MASS
We prayed for the people of
Saint SHARBEL MAKHLUF
Born in 1828, Sharbel Makhluf was a monk and priest
of the Lebanese Maronite Order in
who spent many hours praying
before the Blessed Sacrament.
He later lived as a hermit of his order.
He celebrated Mass close to noon
so as to devote the morning to preparation,
and the rest or the day to thanksgiving.
He died in 1898.
Entrance Antiphon
Spirit of God is upon me; he has anointed me. He sent me to bring good news to the poor and to heal the broken hearted. (Lk 4: 18)
Opening Prayer
God our Father,
in Saint Sharbel Makhluf, you gave
a light to your faithful people.
You made him a pastor of the Church
to feed your sheep with his word
and to teach them by his example.
Help us by his prayers to keep the faith he taught
and follow the way of life he showed us.
Grant this through our Lord …
