The San Juan Catholic Community will Celebrate
Candlemas and St. Blaise with the Blessing of Throats
at all of our Masses on February 4 & 5.
Please bring your candles to be blessed to these Masses.

Lord Jesus Christ, the true light, who enlightens every man coming into this world, pour forth Thy blessing  upon these candles, and sanctify them with the Thy grace: and mercifully grant, that as these lights enkindled with visible fire dispel the darkness of night, so our hearts illumined by invisible fire, that is, the brightness of the Holy Spirit, may be free from the blindness of every sin; that the eye of our minds being purified, we may be able to discern what is pleasing to Thee and conducive to our salvation; so that after the perilous darkness of this life we may deserve to arrive at never-failing light.  Through Thee, Christ Jesus, Savior of the world, who in perfect Trinity livest and reignest God, world without end.   Amen

  Through the intercession of St. Blaise, bishop and martyr,
may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and
from every other illness:  In the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit.   Amen
