Helping the Homebound
Someone who is homebound, is a person that is physically unable to attend Church.
To minister to the homebound is to offer them a way to stay united to the Body of Christ through means like prayer, communion and more.
Do you know someone who is homebound? Let us know so we can offer them ministry. You can contact the Church: 218.463.2441

31 Prayers for Eucharistic Revival
by the Diocese of Crookston
Join us as we pray the Eucharistic Revival Prayer during Mass. Prayer cards are available in the pews.
Prayer for the Eucharistic Revival
Lord Jesus, you give us your flesh & blood for the life of the world, and you desire that all people come to the Supper of the Sacrifice of the Lamb. Renew in your Church the truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the Most Blessed Eucharist.
Jesus living in the Eucharist, come and live in me. Jesus healing in the Eucharist come and heal me. Jesus sacrificing yourself in the Eucharist, come and suffer in me. Jesus rising in the Eucharist, come and rise to new life in me. Jesus loving in the Eucharist, come and love in me.
Lord Jesus Christ, through the paschal mystery of your death resurrection made present in every Holy Mass, pour out your healing love on your Church and on our world. Grant that as wee lift you up during this time of the Eucharistic Revival, your Holy Spirit may draw people to join us at this Banquet of Life. You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist, Pray for Us.
