First Friday

Start the month dedicated to St. Joseph with prayers for his intercession to protect your and all our Nation's families. Rekindle your fervor while joining with Cardinal Burke to pray this day, remembering that Sister Lucia dos Santos, the oldest of the seers at Fatima, foretold that "the final confrontation between Our Lord and Satan will be over Family and Marriage!"

3rd Day, St. Matthew: Chapter 7:1-14
Do not judge: Do not judge, and you will not be judged; because the judgements you give are the judgements you will get, and the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given. Why do you observe the splinter in your brother's eye and never notice the plank in your own? How dare you say to your brother, "Let me take the splinter out of your eye", when all the time there is a plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
Do not profane sacred things: Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.

Mar 10 Sat 9-11am Prayer Vigil protest on Pleasant St. across from Planned Parenthood, Worcester
40 Days for Life Spring campaign is ‘self-serve’ in Worcester, so please consider stopping by to pray. 13 babies saw life through your efforts in Worcester last 40 Days; these are babies we know for sure were saved because of your witness. We may never know how many other babies were saved by women who never went in to Planned Parenthood or how many people you inspired by your prayerful presence on Pleasant St. over the years. Please also consider helping in the organization of the Fall campaign, contact Pauline.

Mar 31 Sat – Blue moon, complement to the rare "Super, Blue, Blood Moon" of Wed. Jan. 31st: "Super" because the moon is near to the earth. "Blue" because it is the second in a month. "Blood" because it will also be a lunar eclipse.

Holy Saturday, Mar. 31st, known as the Harrowing of Hell. Harrowing is the Old English and Middle English term for the triumphant descent of Christ into hell (or Hades) between the time of His Crucifixion and His Resurrection [Holy Saturday], when, according to Christian belief, He brought salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of the world. May Christ harrow our Nation on that day.

“We have time and again stressed the absolute character of divinely revealed truth. But it cannot be said too often that neither in the religious life of the individual nor in the doctrine of the Church is there any place for radical change... To speak of change or progress in the Church can mean the growth of the Kingdom of God in the souls of men, the growth in holiness of all members of the Mystical Body of Christ. It can mean the growth in explicitness of formulation of the divine revelation entrusted to the Church. But it can never mean any change in the sense of the substitution of a new content of belief or a new dogma for an old one.” from Trojan Horse in the City of God: The Catholic Crisis Explained: Dietrich Von Hildebrand, John Cardinal O'Connor
