ANIMA CHRISTI (Prayer after Communion)

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from

the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within

Thy wounds hide me. Separated from Thee let me never be. From the malignant enemy, defend

me. At the hour of death, call me. And close to Thee bid me. That with Thy saints I may be

Praising Thee, forever and ever. Amen.

COVID-19: A Prayer of Solidarity (USCCB)

For all who have contracted coronavirus,

We pray for care and healing.

For those who are particularly vulnerable,

We pray for safety and protection.

For all who experience fear or anxiety,

We pray for peace of mind and spirit.

For affected families who are facing difficult decisions between food on the table or public safety,

We pray for policies that recognize their plight.

For those who do not have adequate health insurance,

We pray that no family will face financial burdens alone.

For those who are afraid to access care due to immigration status,

We pray for recognition of the God-given dignity of all.

For our brothers and sisters around the world,

We pray for shared solidarity.

For public officials and decisionmakers,

We pray for wisdom and guidance.

Father, during this time may your Church be a sign of hope, comfort and love to all.

Grant peace.

Grant comfort.

Grant healing.

Be with us, Lord.

Saint of the Week: St. Maria Goretti

Feast Day: July 6

One of the largest crowds ever as-

sembled for a canonization—

250,000—symbolized the reaction

of millions touched by the simple

story of Maria Goretti. She was the

daughter of a poor Italian tenant

farmer, had no chance to go to

school, never learned to read or

write. When Maria made her First

Communion not long before her death at age 12, she

was one of the larger and somewhat backward members

of the class. On a hot afternoon in July, Maria was sitting

at the top of the stairs of her house, mending a shirt.

She was not quite 12 years old, but physically mature. A

cart stopped outside, and a neighbor, 18-year-old Ales-

sandro, ran up the stairs. He seized her and pulled her

into a bedroom. She struggled and tried to call for help.

“No, God does not wish it,” she cried out. “It is a sin.

You would go to hell for it.” Alessandro began striking

at her blindly with a long dagger. Maria was taken to a

hospital and died 24 hours after the attack. Alessandro

was sentenced to 30 years in prison. For a long time he

was unrepentant and surly. One night he had a dream or

vision of Maria gathering flowers and offering them to

him. His life changed. When he was released after 27

years, his first act was to beg the forgiveness of Maria’s

mother. Devotion to the young martyr grew, miracles

were worked, and in less than half a century she was

canonized. At her beatification in 1947, her 82-year-old

mother, two sisters, and her brother appeared with Pope

Pius XII on the balcony of St. Peter’s. Three years later,

at Maria’s canonization, a 66-year-old Alessandro Se-

renelli knelt among the quarter-million people and cried

tears of joy. (from franciscanmedia.org)
