April 10th Third Sunday of Easter
Jesus, Easter and Divine Mercy Sundays have passed, and now we are back to the daily ways
of life.
But Jesus, in You there isn't any ordinary ways of life.
We are called to be new creations, we are called to be on fire with love for You and
graced to help others.
Jesus, never let us feel ordinary, but let us feel as new vessals of love, joy and peace.
Lord, let us spread Your love to others, by how we live.
Lord, let us draw others to You by our examples of love, joy and peace.
Jesus, remind us that we are pilgrims on a journey through life that is leading us to Your
heavenly home.
Let us not be so concerned and worried, about the pressures of life, but, see Your love
and help in all situations.
Thank You Jesus.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday CATCH-Y?

"The apostles for their part left the Sanhedrin full of joy that they had been judged
worthy of ill-treatment for the sake of the Name." -Acts 5:41
Peter went back into the fishing business and quit following Jesus (see Jn 21:3). He
probably did this because of his long-standing problems with Jesus' command to take up
the cross. When Jesus had first mentioned the cross to His disciples, Peter had
downplayed the whole thing. Then "Jesus turned on Peter and said, 'Get out of My sight,
you satan!' " (Mt 16:23) Peter had made plans to stay on the mountain of the
Transfiguration rather than go into the valley of suffering and death on the cross
(see Mt 17:4). When Jesus was about to die on the cross, Peter had denied Him three
times. Therefore, it's reasonable to surmise that Peter went back into the fishing
business to escape the cross.
The risen Jesus then intervened. He caught Peter's attention by telling the disciples
how to catch 153 fish at one time (Jn 21:11). Later, after repeatedly asking Peter if
he loved Him, Jesus "indicated the sort of death by which Peter was to glorify God"
(Jn 21:19). Jesus began to show Peter that he would not only carry a cross but die on
one. The Holy Spirit eventually guided Peter to the full truth (Jn 16:13) about his
own death on the cross. Finally, Peter imitated Jesus to the point that he too died on
a cross.
The risen Jesus is quietly running after you with a cross to give you. If you're
running from the cross, you're running from the risen Christ. Let Him catch you. Be the
fish Jesus catches.
Prayer: Father, may I come to the point that I will boast of nothing but the cross
(Gal 6:14).
Promise: "We testify to this. So too does the Holy Spirit, Whom God has given to those
that obey Him." -Acts 5:32
Praise: Glory and praise to You, risen Lord Jesus, for opening the way into heaven.
Praise be to You forever!

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S MERCY
MERCY TRANSFORMS
God's mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful
love, to become merciful in turn.
THE MIRACLE OF MERCY
In an ever new miracle, divine mercy shines forth in our lives, inspiring each of us to
love our neighbor and to devote ourselves to ... the spiritual and corporal works of
mercy.
WORKS OF MERCY
These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to
help our neighbors in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing
them. On such things we will be judged. For this reason, I expressed my hope that "the
Christian people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; this will be
a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty, and to
enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience
of God's mercy" (Misericordiae Vultus).
