May 6th. Fifth Sunday of Easter
Jesus, as we are in new seasons, help us to realize that with You there aren't any seasons,
just praise and glory to Your Name.
Jesus, continue to grace us, so that we can continue to open our hearts to Your graces that
lift us up to You.
Bring us to adoration, that we may just sit, and be with You.
Help us to continue to let You be the total Lord of our lives.
Help us to love others as You love us.
Bring us all safey someday into Your eternal kingdom.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THE PEACE OF THE RESURRECTION
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/6/2012
"The Church was at peace." -Acts 9:31
When the risen Jesus met the women leaving the tomb, He gave the customary Jewish greeting,
"Shalom" (Peace) (Mt 28:9). When the risen Jesus met the apostles on the first
Resurrection evening, He again said "Shalom" (Peace) (Jn 20:19, 21). Likewise, Jesus wants
to give us peace for an Easter present.
Jesus left us peace in His last will and testament. He promised: " 'Peace' is My farewell
to you, My peace is My gift to you; I do not give it to you as the world gives peace"
(Jn 14:27). His peace is not based on circumstances. His peace can be present even at the
funeral home or hospital, in divorce or rejection, and in painful suffering. Jesus wants us
to be "at peace before Him no matter what our consciences may charge us with"
(1 Jn 3:19-20). Even if we still feel guilty after confessing our sins because of a
scrupulous conscience, Jesus will give us a peace we never dreamed possible, a peace
"beyond all understanding" (Phil 4:7).
Jesus is our Peace (Eph 2:14). When we surrender to Him by doing His will instead of ours
(see Mt 26:39), we make peace. When we surrender in the "battle of wills" between the
Lord's will and ours, we win peace. Win peace, make peace, surrender to Jesus Who is our
Peace.
Prayer: Father, may I be a peacemaker (see Mt 5:9) by denying myself and obeying You.
Promise: "I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who lives in Me and I in him, will
produce abundantly, for apart from Me you can do nothing." -Jn 15:5
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus, Victor over death. "All the families of the nations shall
bow down before" You (Ps 22:28).
Monday THE PRIVILEGE OF OBEDIENCE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/7/2012
"He who obeys the commandments he has from Me is the man who loves Me." -John 14:21
Tuesday PEACE TALKS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=5/8/2012
" 'Peace' is My farewell to you, My peace is My gift to you; I do not give it to you as
the world gives peace." -John 14:27

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
"AT THE HEART"
At the heart of every culture ... is a consensus about the nature of reality and the
moral good and ... about the conditions for human flourishing. In America, that
consensus, as enshrined in your nation's founding documents, was grounded in a
worldview shaped not only by faith but a commitment to certain ethical principles
deriving from nature and nature's God.
SIGNIFICANT EROSION
Today that consensus has eroded significantly in the face of powerful new cultural
currents which are not only directly opposed to core moral teachings of the
Judeo-Christian tradition, but increasingly hostile to Christianity as such.
KEY TO HAPPINESS
... The Church in the United States is called ... to proclaim a Gospel which not only
proposes unchanging moral truths but proposes them precisely as the key to human
happiness and social prospering ...
(Source: Ad limina meeting with US bishops, 1/19/2012)
