April 19th Third Sunday of Easter
Jesus, bring us into adoration of You.
Call us, grace us, till we come and sit and feel Your love and peace.
Jesus, what a gift You have given us, Your true body and blood
from the altar to our hearts.
You give us the bread of life, and You call us to just trust You, and
let You be the Lord of our lives.
Jesus, give us the desire to absolutely believe in Your true presense
in all the tabernacles of the world.
Thank You for the gift of Your presense.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday O, KNOW!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/19/2015
"Yet I know, my brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your
leaders did." -Acts 3:17
Contrary to the old sayings, ignorance is not bliss and what you don't
know can hurt you and others very much. In addition to sin, ignorance
was the cause of the worst crime ever committed - our murder and
execution of God by crucifixion on Calvary. Paul taught: "None of the
rulers of this age knew the mystery; if they had known it, they would
never have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Cor 2:8). We "perish for
want of knowledge" (Hos 4:6).
If we know God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we have
eternal life (see Jn 17:3). However, if we don't know the Lord, even
if we say we do (1 Jn 2:4), we are caught up in "a great war of
ignorance" (Wis 14:22). In this state of war and ignorance, people
"celebrate either child-slaying sacrifices or clandestine mysteries,
or frenzied carousals in unheard-of rites, they no longer safeguard
either lives or pure wedlock; but each either waylays and kills his
neighbor, or aggrieves him by adultery. And all is confusion - blood
and murder, theft and guile, corruption, faithlessness, turmoil,
perjury, disturbance of good men, neglect of gratitude, besmirching
of souls, unnatural lust, disorder in marriage, adultery and
shamelessness" (Wis 14:23-26).
The Lord doesn't expect us to know everything. He may not even expect
us to know that much. Nonetheless, He does expect us to know as much
as possible. Know the truth. Know the teachings of Christ's body, the
Church, especially those in the Bible. Know God (Phil 3:10).
Prayer: Father, may I not be misshapen in ignorance (1 Pt 1:14).
Promise: "He opened their minds to the understanding of the Scriptures."
-Lk 24:45
Praise: Praise Jesus, risen from the dead! "Death is swallowed up in
victory" (1 Cor 15:54). Alleluia forever!
Monday GETTING WORKED UP?
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/20/2015
" 'What must we do to perform the works of God?' Jesus replied: 'This
is the work of God: have faith in the One Whom He sent.' " -John 6:28-29
Tuesday THE BEST FOR LAST
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/21/2015
"And with that he died." -Acts 7:60

Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He's alive! "O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?" (1 Cor 15:55) We as Christians have
personally had the most overwhelming experience imaginable. The One

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
FATHERS AND FAMILIES
THE JOY OF FATHERHOOD
... What consolation and what recompense he receives when the children
honor this legacy! It is a joy that rewards all the toil, that overcomes
every misunderstanding and heals every wound.
"ALWAYS PRESENT"
The first need .... is ... that a father be present in the family. That
he be close to his wife, to share everything, joy and sorrow, hope and
hardship. And that he be close to his children as they grow: when they
play and when they strive, when they are carefree and when they are
distressed, when they are talkative and when they are silent, when they
are daring and when they are afraid, when they take a wrong step and
when they find their path again; a father who is always present.
PRESENT NOT CONTROLLING
To say "present" is not to say "controlling"! Fathers who are too
controlling cancel out their own children, they don't let them develop.
