Thank You, Jesus, You have risen from the dead and gave us a new and
everlasting covenant of love.
Jesus, You are the way, the truth and the life, and only in You will we
ever find rest and peace.
Jesus, thank You for loving us so much that You died a horrible death
and defeated satan for all time.
Thank You, Jesus, that Your death on the cross covered the forgiveness
of sin for everyone, always.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your unconditional love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FRESH BREAD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/4/2010
"Get rid of the old yeast to make of yourselves fresh dough,
unleavened loaves, as it were; Christ our Passover has been
sacrificed." —1 Corinthians 5:7
Alleluia! Jesus has risen! He's alive! Alleluia!
For many Christians, the good news of Jesus' resurrection from
the dead isn't "news" anymore. It's old. They've heard it (or not
heard it) for years. Instead of being evangelized to Christianity,
they have been immunized to it. They mistakenly think that the
lukewarm version of Easter they've received is all there is to the
good news.
We must get rid of the old yeast of sin. We must repent of
compromising with the values of the world and of thereby letting
the risen Christ be upstaged by NCAA basketball, major league
baseball, spring break, chocolate Easter bunnies, or even
marshmallow chicks. We must proclaim Jesus' resurrection with
power by making major financial moves and lifestyle changes —
all because of the risen Christ (see Acts 4:33-35).
Jesus died and was buried because of our sins. Unless we break
out of the tomb of sin, we will not be witnesses for the risen Christ
but anti-witnesses. We will conceal the risen Lord rather than
reveal Him. Therefore, we must ask for the forgiveness of our sins
through His name (Acts 10:43). On the first Easter Sunday evening,
Jesus offered us forgiveness (Jn 20:23). We must repent if we are
to be credible witnesses for the risen Jesus.
Monday "ONLY SAY THE WORD..."
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/5/2010
"This is the Jesus God has raised up, and we are His witnesses." —Acts
2:32
Tuesday GENERATION OR GENERATOR?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/6/2010
Peter "kept urging, 'Save yourselves from this generation which
has gone astray.' Those who accepted his message were baptized;
some three thousand were added that day." —Acts 2:40-41

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2010-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WITNESS AWAKENS VOCATIONS
"ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE"
Personal witness, in the form of concrete existential choices, will
encourage young people... to make demanding decisions
concerning their future. Those who would assist them need to
have the skills for encounter and dialogue which are capable of
enlightening and accompanying them, above all through the
example of life lived as a vocation.
MARY AND VOCATIONS
May the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, watch over each tiny
seed of vocation in the hearts of those whom the Lord calls to
follow Him more closely, may she help it to grow into a mature tree,
bearing much good fruit for the Church and for all humanity.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations [4/25/2010], issued
11/13/ 2009)
