Thursday, October 1, 2026, 7:00 PMMission and Mercy
You are warmly invited to join us for a Holy Hour of Adoration, Benediction, and Evening Prayer (Vespers)—a sacred time to encounter Christ and renew our call to live with mercy and compassion in the world.
In the presence of the Eucharistic Lord, we come to rest in the mercy that flows from His heart. Jesus meets us not with judgment, but with love that heals, restores, and sends us forth. In this Holy Hour, we are invited to receive that mercy anew and to allow it to shape how we live as His disciples.
As missionary disciples, we are called not only to receive God’s mercy but to become instruments of it. Through prayer and reflection, we open our hearts to the ways Christ invites us to carry His compassion into our families, our parish, and our wider community—especially to those who feel forgotten, wounded, or searching for hope.
Rooted in hospitality, this gathering welcomes all to come as they are. Together, we create sacred space for silence, listening, and encounter—trusting that the Holy Spirit is at work within us, forming hearts that reflect the mercy of Christ.
During Evening Prayer (Vespers), we unite our voices with the prayer of the Church throughout the world, offering gratitude for the day and entrusting all people and concerns to God’s loving care. Through Benediction, Christ blesses and sends us forth, strengthened to live lives of mercy, compassion, and faithful service.
Come and rest in the Lord.
Come and receive His mercy.
Come and be sent on mission.All are welcome.
Reflection Questions for Prayer
You may wish to reflect quietly on one or two of these questions during the Holy Hour:
Where have I experienced God’s mercy in my life recently?
Who is Christ inviting me to see, love, or serve with greater compassion?
What fears or barriers prevent me from living mercy more fully?
How can I be a visible sign of God’s mercy in my daily life?
Where is Christ sending me to live the mission of love more boldly?
