Dear Shrine Faithful,

The month of February is closing and March opens before us. Easter, believe it or not, is in

March this year so Passiontide and Holy Week are quickly approaching. In order to be ready and not

caught off guard be sure to join us for our annual Lenten Recollection this coming Saturday. There will

be Mass, Rosary, two full conferences, Confessions, and Adoration. Venite!

Please note that, as announced from the pulpit, in the month of March we are reciting daily

after each Mass the Prayer to St. Joseph written by St. Francis de Sales. We will do so until after

Easter. Glorious St Joseph, spouse of Mary, grant us thy paternal protection, we beseech

thee by the heart of Jesus Christ. O thou, whose power extends to all our necessities and

can render possible for us the most impossible things, open thy fatherly eyes to the

needs of thy children. In the trouble and distress which afflicts us, we confidently have

recourse to thee. Deign to take under thy charitable charge this important and difficult

matter, cause of our worries. Make its happy outcome be for God's glory and for the

good of His devoted servants. Amen.

Coming soon!!

I kneel myself before Thy holy image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, to offer Thee my most fervent

thanks for the blessings Thou hast bestowed upon me. I shall incessantly praise Thine ineffable mercy and

confess that Thou alone art my God, my helper and my protector. Henceforth my entire confidence shall

be placed in Thee! Everywhere I shall proclaim aloud Thy mercy and generosity, so that Thy great love

and great deeds which Thou dost perform through this miraculous image may be acknowledged by

all. May devotion to Thy holy infancy increase more and more in the hearts of all Christians, and may all

who experience Thine assistance persevere with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Thy most holy

infancy, to which be praise and glory forever. Amen.
