Jesus, Easter is a time of great joy for us because we celebrate Your resurrection from the dead.
You have covered the effects of all sin forever.
We can't out sin Your forgiveness.
Help us, oh! Jesus, to really do all we can do to forgive those who have hurt us.
Help us to not only forgive, but forget.
Help us to be free of anger and resentment.
Help us to ask ourselves, "what would Jesus do?", "what would Jesus say?", then grace us to live forgiveness.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday EMMAUS MASS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/8/2011
"Were not our hearts burning inside us?" -Luke 24:32
The pattern used by Jesus in the Emmaus walk is the pattern of the Mass: Notice the sequence
of events Jesus uses as He walks to Emmaus with His disciples and then stays with them
afterward. The Church follows the same pattern to this very day in the Mass:
1. Liturgy of the Word. We listen intently to the Scriptures, so much so that our heart burns
within us (Lk 24:32). We ask Jesus to open our minds to understand the Scriptures (Lk 24:45).
During the homily, the significance of the Word is interpreted for us (see Lk 24:27).
2. Liturgy of the Eucharist. When the banquet of the Word of God has been completed, Jesus
breaks the bread. It is during the Eucharist that our eyes are especially opened to recognize
Jesus present with us (Lk 24:31).
3. At the conclusion of Mass, a word which means "sent," we ourselves are sent forth to love
and serve the Lord. The two disciples at Emmaus got the message. They immediately set out to
announce the good news of Jesus to others (Lk 24:33). We are likewise sent forth.
We may enter Mass preoccupied (Lk 24:14) or downcast (Lk 24:18) like the disciples on the
road to Emmaus before they encountered Jesus. We may enter Mass slow to believe (Lk 24:25).
Yet even one Mass can catapult us into experiencing new, risen life in Jesus. Go to Mass as
often as possible, even daily. Let Jesus set your heart ablaze with His risen life.
Monday "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?" (Jn 1:38)

Tuesday LIFE WITH JESUS

Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
PROMOTE VOCATIONS
"HALLMARK OF VITALITY"
The ability to foster vocations is a hallmark of vitality of a local Church.
IMITATE JESUS
The work of carefully encouraging and supporting vocations finds a radiant source
of inspiration in those places in the Gospel where Jesus calls His disciples to follow
Him and trains them with love and care.
"INSISTENT PRAYER"
Vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the consecrated life are first and
foremost the fruit of constant contact with the living God and insistent prayer lifted
up to the "Lord of the harvest," whether in parish communities, in Christian families
or in groups specifically devoted to prayer for vocations.
