Jesus, help us to really start to understand Your divine mercy.
It is never ending.
Your love for us is not even really understandable.
We are finite and You are infinite.
We love and have mercy mostly on those that like us and do good to us.
But You are giving mercy to all people, no matter what they have done.
You love us with a love that knows no bounds.
Please, Jesus, help us to become better at giving mercy and being merciful to all those in our lives.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/1/2011
"One of the twelve, Thomas (the name means 'Twin'), was absent when Jesus came. The other
disciples kept telling him: 'We have seen the Lord!' His answer was, 'I will never believe it.' " -John 20:24-25
This world of "doubting Thomases" is profoundly unimpressed by our church services and
Easter decorations. The stone is not rolled away as far as they are concerned. It sees Christians
as hypocrites, who really don't believe the doctrines they mouth.
Jesus comes to the doubting Thomases and says: "If you think seeing is believing, I'll give you
something to see." He shows them His wounds like He did Thomas, or knocks them to the ground
like He did Saul (Acts 9:4). He calls us, the believers, to share all things in common and sell our
property and goods (Acts 2:44-45). Jesus makes His presence and resurrection so concrete even
doubting Thomas confesses: "My Lord and My God!" (Jn 20:28)
Will you take resurrection risks? Will you have the courage to show your wounds? Will you put
your money where your mouth is? Will you unlock your upper room of fear? (Jn 20:26) Jesus'
resurrection Kingdom "does not consist in talk but in power" (1 Cor 4:20). "With power the
apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus" (Acts 4:33).
Monday CHURCH MILITANT OR CHURCH DEFEATED?

"They were filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's word with confidence." -Acts 4:31
Tuesday ONLY PENTECOST
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/3/2011
"After I have been with You all this time, you still do not know Me?" -John 14:9

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PROMOTE VOCATIONS
"CHALLENGING WAY"
"Proposing Vocations in the Local Church" means having the courage, through an attentive
and suitable concern for vocations, to point out this challenging way of following Christ
which, because it is so rich in meaning, is capable of engaging the whole of one's life.
"PRECIOUS OPPORTUNITY"
... Every moment in the life of the Church community - catechesis, formation meetings,
liturgical prayer, pilgrimages - can be a precious opportunity for awakening in the People
of God, and in particular in children and young people, a sense of belonging to the Church
and of responsibility for answering the call to priesthood and to religious life by a free and
informed decision.
