O Lord, grant prosperity!

JESUS, OUR REFUGE,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

Words from the Prophet Isaiah come through loud and clear: "Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock" (Is 26:4). May we build our house on the firm foundation of the eternal Rock, Jesus Christ our Lord, and be grounded in our faith. Listen and act: What I say to you in the darkness speak in the light, says the Lord, what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops (Communion Antiphon, Mass). 

SAINT FRANCIS XAVIER,
PRAY FOR US.
