Friday, September 11, at the 9 AM Mass at St. Cecilia we begin our Forty Hours Devotion. This is a beautiful Catholic tradition of spending extended time in prayer before Jesus—truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. The Eucharist is exposed for Adoration over a period of roughly forty hours, recalling the time Christ’s body rested in the tomb between His death and Resurrection. It is an opportunity for the whole parish to come before Jesus, to worship Him, thank Him, seek His mercy, and simply remain in His presence.
