St. Patrick Parish

Due to the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the requests of our government officials, Bishop Daly has suspended all Masses in the Diocese of Spokane until Monday, April 6th. This may very well be the most difficult Lenten season any of us have seen. Please pray that this crisis may be diverted so that Holy Week celebrations may go forth unhindered. If you have any sacramental or other emergencies (food or medicine) please do not hesitate to contact me. – Fr. Gaines (509) 487-6363

Spiritual Communion: (When we cannot attend Holy Mass)
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now 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. -St. Alphonsus
 
Prayer to Our Lady, Health of the Sick:
Virgin, most holy, Mother of the Word Incarnate, Treasurer of graces, and Refuge of sinners, I fly top your motherly affection with lively faith, and I beg of you the grace ever to do the will of God.
Into your most holy hands I commit the keeping of my heart, asking you for health of soul and body, in the certain hope that you, my most loving Mother, will hear my prayer.
Into the bosom of your tender mercy, this day, every day of my life, and at the hour of my death, I commend my soul and body.
To you I entrust all my hopes and consolations, all my trials and miseries, my life and the end of my life, that all my actions may be ordered and disposed according to your will and that of your Divine Son. Amen.
 
Pray to the 14 Efficacious Holy Helpers in Times of Adversity and Difficulties:
Let us prayer.  Almighty and Eternal God. Who has bestowed extraordinary graces and gifts on Thy Saints George, Blaise, Erasmus, Pantaleon, Vitus, Christopher, Denis, Cyriacus, Eustace, Achatius, Giles, Margaret, Catherine and Barbara, and has illustrated them by miracles; we beseech Thee to graciously hear the petitions of all who invoke their intercession. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

O GOD, Who did miraculously fortify the Fourteen Holy Helpers in the confession of the Faith; grant us, we beseech Thee, to imitate their fortitude in overcoming all temptations against the Faith, and protect us through their intercession in all dangers of soul and body, so that we may serve Thee in purity of heart and chastity of body. Through Jesus Christ our Lord in unity with the Holy Spirit, one God for all eternity. Amen
