Palm SUnday
Dear St.Agnes Families,As we come nearer to the Holy Week, anxiety is growing across the world in the face of the spread of the coronavirus. At St. Agnes and around the world, it seems that for the first time we will probably be spending Holy Week and the Easter celebration without our faithful. We continue with our life of prayer and work “separated from all but united in Spirit.”Following Jesus leads us to an experience of conversion, of turning away from darkness and towards the light of the Risen One. Day by day, let us not be diverted by fears, anger, regrets, confusion, and the darkness that often claims to cover the whole world and to monopolize our attention. But let us remain united, deep within our hearts, to the source of Peace that remains always beyond everything.As containment measures and health precautions are increased to prevent the spread of the virus, let us take great care of the treasure of human relations. Let us keep in touch – through telephone calls and messages of friendship – with those who are isolated, and first and foremost the oldest, the most fragile and those already affected by another illness or hardship.I thank you for your continued financial support of our church during this difficult time. We are deeply appreciative for those of you who are reaching out to keep up your regular contributions to our parish. Our Bishop Barbar has requested all the Pastors to be good stewards of the parish. If shelter in place order continues, we will need to take some difficult steps to balance our income and expenses. We ask for your prayers and continue to offer our prayers for those most in need.Even though we are not physically close to each other as a church community, we can still connect through Facebook and this Flocknote communication. We will bring you up to date news on St. Agnes Community. We are in this together! There are several parishioners who don't have computers or smart phones. I ask that you communicate with them these updated news from the Parish.“Jesus tells us: ‘I am the resurrection and the life... have faith'. Amid grief, continue to have faith, even when it seems that death has won. Let the Word of God restore life where there is death”. Pope FrancisI wish to assure you that I will remember all of you during the Holy Week celebrations. May you have a fruitful Holy Week!Fr.Johnson -

Message from Father Johnson 3-23-20
Dear Friends,
I invite all of us, St. Agnes Family, to set aside a moment at 7pm each evening, each from our own locations, to reach out in prayer and care to surround each other with God’s wisdom, healing power and peace. We remain bound together during this time, which is both challenging and a moment of God’s Grace, in our need for mutual support for each other in our lives and ministries … as well as for God’s care for the people of our community and the world.
You may want to simply spend some time in meditation, connecting with the rest of us spiritually. However, I’ve also included some texts below that we can use to join in prayer together.
Blessings,
Father Johnson
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
from where shall come my help?
My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth.
May he never allow you to stumble!
Let him sleep not, your guard.
No, he sleeps not nor slumbers,
Israel’s guard.
The Lord is your guard and your shade;
at your right side he stands.
By day the sun shall not smite you
nor the moon in the night.
The Lord will guard you from evil,
he will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your going and coming
both now and forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever. Amen.
PRAYER
O God, who renew the world
through mysteries beyond all telling,
grant, we pray,
that your Church may be guided by your eternal design
and not be deprived of your help in this present age.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

a Merry Christmas AT St. Agnes !!!
