I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)
Remembering our deceased loved ones in November:
Place a picture of your loved ones
in front of the altar in church!
In November, we honor the saints – known and unknown - and ask for their prayers for us. And we pray for the dead, all the souls of all the deceased – those known to us, and those unknown. Perhaps you might want to bring a picture/photo of your loved ones and place it on the cloth in front of the altar in the church during the month of November?
Visiting our brothers and sister in Christ in hospitals and nursing homes: Extraordinary Ministers
of Holy Communion needed! I would like to ask you again, to pray over this: is the Lord perhaps calling you to serve your brothers and sisters in Christ who are residents or patients in nursing homes, assisted living places or hospitals within the boundaries of our parish by visiting them – perhaps once a week, or once a month, two by two - and bringing them our Eucharistic Lord? Let me ([email protected]) or the parish office (505-881 1772; [email protected]) know! May God bless you! Fr. Simeon

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit you prepared the body and soul of Mary, glorious Virgin and Mother, to become the worthy habitation of you Son; grant that by her gracious intercession, in whose commemoration we rejoice, we may be delivered from present evils and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen V. May the divine assistance remain with us always. R. Amen.

La Santo Rosario, y: Dios te salve, Reina y Madre de misericordia,
vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra; Dios te salve.
A ti llamamos los desterrados hijos de Eva;
a ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando en este valle de lágrimas.
Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra,
vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos;
y después de este destierro,
muéstranos a Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. ¡Oh clementísima, oh piadosa, oh dulce Virgen María! V. Ruega por nosotros, Santa Madre de Dios. R. Para que seamos dignos de alcanzar las promesas de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amen. Oremos.
Omnipotente sempiterno Dios, que, con la cooperación del Espíritu Santo, preparasteis el cuerpo y el alma de la gloriosa Virgen y Madre Maria, para que fuese merecedora de ser digna morada de vuestro Hijo; concedednos que, pues celebramos con alegría su conmemoración, por su piadosa intercesión seamos liberados de los males presentes y de la muerte eterna. Por el mismo Cristo, Señor nuestro. R. Amen. V. Que el auxilio divino permanezca para siempre. R. Amen
