Lord, protect us
Oh dear Lord Jesus, sickness is around and we feel fear; send your holy angels to protect and guard us in these days of pandemic. -
what about confession?!
Presently, priests in the Archdiocese of Chicago are not allowed to hear confessions (except in danger of death.) What to do?
We must keep in mind traditional church teaching: if a person has lost the State of Grace, they are to make a Perfect Act of Contrition with a desire to go to Confession when it is possible.
Imperfect contrition is sorrow for sin due to shame, or because of the consequences, or for fear of hell.
Perfect contrition is sorrow for sin out of love for God and a desire never to displease him.
So let us make perfect contritions with a desire for sacramental confession when it becomes available. This returns God's grace and should put us at peace! -

Holy Mass
Since we aren't able to go to Mass, it is not a sin to miss! But we still must keep the Lord's Day holy by praying, resting, and not doing unecessary physical labor.

THE PRIESTS BRING JESUS TO BLESS ALL OF OUR TOWN
On the Feast of the Annunciation,
the priests brought our Eucharistic Lord and Our Lady to bless all the streets and homes of Northlake, and everyone who calls St. John Vianney home, and all who desire this blessing. For 2 hours, we recited prayers against sickness, plagues, and seeking God's protection, as well as the Holy Rosary. May all our people be blessed and protected, in body and soul!

CAN'T GO TO MASS? Make a Spiritual Communion
When we are not able to get to Mass or receive the Lord in Holy Communion, we can still unite ourselves to him and receive great graces.
During work or play, stop to imagine that you are gazing on the Sacred Host, or kneeling before the tabernacle, or looking at the Host as Father raises it in the Mass - then make this prayer:Spiritual Communion
"I wish, my Lord, to receive You with the purity, humility and devotion, with which your Most Holy Mother received You, and with the spirit and the fervor of the Saints." -
