Are you familiar with the Liturgy of the Hours? The Church provides daily prayers which mark the hours of each day and sanctify the day with prayer. Also known as the Divine Office, these hours include the Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Daytime Prayer, Evening Prayer and Night Prayer. Over a cycle of 4 weeks, we pray a majority of the 150 psalms and numerous other passages from Sacred Scripture which can be meditated and reflected upon throughout the day.

As a priest, I make a promise to pray these hours throughout the day for the good of the whole Church, the Body of Christ. However, the Liturgy of the Hours can be prayed by anyone. In fact, it is highly recommended as a source of spiritual nourishment for all of the Baptized. The prayer of Simeon that we heard in today’s Gospel is incorporated into the Night Prayer and is recited every night.

It begins with a beautiful antiphon: Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace. Then we say the Canticle of Simeon: “Lord, now you let your servant go in peace; your word has been fulfilled: my own eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared in the sight of every people: a light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.” This a beautiful way to end your day and enter the night of rest.

I have discovered the Liturgy of the Hours to be an indispensable tool to immerse myself in the Sacred Scriptures. I would love the opportunity to teach and share the spiritual riches of the Liturgy of the Hours. Would you be interested in learning more? If so, please let me know. I would love to organize an opportunity during Lent.

Have a wonderful week!

Fr. Keith

Parish Prayer for the month of February

Grant unto us, Lord Jesus, ever to follow the example of Thy holy Family,

that in the hour of our death Thy glorious Virgin Mother together with

blessed Joseph may come to meet us and we may be worthily received by Thee into everlasting dwellings: who

livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph most kind, Bless us now and in death's agony.

Notas del Pastor ¿Conoces la liturgia de las horas? La Iglesia ofrece oraciones diarias que marcan las horas de cada día y santifican el día con oración. También conocida como la Oficina Divina, estas horas incluyen la Oficina de Lecturas, Oración de la mañana, Oración diurna, Oración vespertina y Oración nocturna. Durante un ciclo de 4 semanas, rezamos por la mayoría de los 150 salmos y numerosos otros pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura que pueden meditarse y reflejarse durante todo el día. Como sacerdote, prometo rezar estas horas durante todo el día por el bien de toda la Iglesia, el Cuerpo de Cristo. Sin embargo, la Liturgia de las Horas puede ser rezada por cualquiera. De hecho, es muy recomendable como fuente de alimento espiritual para todos los bautizados. La oración de Simeón que escuchamos en el Evangelio de hoy se incorpora a la Oración Nocturna y se recita todas las noches. Comienza con una hermosa antífona: protégenos, Señor, mientras nos mantenemos despiertos; cuídanos mientras dormimos, que despiertos, podamos vigilar con Cristo, y dormidos, descansar en su paz. Luego decimos el Cántico de Simeón: “Señor, ahora dejas ir a tu siervo en paz; tu palabra se ha cumplido: mis propios ojos han visto la salvación que has preparado a la vista de cada pueblo: una luz para revelarte a las naciones y la gloria de tu pueblo Israel ". Esta es una hermosa manera de terminar tu día y entra en la noche de descanso. He descubierto que la Liturgia de las Horas es una herramienta indispensable para sumergirme en las Sagradas Escrituras. Me encantaría la oportunidad de enseñar y compartir las riquezas espirituales de la Liturgia de las Horas. ¿Te interesaría aprender más? Si es así, por favor hágamelo saber. Me encantaría organizar una oportunidad durante la Cuaresma. ¡Ten una maravillosa semana! P. Keith

Donation of Altar Flowers Flowers beautify the sacred space of our church and are a

gift to God and those who attend our Masses. Many people have special days in the year which they

commemorate. Flowers on the altar of Our Lady of Mercy Church can fittingly mark anniversaries, the birth of a child, marriage, baptism or death, or may be used as an expression

of joy of thanksgiving at any time. We are trying something new for our parish. We will begin

with a flower donation once a month. When flowers are given in thanksgiving or as a memorial, an announcement

will be made at all weekend masses noting the memorial or occasion for the flowers. Currently, the suggested donation

for Altar Flowers is $40.

If you would like to donate flowers, please contact the parish office today 610-252-7381 to reserve your date.

Donación de Flores Para el Altar Las flores embellecen el espacio sagrado de nuestra iglesia

conmemoran. Las flores en el altar de la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Merced son adecuadas para los aniversarios, el nacimiento de un niño(a), el matrimonio, el bautismo o la muerte, o pueden ser la expresión de alegría de acción de

gracias en cualquier momento. Estamos intentando algo nuevo para nuestra parroquia.

Comenzaremos con una donación de flores una vez al mes. Cuando las flores se entreguen en acción de gracias o como un memorial, se hará un anuncio en todas las misas de fin

de semana, señalando el memorial u ocasión para las flores. Actualmente, la donación sugerida para las flores es de

$ 40. Si desea donar flores, comuníquese hoy con la oficina

Due to the increased cases of influenza in our area, the Bishop has suspended the Exchange of Peace and the Reception of Holy Communion from the Chalice in all Churches of the Diocese of Allentown until further notice. It is hoped that this will

reduce the spread of these viruses. In other words, during the mass, this introduction will be omitted, “Let us offer one another a sign of Christ’s peace.” We will move directly to sing the Lamb of God. We will only distribute Holy Communion under the Sacred Host. As a reminder, the Sacred Host contains the “whole Christ” -Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.

Thank you for your adjustment at this time.

The Parish Nurses will be doing Blood Pressure Screenings Sat. Feb.1st 4-4:30pm and Sun.Feb.2nd 7:30-8am.

In response to the serious earthquake in Puerto Rico, Bishop Schlert has asked each parish in the Diocese of Allentown to take up a collection. The funds contributed will be forwarded to Catholic Relief Services, & these will be administered by them. Our Lady of Mercy will have the Puerto Rico Relief Collection February 15th. & 16th.

En respuesta al serio terremoto en Puerto Rico, el Obispo Schlert ha pedido a cada parroquia de la Diócesis de Allentown hacer una colecta. Los fondos aportados se enviarán a Catholic

Relief Services, y estos serán administrados por ellos. Nuestra Señora de la Merced llevara

acábo esta colecta el fin de semana de febrero 15 y 16.
