Our Mission — Nuestra Misión

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, has been serving the com-munity of South Ozone Park and beyond since 1923. We are a diverse multi-ethnic Catholic community in a neighborhood of people of many faiths.

We follow Jesus Christ proclaiming him to parish and neighborhood; and we use our gifts and talents to serve others.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Ho-ly Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment 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 sepa-rated from you. Amen.

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe; Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved chil-dren. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother, and again for our nation and world. And for all our families and loved ones. The pro-tection of your holy angels, that we may

be spared the worst of this illness. For those already afflicted. We ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust. In this time of trial and testing teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Je-sus to our land and to our hearts. We come to you with confi-dence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.

Antifonia de Entrada: Seis dias antes de la Pascua, cuando el Señor entró en la ciudad de Jerusalén, salieron los niños a su encuentro y llevando en sus manos ramos de palmera, aclamaban con fuerte voz: Hosanna en el cielo, Bendito Tú, que vienes lleno de bondad y de misericordia. Puertas, abranse de par en par, agrandensen, portones eternos por que va a en-trar el Rey de la Gloria. Y quien es el Rey de la Gloria? El Señor de los ejércitos es el Rey de la Gloria. Hosanna en el cielo. Bendito tu, que vienes lleno de bondad y de misericordia. (Juan 12,1. 12-13)

Entrance Antiphon: Six days before the Passo-ver, when the Lord came into the city of Jerusa-lem, the children ran to meet him; in their hands they carried palm branches and with a loud voice cried out: Hosanna in the highest!! Blessed are you, who have come in your abundant mercy! O gates, lift high your heads, grow higher, an-cient doors. Let him enter, the king of glory! Who is the king of glory? He , the Lord of hosts, he is the king of glory. Hosanna in he highest!! Blessed are you, who have come in your abun-dant mercy!! (John 12,1.12-13)
