Not this one – When a woman who comes to Life Choices is considering abortion, the person talking with her sends a text requesting a prayer for that mom and baby. If you would like to support a mom in her moment of crisis, please consider joining the prayer text. It simply reads “not this one” when you receive it.

Christ Has No Body But Yours
Christ has no body but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world.
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good.
Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
–St. Teresa of Avila

Prayer During the Easter Season
Heavenly Father and God of mercy,
We no longer look for Jesus among the dead,
For he is alive and has become the Lord of life.
From the waters of death you raise us with him
And renew your gift of life within us.
Increase in our minds and hearts
The risen life we share with Christ
And help us to grow as your people
Toward the fullness of eternal life with you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
-The Liturgy of the Hours

                                                                                                                             Praying for Stability
A friend of mine has a funny saying. When even the slightest thing goes wrong- a lost email, a stubbed toe, a dropped fork at a restaurant- he will say, “My whole life is crashing down around me!” It’s his funny way of making light of common problems and reminding himself not to “sweat the small stuff.”

But what happens when it really does feel that your life is “crashing down around you?” In my experience, that feeling surfaces not simply when you are presented with bad news – a frightening medical diagnosis; a layoff at work; grievous academic, professional, or financial failure – but especially when those things happen all at once! And to that mix you might add political, economic, and social unrest as well. Taken together, it can feel like things are indeed “crashing down.”

Even in these times of instability, God is with you. Remember that Jesus himself lived in turbulent times. But how can we access the calm that we long for during unstable times? First, by being honest with your feelings and asking God to give you clarity about how to proceed. But occasionally, that can mire us more deeply in the instability, causing us to focus even more on the problems. In those situations, it may be time simply to take a break with God, to rest in God’s presence and let God give you the gift of calm. – James Martin, SJ

My Lord Jesus Christ,

In you, O Jesus, true peace,
May I have peace upon peace eternally.
Through you may I come to understanding,
There where, in gladness, I may see you in yourself.

Praying Our Alleluias
“We are Easter people and Alleluia is our song!” said St. John Paul II. Ironically, this famous quote was said during an Angelus message in November of 1986. Perhaps it’s not ironic, but rather wonderful, that St. JP II said this during the time of year furthest from Easter time: November. For we are always “Easter people,” whether we’re in the Easter season, Ordinary time, Advent, or even Lent. Even though we sometimes feel that we are literally re-enacting the Life of Christ throughout the year, we have to remember that no matter what time of year it is, Christ is risen!
That may be easier to accept than the idea that “Alleluia is our song.” Can it really be so, in a world torn by war, countries riven by poverty, churches still confronting sexual abuse, not to mention our own countless personal problems? How can we focus on the “Alleluia?”
One answer might be to remember that “Alleluia” is a form of “Hallelujah,” which comes from Hallelu (meaning praise) and Yah, referring to Yahweh. So, what can we praise God for? That’s where focusing on what we have, rather than what we don’t, comes into play. Even amid crisis and struggle, can we ask God to focus our hearts on what we have? It’s a difficult task, sometimes requiring an act of the will, but it’s essential. Think of Mary Magdalene on Easter Sunday morning. If she had remained in the tomb, focused on death, she would never have seen the Risen Lord. And she might never have said, “Alleluia!”            –James Martin, SJ

Ida B. Wells
Blessed Among Us
Champion of Justice (1862-1931)

Born into slavery in Mississippi, Ida B. Wells’s struggle against racial injustice began in 1884 when a train conductor tried to evict her from her first-class seat to make room for a white man. Her successful suit against the train company won her a national reputation, and she became editor of a Black newspaper in Memphis, The Free Speech and Headlight.
When, in 1892, three black men were lynched in Memphis, Wells was galvanized to action. In the years since Emancipation, lynching had become the ultimate form of white terrorism in the South. Though the pretext was often some alleged “outrage against (white) womanhood,” Wells conducted exhaustive research documenting the actual causes: failure to show proper deference to whites, registering to vote, “talking back,” complaining about work, or sheer bad luck. Whatever the reasons, it was a reminder that the underlying code of slavery lived on. Christian ministers, meanwhile, were generally oblivious to the parallels between this public violence and the death of Jesus on a cross.
Following her editorials, an outraged mob destroyed her press and would have lynched her, too, if she had been present. Settling in Chicago, she became a “journalist in exile,” tirelessly carrying on the fight against lynching, until her death on March 31, 1931. She did not live to see success (there were 28 recorded lynchings in 1931), but her courageous witness lit a torch that others carried across the generations. In 2022, Congress passed the Emmet Till Anti-Lynching Act.
“We submit all to the sober judgment of the Nation, confident that, in this cause, as well as all others, “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” –Ida B. Wells

O Cross
O Cross, more worthy than cedar,
On you the life of the world was nailed,
On you Christ has triumphed;
Death has destroyed death!
Glory to you, Jesus, Savior,
Your cross gives us life!
Behold the tree of life
Where the innocent man bears our sins
In order to reconcile earth and heaven:
Come, let us adore!
–Days of the Lord

For Holy Week
Born as a Son, led like a lamb,
Sacrificed like a sheep, buried as a man,
He rises from the dead as God,
Being by nature both God and man.
He is all things: when he judges, he is law,
When he teaches, Word, when he saves, grace,
When he begets, father, when his is begotten, son,
When he suffers, lamb, when he is buried, man,
When he rises, God, such is Jesus Christ!
To him be glory forever! Amen.

Great news about Protect Kids Colorado Initiatives: all three initiatives went well above the minimum (125k) signatures needed to secure their place on the 2026 November ballot. All three are now filed at the Secretary of State office for review and approval to the ballot.
***Over 170,000 signatures filed to Stop Human Trafficking #108
***Over 170,000 Signatures filed to Protect Girls Sports #109
***Over 164,000 to Prohibit Child Sex Change Surgery #110
This success is in large measure due to the effort from your help and parish leadership in facilitating signature collection of petitions. Our Catholic community make up at least 1/3 of all the signatures collected to protect children in Colorado!

St. Patrick’s Breastplate
I bind unto myself today the power of God
To hold and lead, his eye to watch,
His might to stay, his ear to harken to my need:
The wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide,
His shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.
Christ be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ deep within me, Christ below me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right hand, Christ at my left hand,
Christ as I lie down, Christ as I arise, Christ as I stand,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks to me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me. -The Glenstal Book of Prayer.

Meal Blessing During Lent
Lord Jesus Christ, may our Lenten fasting turn us toward all
Our brothers and sisters who are in need. Bless this table, our good food,
And ourselves. Send us through Lent with good cheer, and bring us to the
Fullness of your Passover, now and forever. Amen.

                                                                                                    Prayer for Choosing a State of Life
From all eternity, O Lord, you planned my very existence and my destiny. You wrapped me in your love in baptism and gave me the faith to lead me to an eternal life of happiness with you. You have showered me with your graces and you have been always ready with your mercy and forgiveness when I have fallen. Now I beg you for the light I so earnestly need that I may find the way of life in which lies the best fulfillment of your will. Whatever state this may be, give me the grace necessary to embrace it with love of your holy will, as devotedly as your Blessed Mother did your will. I offer myself to you now, trusting in your wisdom and love to direct me in working out my salvation and in helping others to know and come close to you, so that I may find my reward in union with you forever and ever. Amen.

                                                                                                                  Prayer for Renewal
Gracious God, we thank you for your presence with us throughout all time. Jesus, you Son, creates us anew and liberates us from all that keeps us from you. Your Holy Spirit re-created our world and restores justice. Heal us from sin and violence. Reconcile enemies. Awaken us to the sacred. Nurture our relationships; enliven our parishes; reunite our families. Fill us with joy to celebrate the fullness of life. Empower us to be a community of love growing always in your likeness by the grace of Christ of Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Insight
Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles.
Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing.
Let there be moments when your presence, like lightning,
illuminates the darkness in which we walk.
Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns, unconsumed.
And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness
and exclaim in wonder, “How filled with awe is this place
and we did not know it.”

Prayer for Hope
O my God, relying on your infinite goodness and promises,
I hope to obtain pardon of my sins,
the help of your grace and life everlasting,
through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and redeemer.

Prayer of Generosity
Lord God, I want to love you, not that I might gain eternal heaven, nor escape eternal hell, but simply to love you
just because you are my God.
Teach me to be generous. Grant me to give to you
and not to count the cost; to fight for you
and not to mind the wounds;
to toil and not to look for rest;
to labor and to ask for no reward,
except the knowledge that I serve my Lord.

Prayer to St. Raphael, Archangel

We beseech you to help us
In all our needs and trials of this life, as you,
Through the power of God,
Did restore sight and give guidance to young Tobit.
We humbly seek your aid and intercession,
That our souls may be healed,
Our bodies protected from all ills,
And that through divine grace we may be made fit
To dwell in the eternal glory of God in heaven. Amen.
-Traditional prayer for the intercession of St. Raphael.

Prayer Before a Crucifix

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before you
I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray and beseech
you to fix deep in my hear lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity,
true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment;
while I contemplate with great love and tender pity
your five wounds, pondering over them within me
and calling to mind the words which David, your prophet,
said of you, my Jesus; “They have pierced my hands and my feet;
they have numbered all my bones.”
