Let us give thanks continually to Christ, our teacher and our head, who came to serve and to do good to all. In humility and confidence let us ask him:
Come, Lord, to visit your family.
Lord, be present to the bishops and priests of your Church, who share your role as head and shepherd,
— may they lead your people to the Father under your guidance.
Come, Lord, to visit your family.
May your angel be with all who travel,
— to keep them safe in soul and body.
Come, Lord, to visit your family.
Teach us to serve the needs of others,
— and to be like you, who came to serve, not to be served.
Come, Lord, to visit your family.
Grant that in the human family, brother may always help brother,
— so that, with your assistance, it may be a city compact and strong.
Come, Lord, to visit your family.
Have mercy on all the departed,
— bring them to the vision of your glory.
Come, Lord, to visit your family.

Dear St. Patrick, our neighbor is putting up his house for sale. We wish whoever buys it would be a nice neighbor. And if no one buys it, and it is your will that I should buy the neighbor’s house. We intend to buy the house and put it up for rent. At least 30 percent of profit from this rental property we would like to donate to St.Patrick Church of Norcross permanently as long as we are still living. Since our beloved Mom passed away at 1pm on St. Patrick day. we would like to make this a lifetime donation in memory of our beloved Mom. Of course we wish a nice person would buy this house to be our neighbor. The house has been on the market for several months now. If we can buy it, then at least 30 percent of rental income would be donate to St. Patrick Church of Norcross. This is a lifetime donation pledge if we can buy the property.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen March 14, 2021
