By the Blood and Water which poured from Your Most Sacred Heart, cleanse us from our sins and protect us from all evil and assaults of the enemy. We place in Your Heart all of our labors, cares, sorrows and fears. May whatever good we do and whatever suffering we endure bring us closer to Your Heart and help us to grow in likeness to You.
To Your Most Sacred Heart, O Lord, we present to You Saint Francis Health System, all of its staff, health care providers and affiliates – past present and future. You invite all who Labor and are heavy burdened to come to You for rest, and You promise that, if we learn of Your meek and humble Heart, we will find our work is made easy and our burdens are lightened. It is in Your Most Sacred Heart that we find the fullness of love and peace. It is in Your Divine Heart that we learn the virtues of humility and meekness, of obedience and self-renunciation.
Jesus, permit us to enter Your Heart as we would a school. Lord, Jesus Christ, You have loved each person to the point of allowing your Heart to be pierced, from which flows Your life upon us and through which we enter and participate in the Kingdom of Heaven. His Heart of Flesh, which first beat under the Immaculate Heart of His Mother, is the same Heart that was moved with pity at the sight of the crowds, was pierced by a lance on the Cross and was left open after the Resurrection for the hand of the disciple to enter. To do this, in the fullness of time, You willed that Your Only Begotten Son be made Incarnate by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You have so loved mankind that You promised to remove from us the heart of stone and give us a Heart of Flesh, a New Heart.

So, I think it is a time to walk in that preparedness, alertness, wisdom but also, most importantly, a spiritual soundness of where is my hope?" he said. "As we've seen in a lot of these situations, there's been a rise of first responders, teachers, coaches, hospital workers making brave, bold, courageous on the spot decisions to try to protect others when danger poses a threat and we've seen this around our nation. Looking back, Victory Church Pastor Paul Daugherty told 2 News Anchor Karen Larsen the city rallying in a moment of crisis and showing such bravery in such darkness led many to pray.
