Father Charles always had a great devotion to St. Theresa and how happy he was to be in a parish named in her honor. When she was leaving this life she said "I will spend my heaven doing good on earth."  We have no doubt that Father Charles will spend his heaven doing good on earth for all of us.

We are saddened by the death of Monsignor Neil Graham, one of the most respected priests of our Archdiocese. Monsignor Graham assisted us here at Spanish Mass and was dearly loved by priests and parishioners. His Funeral Mass will be on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at St. John the Evangelist Church in White Plains, where he served as pastor for 17 years.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Friday - " My Lord, your Son has suffered so much, shed so much blood. I was born with so many faults and my nature is so full of weakness, and yet your Son Jesus has died on the cross. For me. I know your grace has the power to cleanse me of my many sins and to make me more like your Son. Thank you for your goodness and love for me. I ask you, Father, to watch over me - always."

Thursday - Loving Provider, you gather me in the upper room with your Son, to be fed by your love. At that supper, Jesus told us to "love one another" and I know that is the heart of His gift, His sacrifice for me. I ask that I might find the source of my own heart, the meaning for my own life, in that Eucharist. Guide me to the fullness of your love and life.

Wednesday - My Savior, do you invite me to share in the glory of the resurrection? Please stay with me as I struggle to see how accepting the crosses of my life will free me from the power of the one who wants only to destroy my love and trust in you. Help me to be humble and accepting like your Son, Jesus. I want to turn to you with the same trust he had in your love. Save me, Lord. Only you can save me.

Tuesday - " God of such unwavering love, how do I "celebrate" the passion and death of Jesus?" I often want to look the other way and do not watch, not stay with Jesus in his suffering. Give me the strength to see his love with honesty and compassion and to feel deeply your own forgiveness and mercy for me. Help me to understand how to "celebrate" this week. I want to be able to bring my weakness and imperfections with me as I journey with Jesus this week, so aware of His love."

Monday - "God of love, my prayer is simple: Your Son, Jesus, suffered and died for me. I know only that I cannot have real strength unless I rely on you. I cannot feel protected from my many weaknesses until I turn to you for forgiveness and your unalterable love. Help me to share this strength, protection and love with others."

Sunday - Loving God, I am just beginning to realize how much you love me. Your Son, Jesus was humble and obedient. He fulfilled your will for him by becoming human and suffering with us. I ask for the desire to become more humble so that my own life might also bear witness to you. I want to use the small sufferings I have in this world to give you glory. Please, Lord, guide my mind with your truth. Strengthen my life by example of Jesus. Help me to be with Jesus in this week as he demonstrates again his total love for me. He died so that I would no longer be separated from you. Help me to feel how close you are and to live in union with you.
