Feast of St. Malachy, 11/07/2021

by

St. Malachy Statue

St. Malachy was Archbishop of Armagh of Ireland. He was born in 1094, was ordained a priest at the age of 25 and died in 1148. St. Charles Borromeo set him as a model before his priests, pointing out how “he zealously sought out the needy in the remotest villages and cottages of his diocese and administered the sacraments to all alike renewing the fervor of the people receiving them.”  St. Malachy especially sought to instill the use of the sacraments, especially confession and matrimony while spreading the Gospel message to the people of his homeland. His most famous possessions were the “Book of Armagh” and a crozier called the “Staff of Jesus” both reported to have belonged to St. Patrick. St. Malachy was the first Irish saint canonized by a Pope.

His feast day is celebrated on November 3rd. Let us pray that our intercessions through St. Malachy may enable us to grow in the grace of God as our parish grows in the family of God. —Written by Andre Prevost http://andreprevost.homestead.com/IconsByAndrePrevost.html

 

Synodal Initiative Underway: Message from Fr. Gurnick

Synodal Initiative Underway: Message from Fr. Gurnick

The Diocese of Cleveland is sending out detailed materials to all parishes by next week as we prepare for the Synod on Synodality. To ensure fruitfulness on the parish level, in accord with the vision of our diocesan leaders, I’ve asked Stephanie Pritts to facilitate the process at Saint Malachi and Saint Patrick parishes.  She will be assisted by Christy Bartley who serves as Coordinator of Communications at Saint Patrick.  Both Stephanie and Christy are working with Thriving Congregations, another initiative involving a process of listening and discovery for both parishes.  Once we receive and review the diocesan materials, Stephanie will be communicating with parishioners about the next concrete steps.  Let us continue to pray for the success of this endeavor and for the needs of the Universal Church.

 

A Prayer for Veterans Day, 11/11/2021

by

God of mercy we ask for blessings on all those who have served their country in the armed forces. We ask for healing for the veterans who have been wounded, in body and soul, in conflicts around the globe. We pray especially for the young men and women, in the thousands, who are coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan with injured bodies and traumatized spirits. Bring solace to them, O Lord. May we pray for them when they cannot pray. Have mercy on all our veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Bring peace to their hearts and peace to the regions they fought in. Bless all the soldiers who served in noncombative posts. May their calling to serve continue in their lives in many positive ways. Give us all here present today creative vision to see a world that, growing weary with fighting, moves to affirming the life of every human being and so moves beyond war. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Jesus, I trust in You!
