St. Catherine of Siena
In applying St. Catherine’s lessons to our own lives we
are helped, as she was, by the virtues of faith, hope and
charity. Through faith, our pursuit of truth sees God as the
Ultimate Truth, the measure of what we know and of what
we are. Through charity, we are united with that Truth in a
personal, mutual bonding of wills, called friendship.
Through hope, we have, with clear confidence, the
expectation of maturing that friendship, begun in Baptism,
and enduring throughout eternity.
Other elements of the supernatural life of grace are seen
in her supreme commitment to justice, one of the four
moral virtues, especially in her practice of religion, her
mutual relationship with God. Among the seven gifts of the
Holy Spirit, wisdom, piety, and fortitude are featured
prominently in her own life and in her ministry to others.
In the midst of a hectic and often frustrating life, St.
Catherine found quiet and restoration in the “little cell” of
her internal resources by engaging in conversation with
God and with His “holy one” who had traveled the road
before her. It is for such moments in our lives that John
McClernon has gathered into this little treasury the words of
an excellent teacher and motivator, God’s enthusiastic
instrument of Truth, St. Catherine of Siena and, through
her, the inspiration of our God.

Don’t Forget Us

drop, but instead go up.
The Blessed Sacrament
THIS IS MY BODY – THIS IS MY BLOOD
Can You Watch One Hour With Me?
A Holy Hour is simply an hour set-aside totally for the Lord;
an hour consecrated to God. It is a time to recollect our
mind, heart and spirit in order to focus them on God and
more specifically our Eucharistic Lord. To make a Holy
Hour is to make a decision to spend one hour with our
friend, our Savior and Lord who is truly present in the
Blessed Sacrament of the altar.
Eucharistic Adoration and Holy Hour
The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic
worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let
us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in
adoration and in contemplation, that is full of faith, and
ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of
the world. May our adoration never cease.
– John Paul II, 1960
To sign up for adoration or for information regarding
adoration please contact Diane Cieslak 703.678.3919.
24 hour Eucharistic Adoration begins after the 9:00 a.m.
Mass on Wednesday and ends with reposition of the
Blessed Sacrament at 8:55 a.m. on Thursday.
24 hour Eucharistic Adoration also begins after the 9:00
a.m. Mass on every First Friday of the month and ends with
reposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 8:55 a.m. on
Saturday.
Holy Hour is every Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m.

Heavenly Father, bless our diocese with the grace of

Through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, grant to
those You have called the willingness and generosity of
spirit to give of themselves in devoting their lives and their
talents to the service of our Lord and to His Church.
Increase the faith of all within our diocese, and particularly
the faith of those You have called and will continue to call.
We ask this through Christ, Your Son. Amen.
