The Great Commandments (H.S.) Jesus said that the whole Law can be summed up in two Commandments: Thou shall love the Lord, thy God, with thy whole heart, with thy whole soul, and with thy mind. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Matthew 22:37-39

The Beatitudes (H.S.) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are those who suffer persecution for justice’s sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:3-10
How to Baptize in Case of Emergency (H.S.) Pour ordinary water on the forehead of the person to be baptized, with the intention of doing what Holy Mother Church does, and while pouring it, say: “N., I baptize thee in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Any person of faith of either sex who has reached the age of reason can and should baptize in case of necessity. The same person must say the words while pouring water.
How to Prepare for a Sick Call (H.S.) Cover a small table with a white tablecloth. If possible, the table should be prepared near the bed so as to be within sight of the sick person. On the table place a Crucifix, two blessed and lighted candles—one on either side of the Crucifix—a bottle of Holy Water and a dish containing two pieces of cotton. If the Priest is bringing the Most Holy Eucharist, also place a spoon, a napkin and a glass of water on the table. When the Priest arrives, a member of the family should meet him at the door with a lighted candle, genuflect to the Most Blessed Sacrament, and lead the Priest into the sick room.
Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified (H.S.) My Good and Dear Jesus, I kneel before You, asking You most earnestly to engrave upon my heart a deep and lively faith, hope, and charity with true repentance for my sins, and a firm resolve to make amends. As I reflect upon Your Five Wounds, and dwell upon them with deep compassion and grief, I recall, Good Jesus, the words the prophet David spoke long ago concerning Yourself: “They have pierced My Hands and Feet; they have counted all My Bones!”
