April 20th Easter Sunday
Thank You, thank You Jesus, for giving us the right to someday come home and spend eternity
in heaven with the Triune God.
Jesus, You died that we might have life and have it fully.
Jesus, You rose to show us that there is an eternal life for all.
Your love is beyond all understanding and yet You, God, became one of us in all things but
sin.
Then Lord, You carried all the sins of mankind to the cross, so that we could be free.
Thank You for all that You do and have done for us.
Thank You for continuing to love us, and helping us, and walking with us, till the day we
come home to You.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday SON-RISE SERVICE
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/20/2014
"Since you have been raised up in company with Christ..." -Colossians 3:1
Happy Easter! As the heavenly messengers said, let us "remember what" Jesus told us to
expect after the cross (see Lk 24:6):
."The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, who will put Him to death,
and He will be raised up on the third day" (Mt 17:22-23).
."After I am raised up, I will go to Galilee ahead of you" (Mk 14:28).
."Do not tell anyone of the vision until the Son of Man rises from the dead" (Mt 17:9).
."I lay down My life to take it up again. No one takes it from Me; I lay it down freely. I
have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again" (Jn 10:17-18).
.The "world...cannot hold Me" (Jn 8:23).
."I tell you this: soon you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power
and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mt 26:64).
"You have been raised up in company with Christ" (Col 3:1). "Your life is hidden now with
Christ in God" (Col 3:3). "Be intent on things above rather than on things of earth"
(Col 3:2). Serve the risen Son. "Bear witness that" Jesus is risen (Acts 10:42). Like Mary
Magdalene, run and tell a hurting world that Jesus is "the Resurrection and the Life"
(Jn 11:25). Alleluia!
Prayer: Jesus, give me a risen tongue and a risen vocabulary. May I speak to all of risen
freedom in You.
Promise: "Everyone who believes in Him has forgiveness of sins through His name." -Acts 10:43
Praise: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice" (Ps 118:24).
Alleluia! We are free indeed! (Jn 8:36)

a large bribe with the instructions: 'You are to say, "His disciples came during the night
and stole Him while we were asleep." ' " -Matthew 28:12-13
Tuesday "YOUR WILL BE DONE" (Mt 6:10)

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
A prayerful request for equal, fair & decent treatment of American citizens and all children
of God in 'nursing homes', especially those who needlessly sufer in... silence due to,
mostly nighttime, ill-behavior (theft, bullying (even 1 of the overnight nurses acts as
their enabler), neglect, abuse (mental & physical), and of course 'intimidation' - to keep
us residents from talking - much prayer is needed, continuously. (The majority of nurses are
'nice' to 'angelic'). A 'functional' 'nursing home' visitation ministry would be welcome...
mainly to keep us residents, our minds from dwelling on how we are continually raped
(female & male)... all to line someone's pocket. PAX
(S.J.P.L., New York, United States, 4/19/2014 9:17:22 PM)
For the spiritual, emotional, and physical well being of our daughter EB. Please bring her

forgiving himself and others .Please touch him and bring him back my family i do not want

Please pray for my relationship. I have found the one loved me as who I am, however, I said
to break up with her because of my pride, and hurt her. Please pray for harden heart so that
she can accept me once more, and unite us in holy matrimony. amen.
(andrew, United States, 4/19/2014 2:56:08 PM)
On this Holy Saturday, let us unite with Mary in Her grief at the death of Her Son; Our Lord
Jesus Christ.Oh Dear Mary we are unable to comprehend the grief and suffering You endured
witnessing the most horrific treatment of one human to another.we pray for Your intercession
that The Lord will have mercy on us for our continued disregard of His Commandments. For
those who come to you one or twice a year to fulfill the requirement of the Church and for
the rest of the year, don't even know Jesus and afraid to acknowledge the blessing that have
been bestowed upon them. Jesus died for each of us; let us come to know the depth of His
Love and recognize our sins and ask for His forgiveness.after all that's what Jesus died for
.OUR SINS and our salvation! Mother Mary intercede for us.

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2014-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
JESUS, POVERTY AND LENT
WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
May the Holy Spirit, through Whom we are "as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing
and yet possessing everything" (2 Cor 6:10), sustain us in our resolutions and increase our
concern and responsibility for human destitution, so that we can become merciful and act
with mercy.
"OUR PATH OF CONVERSION"
As Lent draws near, I would like to offer some helpful thoughts on our path of conversion
as individuals and as a community. These insights are inspired by the words of Saint Paul;
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake
He became poor, so that by His poverty you might become rich" (2 Cor 8:9).
"THE GREATEST TREASURE OF ALL"
... What is this poverty by which Christ frees us and enriches us? It is His way of loving
us, His way of being our neighbor... What gives us true freedom, true salvation and true
happiness is the compassion, tenderness and solidarity of His love. Christ's poverty which
enriches us is His taking flesh and bearing our weaknesses and sins as an expression of
God's infinite mercy to us. Christ's poverty is the greatest treasure of all.
