    salvation Archives – EpicPew

    “The Bible Timeline® study program takes you on a guided journey through salvation history. Presenter Jeff Cavins will show you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and will give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture.

    In this revolutionary approach to Bible study, The Bible Timeline divides the Bible into twelve color-coded time periods that make the narrative thread easier to follow. Using a unique color-coded chart, you will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and discover how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our Faith.

    The Bible Timeline will teach you how to read and understand the entire Bible and introduce you to the wonderful narrative of Scripture in a way that will transform your life.”

    Michele Kenaga will be facilitating a 24 session Bible Study class beginning in September 2021 and concluding at Easter in April 2022 (with a break from Thanksgiving to the New Year). It is the Great Adventure Bible Timeline study program through Ascension Press. From their website.

    The Great Adventure Timeline study group has begun.
    There are two groups—one meets on Thursdays
    at 1:00 PM.
    The other meets on Sundays     at 5:00 PM. All sessions are held in the Parish Hall.

    Plenary Indulgence Options for the Year of St. Joseph - The Fathers of Mercy

    *New additions by Pope Francis to "increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal"

    April 30, 2021

    The Catholic schools of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee are currently participating in a St. Joseph Devotional Project. 

    As Pope Francis has proclaimed, 2021 is the "Year of St. Joseph." In celebration, our schools are focusing on teachings about the head of the Holy Family.  

    On April 30, 2021, Bishop Wack consecrated our Catholic schools to St. Joseph as part of the project. View the Mass here. 

    Our educational system is devoted to developing the devotional lives of children and adults, creating educational opportunities for students and cultivating Catholic Immersion Culture. This is achieved through prayer activities regarding the life of St. Joseph, engagement with Bishop Wack in the consecration of our schools and the promotion of familial consecration to St. Joseph.

    Divine Mercy Sunday - St Joseph Parish

    In the 1930's St. Maria Faustina Kowalska had a series of revelations, where our Lord called for a special feast day, Divine Mercy Sunday, which was named by Pope Saint John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000.   The feast day is celebrated the Sunday after Easter.

    Patron of contagious illnesses

    O Blessed Saint Roch,
    Patron of the sick,
    Have pity on those
    Who lie upon a bed of suffering.

    Your power was so great
    When you were in this world,
    That by the sign of the Cross,
    Many were healed of their diseases.

    Now that you are in heaven,
    Your power is not less.
    Offer, then, to God
    Our sighs and tears
    And obtain for us that health we seek
    Through Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

    (Repeat the following 3 times)

    Saint Roch, pray for us,
    That we may be preserved
    From all diseases of body and soul.

  • WHAT IS SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

    How to make a Spiritual Communion when Mass is banned because of ...

    Spiritual Communion is the practice of desiring union with Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. It is used primarily by individuals who cannot receive holy Communion, such as the ill, the divorced and remarried, and those who have not yet been received into full communion with the Church. St. Thomas Aquinas described it as “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the most holy sacrament and lovingly embrace him” at a time or in circumstances when we cannot receive him in sacramental 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.
