[Siobhan]

Such a stirring and moving prayer:

"Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in Holy Eucharist, I consecrate my body and soul to be entirely one with Your Heart, being sacrificed at every instant on all the altars of the world and giving praise to the Father pleading for the coming of His Kingdom."

"Please receive this humble offering of myself. Use me as You will for the glory of the Father and the salvation of souls."

"Most holy Mother of God, never let me be separated from Your Divine Son. Please defend and protect me as Your Special Child. Amen."

Amen. Amen. Amen.

It truly is a wonderful prayer.It's referred to on our prayer card in my parish as the Eucharistic Prayer of Akita.

Just wanted to tell you that we had the privelege of seeing the REAL Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima on Monday evening. Mr. Redhead was in the 4th Degree Honor Guard (90+ degrees! 12 good, faithful knights!). It was in a beautiful little rural church, packed to the rafters with those who love Our Lady of Fatima.

I cannot even begin to tell you of the inexpressible BEAUTY of that wonderful face. It was such an honor and blessing to be so close to such a legendary work of art in honor of our Blessed Mother. If you ever hear of the statue coming to a church in your area, do not miss the opportunity to gaze on that GORGEOUS countenance. Sigh...It was wonderful!
