Jesus, bring us into adoration of You.
Call us, grace us, till we come and sit and feel Your love and peace.
Jesus, what a gift You have given us, Your true body and blood
from the altar to our hearts.
You give us the bread of life, and You call us to just trust You, and
let You be the Lord of our lives.
Jesus, give us the desire to absolutely believe in Your true presense
in all the tabernacles of the world.
Thank You for the gift of Your presense.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE JOY OF PERSECUTION
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=4/18/2010
"The apostles for their part left the Sanhedrin full of joy that they
had been judged worthy of ill-treatment for the sake of the Name." —Acts
5:41
How do you know whether you're really getting into the Easter
Spirit? Are you being persecuted because of your witness for the
risen Christ? Are you joyful that you have been judged worthy of
this persecution? Persecution and joy are the tell-tale signs of a
real Easter — not either persecution or joy, but both persecution
and joy.
This doesn't mean that we have to feel good about persecution
but that we rejoice in the Lord always no matter what (Phil 4:4).
Some Christians maintain they are witnessing for Jesus but not
persecuted, because those around them are too nice to do such a
thing. Possibly the Lord has spared them persecution for a time,
but more likely they're not proclaiming the radical gospel of the
risen Christ.
When people don't believe in the risen Christ, persecution is a
normal response to the earth-shaking, mind- boggling,
life-transforming message of the resurrection. There's nothing
that can shake people up more than the resurrection. Since Jesus
is risen and death is defeated, they must change their lives
dramatically and radically. This challenge will result in either
repentance or persecution. Both of these reactions result in joy
for Christians (see Lk 15:7).

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
WITNESS AWAKENS VOCATIONS
LOVE AND COMMUNION
The Second Vatican Council, in speaking of the witness that awakens
vocations, emphasizes the example of charity and of fraternal
cooperation that priests must offer...
"PRECIOUS LEGACY"
It can be said that priestly vocations are born of contact with priests,
as a sort of precious legacy handed down by word, example and a
whole way of life. The same can be said with regard to the consecrated
life.
(Source: Message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations [4/25/2010], issued
11/13/ 2009)
