (c. 390 - c. 460) was captured by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. During his six years as a slave, he prayed often and came to know our Lord, whom he had previously taken for granted. God revealed to him in a dream that he would be freed from slavery, and upon his return to Britain, he studied for the priesthood and was ordained. Patrick then felt called to return to the land of his captors to spread the Gospel, thereby helping in the conversion of Ireland. May God grant us like patience in our afflictions, so that we might bring forth fruit for the greater glory of Almighty God. Collect: O Almighty God, who in thy providence didst choose thy servant Patrick to be an apostle to the people of Ireland, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of thee: Grant us so to walk in that light, that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through the merits of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord.

St. Benedict March 21, 2024 Saint Benedict, Abbot
Saint Benedict (c. 480 - 550) is the father of Western monasticism. Benedict renounced the worldly education he was receiving as a youth in Rome, and became a hermit in Subiaco, Italy. He began a monastery there, which was followed by another one in Monte Cassino. In all, he created twelve monasteries of twelve monks each,which were called "schools for the Lord's service." He lived the remainder of his life with a small band of monks at Monte Cassino, where he composed what would come to be known as the Rule of Saint Benedict - marked by prudence, obedience and monastic zeal. Unique among rules, his provides both founding principles and an outline of the monastic way of life. Having never been ordained, he serves as a model for all in our day, of faithfulness and a godly focus of life. Collects: O God, the exceeding great reward of those who forsake all earthly things for thee: grant that we who celebrate the passing of the holy father Benedict may be aided by his example and prayers to despise all temporal things and with all our heart press on towards things eternal. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty and everlasting God, who as on this day didst release thy most venerable Confessor Benedict from the prison-house of the flesh, that thou lightest lift him up to heaven: we beseech thee, grant unto us thy servants who keep this festival the pardon of all our sins; that we, who with glad hearts rejoice in his glory, may at his intercession with thee be made partakers of his everlasting reward. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. See more details - Morning Prayer

24- Palm Sunday
- St. Gabriel the Archangel
St. Gabriel the Archangel March 24, 2024 Saint Gabriel the Archangel
Gabriel, whose name means 'Power of God,' is mentioned in the Old Testament as having appeared to Daniel in order to help him with the interpretations of his visions and the impending time of Christ's birth (Daniel 8:16-26 and 9:21-27). In the New Testament he proclaims the birth of John the Baptist to Zachariah (Luke 1:13-20). However, Gabriel is perhaps best known for announcing to the Virgin Mary that she would be the 'God-bearer' of the Son of God through conception by the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:26-28). This event is called the Annunciation, and is the first of the "Joyful Mysteries" of the Rosary. Collect: O God, who from among other Angels didst choose the Archangel Gabriel to announce the mystery of thy Incarnation: mercifully grant that we who celebrate his feast on earth may experiences his protection from heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. See more details - Said Mass
