Day of Adoration to celebrate the Jubilee Year
Pope Francis has declared 2025 to be a Jubilee Year, a “holy year”, to celebrate God’s grace, His love and His mercy. The theme of the Jubilee Year is “Pilgrims of Hope”, focusing on how we grow in God’s grace and His hope by traveling as pilgrims on this life’s journey to Heaven.
Join Catholics around the world in dedicating time in prayer and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament on Friday, March 28, 2025. Pope Francis has called for all to participate in “24 Hours for the Lord” in the Jubilee Year of Hope.
St. Matthew will host a “Day of Adoration” on Friday, March 28, 2025, beginning with Mass at 7 am and continuing with Adoration until 6 pm. We will celebrate Stations of the Cross at 6 pm, concluding with Benediction.
Please join us for Adoration on that day. If you would like to commit to an hour, please call St. Matthew’s office at 323-8878 or email Jeanine at office@stmatthewmonroe.org -

Divine Mercy Chaplet
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.
C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.
