April 12th Divine Mercy Sunday
Jesus, Your mercy is without bounds.
Your mercy is a bright light that shines in the darkness of sin.
Your mercy is unending and Your love unbeatable.
You are a God of mercy and of love.
You are the light of the world, and Your love and mercy lifts us
up anytime we turn to You.
You always call us into a relationship of love, trust and mercy.
Help us in our struggle to be free of sin, and continue to shower
down on us the love and mercy that is pure love.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday THE ROAD TO POWER
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/12/2015
"With power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus." -Acts 4:33
Pope John Paul II called our culture a "culture of death." This seems
to indicate that the new life in the risen Christ has not been widely
accepted. Why have we not been effective in witnessing with power for
the risen Christ?
To witness with power, we must witness with our lips and our money and
possessions. "None of them ever claimed anything as his own; rather,
everything was held in common" (Acts 4:32). However, even if we did
pool our resources, we would probably make a mess of it because we
don't have the unity, community, authority, submission, accountability,
and stability necessary to organize and distribute wisely a large
outlay of financial responsibilities.
How can we willingly suffer the pains of growing in unity so that we
can live a community life that supports and directs radical commitment
and powerful witnessing for the risen Christ? We must obey the Lord's
constant command: "Do not fear."
How can we overcome fear, be "of one heart and one mind," live a new,
free life, and be a powerful "witness to the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus"? (Acts 4:32, 33) "Love has no room for fear; rather, perfect
love casts out all fear" (1 Jn 4:18).
To begin moving towards being powerful witnesses for Jesus, we need to
receive His love much more deeply. This love will cover a multitude of
sins (1 Pt 4:8) and motivate us to fearlessness, unity, commitment,
and power (see 2 Cor 5:14).
Prayer: Father, use every circumstance of my life, especially my death,
to bear witness powerfully to Your risen Son.
Promise: "Everyone begotten of God conquers the world, and the power
that has conquered the world is this faith of ours." -1 Jn 5:4
Praise: Praise Jesus, Lord and God! (Jn 20:28) He holds the keys to
death and the nether world (Rv 1:18). He is risen forever!
Monday MANY HAPPY RETURNS?

"After being released, the two went back to their own people." -Acts 4:23
Tuesday RISEN LIFE IS NEW
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/14/2015
"You must all be begotten from above." -John 3:7

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FATHERS AND FAMILIES
NEEDED BY ALL
Every family needs a father... I would like to begin ...with the Book
of Proverbs, words that a father addresses to his own son ... "My son,
if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad. My soul will rejoice
when your lips speak what is right" (Pr 23:15-16).
"PRIDE AND EMOTION"
Nothing could better express the pride and emotion a father feels when
he understands that he has handed down to his child what really
matters in life, that is, a wise heart.
THE COST OF FATHERHOOD
A father knows all too well what it costs to hand down this heritage:
how close, how gentle and how firm to be.
