St. Jude's Hospital: An Appalling Scandal!
Many of us have probably already heard of the amazing news of Maria Lanakila Catholic Church in Lahaina that was miraculously preserved from the raging fires in Maui. However, did ya'll know that it is also the ONLY Catholic Church that offers the traditional Latin Mass on the island!?
According to their website the Church offers the Latin Mass at 1 pm every 2nd, 3rd & 4th Sunday of the Month.
Thank God for this miracle and may it bring more and more to recognize the beauty and treasure that is the Latin Mass. Let us also continue to pray for those affected by the fires in Maui and pray especially for the souls of those lost...
O God, Whose property is ever to have mercy and to spare, we beseech Thee on behalf of the souls of Thy servants whom Thou hast called out of this world ; look upon them with pity and let them be conducted by the holy angels to paradise, their true country. Grant that they who believed in Thee and hoped in Thee may not be left to suffer the pains of the purgatorial fire, but may be admitted to eternal joys. Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth world without end. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary.
V. Eternal rest give unto him, 0 Lord;
R. And let perpetual light shine upon him.
V. May he rest in peace.
R. Amen.
