7:30 p.m.  – Opening Song: Jesus Is Changing Me – Handout (Pete/guitar)            

7: 35 p.m. - Opening Prayer: MAGNIFICAT

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His Name; And His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him. He has shown might with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy - Even as He spoke to our father - to Abraham and to his posterity forever.

8:40   Closing Final prayer

Petitions, followed by Memorare.  Kiss of Peace.  Snacks and Fellowship.

MEMORARE: Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to Your protection, implored Your help, or sought Your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To You we come; before You we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in Your mercy, hear and answer us.

As we anticipate another summer period and the Easter season comes to an end let us take time to thank God for all our blessings and remember those less fortunate. Thanks for this Catholic community of Calvert that helps us focus on the things that are important in this life; let us pray to the Lord. Lord hear our prayer - Petitions followed by Our Father.
