BAPTISM CELEBRATED TODAY AT SAINT IGNATIUS PARISH IN NDG, MONTREAL QC CANADA
“Mary, Mother of Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit; look favorably on Coralie Benedetta Maria Fourmigué and her parents Alain Fourmigué & Chiara Giacosa and her godparents Gabriele Giacosa & Katia Khoukaz. In Jesus’ Name I now entrust them all to your care, as Jesus entrusted his beloved John to your care from the cross. Help each person grow in love for God, inspire each couple to pray together and grow in their willingness to put their trust in the Father; as you yourself did. Every day, bring us to Jesus. He alone is Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Dear Friends, your children will find great peace, love, and consolation in coming to know Mary as their Mother in Jesus. They are too little to pray now, so let us pray for them the words of greeting first said by the Angel Gabriel and by Mary’s cousin Elizabeth.
“Hail Mary,
full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen!”
Let
us call on St. Joseph, Husband of Mary, Protector of Jesus, and Patron of the Church in Canada and of the universal Church.
PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH FOR OUR LIFE & VOCATION
To you, O Blessed Joseph, we go in our difficulties, and while asking for the help of your most holy Spouse, our Blessed Lady, we confidently invoke your patronage also. With the same love which united you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by the fatherly affection which you showed to the Child Jesus, we humbly ask you to remember that you are united to us by the glorious new life which Jesus shares with us through His Death and Resurrection and to help us in our need by your powerful intercession.
O most provident guardian of the Holy Family, protect us, the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ; help us keep ourselves from falling into error and ways which are contrary to love for Jesus; united to us as you are in the communion of saints, assist us, O most powerful protector, in our struggle with the powers of darkness, and as once you rescued the Child Jesus from an attack against His life, so now defend the Mystical Body of Christ from those who try to divide and destroy Christ in His Holy People.
Shield each one of us with your unceasing patronage, that by imitating your example, and supported by your aid, we may be enabled to live a good life, die a holy death, and come to everlasting happiness in the presence of God. Amen.
“Saint Joseph, PRAY FOR US.”

Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Your altar. We are Yours, and Yours we wish to be; but, to be more surely united with You, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself / herself today to Your most Sacred Heart.
Many indeed have never known You; many too, despising Your precepts, have rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Your Sacred Heart. Be You King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken You, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned You; grant that they may quickly return to Your Father's house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.
Be You King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbour of truth and unity of faith, so that there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.
Be You King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry, of violence in the name of Islam, or of fanatical distortions of religion, and refuse not to draw them into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Your eyes of mercy towards the children of the race, from long ago Your chosen people: of old some of them called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior; may it now descend upon all their descendants a laver of redemption and of life.
Grant, O Lord, to Your Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: "Praise be to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honour for ever." Amen.
The Prayer
of Consecration to the Sacred Heart is
a Roman
Catholic prayer
composed by Pope Leo XIII.
It was included in the 1899 encyclical Annum sacrum issued
by Leo XIII as he consecrated the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The consecration was influenced by
two letters written to the pope by Sister Mary of the Divine Heart Droste zu Vischering who
stated that in visions of Jesus Christ she
had been told to request the consecration. [1][2][3]

MAGNIFICAT
Teams of Our Lady
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit exalts in God my Savior; because he has looked upon his lowly handmaid.
Yes, from this day forward all generations will call me blessed, for the almighty has done great things for me.
Holy is His name, and His mercy reaches from age to age for those who fear Him.
He has shown the power of His arm.
He has routed the proud of heart.
He has pulled down princes from their thrones and exalted the lowly. The hungry He has filled with good things, the rich sent empty away.
He has come to the help of Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy – according to the promise He made to our ancestors – of His mercy to Abraham and to his descendants forever.
Our Lady, Queen
of Teams, pray for us.
POPE FRANCIS
Prayer
to the Immaculate*
Virgin most holy and
immaculate,
to you, the honour of our people,
and the loving protector of our city,
do we turn with loving trust.
You are
all-beautiful, O Mary!
In you there is no sin.
Awaken in all of us a
renewed desire for holiness:
May the splendour of truth shine forth in our words,
the song of charity resound in our works,
purity and chastity abide in our hearts and bodies,
and the full beauty of the Gospel be evident in our lives.
You are all-beautiful,
O Mary!
In you the Word of God became flesh.
Help us always to
heed the Lord’s voice:
May we never be indifferent to the cry of the poor,
or untouched by the sufferings of the sick and those in need;
may we be sensitive to the loneliness of the elderly and the vulnerability of
children,
and always love and cherish the life of every human being.
You are
all-beautiful, O Mary!
In you is the fullness of joy born of life with God.
Help us never to
forget the meaning of our earthly journey:
May the kindly light of faith illumine our days,
the comforting power of hope direct our steps,
the contagious warmth of love stir our hearts;
and may our gaze be fixed on God, in whom true joy is found.
You are
all-beautiful, O Mary!
Hear our prayer, graciously hear our plea:
May the beauty of God’s merciful love in Jesus abide in our hearts,
and may this divine beauty save us, our city and the entire world.
Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH TO OBTAIN A SPECIAL FAVOUR
O Blessed Saint Joseph, tender-hearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I pray to you to join with me in praising God the Father through His divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the holy Name of Jesus, pray with us that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favour we ask for…
We have been unfaithful to the unfailing love of God the Father; beg of Jesus mercy for us his brothers. Amid the splendours of God’s loving presence, do not forget the sorrows of those who suffer, those who pray, those who weep. By your prayers and those of your most holy Spouse, our Blessed Lady, may the love of Jesus answer our call of confident hope. Amen.
“Saint Joseph, PRAY FOR US.”

Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God Henri Caffarel
God, our Father,
You planted deep in the heart of your servant, Henri Caffarel, a fountain of
love which bound him totally to your Son and inspired him with a wonderful
capacity to speak of Him.
A
prophet for our time,
he revealed the dignity and beauty of the vocation of every person in the words
Jesus addresses to each of us: “Come follow me”.
He made couples enthusiastic about the greatness of
the sacrament of marriage,
the sign of Christ’s fruitful love for the Church and of His union with her.
He
showed that priests and couples
are called to live a vocation of love.
He
was a guide to widows: love is stronger than death.
Prompted by the Holy Spirit,
he accompanied many Christians on the path of prayer.
Seized by a devouring fire, he was a dwelling place for you, Lord.
God,
our Father,
through the intercession of Our Lady,
we ask you to hasten the day
when the Church will proclaim the holiness of his life,
so that people everywhere will discover the joy of following your Son
in accordance with their particular vocations in the Holy Spirit.
God our Father, we invoke the intercession of
Father Caffarel for………
(indicate the particular favor being sought)
Prayer approved by Monsignor Andre Vingt-Trois – Archbishop of
Paris.
“Nihil obstat”: 4th January 2006 – “Imprimatur”: 5th January
2006
