May 3rd Fourth Sunday of Easter
Jesus, You are the way, the truth, and the life.
You are always calling us to an intimate relationship with You.
Lord, help us to understand Your love, and love You in return.
Jesus, grace us to desire to come and worship You in Your eucharistic presence, help us to commit to
adoring You every week, and give us the peace of heart that only Your presence gives us.
Lord, let us slowly come into a metanouia of heart, that will cause us to be seen as truly your vessels
of love, and faith, and hope.
Help us all in these troubling times to be beacons of love and trust in You.
Jesus guard, guide, and protect us, and our families.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday THE GREATEST EVENT OF YOUR LIFE
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-5-3-en
"You must reform and be baptized." -Acts 2:38
Peter, on whom "tongues as of fire" had just descended (see Acts 2:3), preached at the first Christian
Pentecost. In the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter witnessed for the crucified and risen Christ. Peter
invited the thousands of people who heard his message to receive the Holy Spirit by being baptized.
"Those who accepted his message were baptized; some three thousand were added that day" (Acts 2:41).
Philip was sent by the Holy Spirit to proclaim Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:29, 35). Then "Philip
went down into the water with the eunuch and baptized him" (Acts 8:38).
Peter was sent by the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:19) to the home of the centurion, Cornelius. Peter proclaimed
the forgiveness of sins through Jesus, the "Judge of the living and the dead" (Acts 10:42). Then "the Holy
Spirit descended upon all" (Acts 10:44). "Peter put the question at that point: 'What can stop these people
who have received the Holy Spirit, even as we have, from being baptized with water?' So he gave orders that
they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ" (Acts 10:46-48).
After the Lord freed Paul from prison through an earthquake, Paul and Silas prevented the Philippian jailer
from committing suicide. Then they went to the jailer's home and "proceeded to announce the word of God to
him and to everyone in his house. At that late hour of the night he took them in and...then he and his whole
household were baptized" (Acts 16:32, 33).
We began the Easter season by renewing our baptismal promises. What difference has that renewal made in our
lives? Baptism is the most important event of our lives. It is our entry in the life of Jesus. Live your
Baptism fully.
Prayer: Father, may I live the "radical newness" of my Baptism (Lay Members of Christ's Faithful People,
Pope St. John Paul II, 10).
Promise: "I came that they might have life." -Jn 10:10
Praise: "He has been raised, exactly as He promised" (Mt 28:6).

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
https://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-11.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
DON'T BE INDIFFERENT
... These are some reflections I wish to share with those men and women who do not allow themselves to
succumb to indifference; who hear the cry of those who do not have the minimum needed to lead a dignified
life.
THE CHURCH AND THE POOR
For her part, the Catholic Church, in the exercise of the mission with which her divine Founder has
entrusted her, struggles daily throughout the world against hunger and malnutrition in multiple ways and
through her various structures and associations, remembering that those who suffer from misery are not
different from us. They share our flesh and blood. They deserve ... a friendly hand to help and support
them, in such a way that no one is left behind, so that in our world fraternal solidarity may boast its
own identity card and citizenship, beyond any flashy slogans void of substance.
"HOPES OF MILLIONS"
The annual celebration of World Food Day emphasizes ... the needs, yearnings and hopes of millions of
persons who lack bread each day. Increasingly, there are more people who sadly make up part of that great
number of human beings who have nothing, or almost nothing to eat. It should be the opposite and yet recent
statistics are a painful proof of how international solidarity appears to be cooling.
