Sacraments
The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. (CCC 1113)
While we believe that human life is infused with the sacramental goodness of God, the Catholic Church has defined seven sacraments - instituted by and through the life of Jesus Christ.
It is through the experience of the sacramental ritual that we are infused with God’s grace.
The Sacraments nourish and strengthen us as they express and build up our faith.
The full schedule of Eucharistic Celebrations can be found on the home and calendar pages at OLMC's parish updated website.
If you are unable to join us in person at our church in Mattapan, we encourage you to join spiritually with An Act of Spiritual Communion.
Act of Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
May God's Grace, Love, Abundance, and Forgiveness be yours on Ash Wednesday, throughout Lent and the Easter Season, and always!
