Liturgy of the Hours 

      The Church’s official prayer, and the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. It hearkens back to the Jewish custom of praying at fixed hours, a practice continued by the early Church.
The practice developed significantly in the third and fourth centuries formalizing with Saint Benedict’s Rule in the sixth century. The current name and format were established after the Second Vatican Council in 1971, though the fundamental practice of sanctifying the day with set prayers has roots in the New Testament itself.

The Dynamic Catholic Prayer

Loving Father,

I invite you into my Life today,
And make myself available to you.
Help me to become the best version of myself,
By seeking Your will
and by being a living example of your love in the world.
Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change,
so, I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life
and experience the joy you desire for me.
inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging.
Show me how to best get involved in the life of my parish.
Give our community a hunger for best practices and continuous learning.
Glve me courage when I am afraid,
hope when I am discouraged, and clarity in times of decision.
Lead your church to become all you imagined it would be
for the people of our times.

Amen

Saint of the Week 
November 30, 2025

        Saint Andrew Feast Day November 30
                   Birth: Early 1st Century
             Death: Mid-to late 1st Century
      Patron Saint: of Fishermen, singers, Scotland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Patras Birth: Early 1st Century Death: Mid-to late 1st Century

      Saint Andrew was a fisherman in Galilee, along with his brother, Peter, when they were called by Jesus to leave their boat and become fishers of men. John’s Gospel also places him as a follower of John the Baptist before he came to be one of Jesus’ twelve Disciples. Beyond the scant references in the Gospels, not much is known of Saint Andrew’s life.

       According to Christian tradition Saint Andrew, like many of his fellow Disciples, went out into Greece and Turkey to preach the Good News. A 4th century account of the saint’s life tells of his martyrdom by crucifixion in Patras. Medieval accounts describe the cross used as X-shaped because Andrew said he was not worthy to die on the same style of cross as Jesus.

     Famously, Saint Andrew is the patron Saint of Scotland, the country’s flag bearing the X-shaped cross associated with him. Legends claim that the saint either traveled to Scotland to spread the Gospel or that his relics were brought there by St. Regulus who had a vision telling him to take the bones to the end of the earth. Regulus set out and was shipwrecked on the coast of Scotland. Today relics of St. Andrew which had been held by the Vatican are now at a shrine in Patras.

 

Saint of the Week

St. Charles Borromeo
Feast Day November 4

St. Charles Borromeo (1538- 1584) is most known for living during the time of the Protestant Reformation and helped influence reform of the whole Church during the final years of the Council of Trent.

Although St. Charles Borromeo belonged to nobility, he greatly desired to serve the Church. In 1559, his uncle was elected Pope Pius IV. He made Charles cardinal-deacon and administrator of the Archdiocese of Milan. At the time, Charles was a simple student, but because of his intellectual qualities, he was assigned several important offices connected with the Vatican. After the death of his brother, he decided to become a priest and was ordained at age 25. Soon after he became bishop of Milan.

Quietly working behind the scenes, St. Charles Borromeo is credited with keeping the Council of Trent in session and encouraging the pope to renew the Council in 1562, after its 10-year suspension. Afterwards, he devoted his time to serving in the Archdiocese of Milan.

Among his most important actions during his life, St. Charles Borromeo established seminaries, colleges, and communities for the education of candidates for holy orders. His emphasis on Catholic learning greatly increased the preparation of men for the priesthood and benefited their congregations. He died at the age of 46.
