Urban Plunge Now Serving the Gainesville Area
The Diocese of St. Augustine’s Urban Plunge Youth Ministry is excited to announce the March 18-20 Spring Plunge. We invite all Gainesville Deanery parishes to share this opportunity with their communities.
This no-cost home repair initiative serves residents in Putnam County and surrounding areas, allowing youth and adults to put their faith into action by helping homeowners in need.
Mark your calendars for a larger Urban Plunge event in the same area this summer, July 6-12.
Need Home Repairs?
Please contact Robin Shipley at rshipley@dosafl.com or submit an application form online at ow.ly/pQyY50UIKvo. Requests will be prioritized based on need and available skills.
Thank you for sharing this meaningful ministry!
INTENTION
>> May every pregnant mother choosing adoption receive grace and support in embracing this loving option.
PRAYERS
>> Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, Glory Be
REFLECTION
>> Mothers placing their children for adoption often face many challenges along the way. One of the greatest obstacles can be perceiving adoption as abandonment. But a mother who determines that making an adoption plan is best for her child isn’t deserting her child. Rather, she is following the example of Christ’s sacrificial love on the Cross in choosing a life-giving option that she has determined is ultimately in the best interest of her child, even at great cost to herself. The Letter to the Hebrews reminds us that, in the face of fears and trials, we can “hold fast to the hope that lies before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm” (Heb 6:18-19). We pray that each expectant mother will be filled with “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding” (Phil 4:7) as she decides which life-giving option is best for her child. Let us all cling fast to the anchor of hope, for we have received “a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, ‘Abba, Father!’” (Rom 8:15).
INTERCESIÓN
>> Que cada madre embarazada que elige la adopción reciba gracia y apoyo al asumir esta opción de amor.
ORACIONES
>> Padre nuestro, 3 Ave Marías, Gloria
