Indulgences
Those who make the Stations of the Cross will receive a Plenary Indulgence under the usual conditions.
A plenary indulgence is granted on each Friday of Lent and Passiontide to the faithful who, after Communion, piously recite the above prayer before an image of Christ crucified; on other days of the year the indulgence is partial.” — Enchiridion of Indulgences, No. 22
Prayer:
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul I pray and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment; while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy five wounds, pondering over them within me, having in mind the words which David Thy prophet said of Thee, my Jesus: “They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have numbered all my bones.”
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be for the Holy Father’s intentions.
Mass for your intentions
A Mass in the Syro-Malabar Rite will be offered for all the parishioners of MHM for a safe and grace-filled Lent.
