Thank you Archbishop

For centuries, Love, has been stated in three words... Christ is Risen. We are finally here! Not only at Easter, but at an end to some of the fear that has plagued this year. Let this holy day remind us all that there still is, and will be rebirth, holiness and renewal. We can allow ourselves to rejoice in an end to the toughest week of the pandemic in the U.S. Let us keep persevering to flatten the curve and continue social distancing, but not distancing from God. Trust in ...him, who will see us through anything. Today, we encourage you to read the whole Passion and Resurrection with someone dear, or simply hum out your favorite Easter Hymn throughout the day. God bless you and keep you all always healthy and safe. #EasterSunday #HeisRisen #Catholic #FlattenTheCurve #Hope #Rebirth #Renewal #Faith #Prayer #Pray #Easter #Christ #Love #Community #DTLA #Olacathedralgiftshop

Palm Sunday reminds us to remember the real meaning of Easter. Today marks the beginning of Holy Week. Even though we aren't physically together as a community to commemorate the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, or collect palm branches that represent his path to our salvation, know that the Holy Spirit is with us always. We are together in faith and that warms our hearts. Continuing to pray for all of you. God Bless! #PalmSunday #Faith #CoronaVirus #Health #Prayer #HolyWeek #Palm #DTLA #Community #HolySpirit #Catholic

We know that at times like these, we find comfort in a statue of our favorite Saint, that special rosary, or daily scripture readings and meditation to help us keep the faith. As concern over the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow, additional safety measures have been put in place to protect Cathedral visitors and staff. With the implementation of the Los Angeles Safer at Home directives, the entire Cathedral Complex, Gift Shop and Online Store are now temporarily closed ...to the public. We encourage you to browse through our online store and create an account and a wish list so that these reminders of faith can find their way to your Catholic home when we are back and running. We will keep you informed as more information becomes available. In the meanwhile, please know that the prayers of the Gift Shop staff and all the Cathedral family accompany you during these challenging days. For more information about COVID-19 and what you can do to keep healthy and safe, visit the Centers for Disease Control at cdc.gov or your local health department's website. Let us continue to pray for the health of our community, their families and friends. God Bless you all. #health #safety #socialdistancing #flattenthecurve #faith #community #catholic #prayer #dtla #coronavirus #godisgood #olacathedralgiftshop

During these rapid changes in our world, children might have a difficult time understanding the changing world around us. Thankfully books like, Writing to God, has made it easier for children to speak to God with confidence. This book encourages kids to try talking to our Lord with a pencil, pen, marker, or a box of crayons! It teaches them that talking to God doesn’t have to be perfect, and there’s no need for big or fancy words. They can tell a story using pictures, they can even misspell words, because God understands any expression. This fun journal will distract kids from the challenges we are facing and keep them connected to God. #Journals #Feelings #Challenges #Catholic #Community #Prayers #Peace #DTLA #Olacathedral #Olacathedralgiftshop #Pray #Healing #MentalHealth #TalkingToGod #WritingToGod

This year, St. Joseph finds us fearful about the future, but more available to our loved ones and God. Patron of the Universal Church, fathers, workers, travelers, immigrants, this holy man greets you today through this post to remind you that you are under his continual protection, that he is praying for your secure employment, standard necessities of life, and perhaps encouraging you to use this time of isolation (that just so happens to land on the Lenten season of reflect...ion) to WORK on developing yourself for the good of others. Whether it be a holy card, the liturgy of the hours, coloring St. Joseph with your child home from school, transforming a meal at home into a moment with family, or simply bundling up to a good movie, these are just a few ideas to bring a little cheer into our homes during our hermitting. Rest easy and be assured that the foster father of the Savior of the world and Patron of workers has not forgotten you and is looking out for you. Happy Feast Day to you, St. Joseph! #SaintJoseph #Saint #FeastDay #PrayForUs #Pray #PatronSaint #Catholic #DTLA #OlaCathedral #OlaCathedralGiftShop

The Lord is with me, I will not be afraid Psalm 118:8 Through these difficult times we are facing, we try to remember to stay strong in our faith. Through these beautiful glass inspirational soap dispensers we are reminded to keep the Lord in our hearts, and the germs off our hands. When we put our problems in God’s hands he puts peace in our hearts. We encourage all to take advantage of hand washing times to offer a prayer for those suffering from illness. Reciting the "...Glory Be" takes approximately 7 seconds Reciting the "Hail Mary" takes approximately 10 seconds Reciting the "Our Father" takes approximately 16 seconds #WashYourHands #Catholic #Community #Prayers #Peace #DTLA #Olacathedral #Olacathedralgiftshop #Pray #Healing #Soap #Faith #Strength

We know that times are difficult right now and we want you to know that you are all in our prayers. Today is the feast day of Saint Patrick and we’d like to celebrate this day with all of you in prayer. Remember to keep the faith and God bless you all. May the Strength of God pilot us. May the Power of God preserve us. May the Wisdom of God instruct us. May the Hand of God protect us. May the Way of God direct us. May the Shield of God defend us. May the Host of God gu...ard us Against the snares of the evil ones, Against temptations of the world. May Christ be with us! May Christ be before us! May Christ be in us, Christ be over all! May Thy Salvation, Lord, Always be ours, This day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen. #saintpatricksday #feastday #catholic #community #prayer #faith #hope #peace #stressrelief #goodhealth #irish #ireland #pray #statue #dtla #olacathedral #olacathedralgiftshop
