May 5th 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.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday THE THIRD DEGREE
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/5/2019
"Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" -John 21:16
Three times Jesus addressed Peter not as "Peter," the name Jesus had given him, but as "Simon, son
of John," Peter's name before he met Christ (Jn 21:15, 16, 17).
Jesus asked Peter three times: "Do you love Me?" Was Jesus questioning Simon about his love? Two
weeks ago, every Catholic in the world who went to Easter Vigil or Easter Sunday Mass renewed
baptismal promises by rejecting Satan and professing faith in God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit. What if Jesus asked you today to renew again your baptismal promises? What if He
asked you to renew them again tomorrow? Would Jesus seem unconvinced about our commitment to Him?
Jesus described Simon Peter as a disciple who "went about" as He "pleased" (Jn 21:18). However,
Simon Peter needed to be a disciple who would allow himself to lose his life and even die for
Jesus (Jn 21:18-19).
Do you deserve to be addressed by your baptismal name? Is your love for Jesus convincing? Are you
Jesus' disciple on your terms or on His?
Prayer: Jesus, I choose to follow You to the cross.
Promise: "We testify to this. So too does the Holy Spirit, Whom God has given to those that obey
Him." -Acts 5:32
Praise: Praise You, Jesus, risen in splendor and glory. We adore You with all our hearts. Glory to
You forever.
Monday ARE YOU BURNING UP?

see? What is the "work" You do?' " -John 6:30

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
"WE MUST DO BETTER"
We are all called to go further. We can and we must do better for the helpless. We must move to
concrete action, so that the scourge of hunger disappears completely.
WE CAN DO IT
We do indeed have the adequate means and framework so that beautiful words and good wishes may become
an action plan of substance that leads effectively to the eradication of hunger in our world. To this
end we need joint efforts, upright hearts, and persistent concern to firmly and resolutely make the
other's problems one's own.
"LACK OF POLITICAL WILL"
There is a fundamental lack of political will. What is needed is the willingness to end hunger, and
this ultimately will not happen without a moral conviction that is shared by all peoples and all
religious persuasions, where the integral good of the person is at the heart of all initiatives and
consists in "doing to another what we would want done to ourselves."
