      7th SUNDAY OF EASTER

      -C- May 12, 2013

      Acts 7: 55-60; Psalm 97; Revelation 22: 12-14, 16-17; John 17: 20-26

      From today’s Acts of the Apostles reading:

      As they were stoning Stephen, he called out,
      "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
      Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice,
      "Lord, do not hold this sin against them;"
      and when he said this, he fell asleep.

      Reflection:

      Following Jesus’ teaching and the example of our first martyr, will we commit ourselves to practice forgiveness in big and small ways each day? Will we pray for the very ones who have hurt us; or will we continue to clutch and refuse to let go of grudges, offenses and resentments?

      So we ask ourselves:

      • Who is the first person (s) who comes to mind when I think of Jesus’ teaching to forgive others?
      • In the light of St. Stephen’s example, am I also ready to forgive them?

      CONCEPT OF THE LOGO

      The logo is composed of a square, bordered field on which a boat, symbolizing the Church, is represented as sailing on a graphically minimal representation of waves. The main mast of the boat is a cross from which sails are displayed in the form of dynamic signs which compose the trigram of Christ (IHS). The background to the sails is a sun which, associated with the trigram, refers also to the Eucharist.

      Anointing of the Sick

      Every first Wednesday of the Month at the 8:15 am Mass. 

      Next annointing June 5, 2013.


      The sacraments of Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick are the two sacraments which heal and save the baptized person from sin. We also recall that a sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. The sign is the anointing of the forehead and palms of the hands with oil, which was blessed on Holy Thursday, specifically for this purpose. The grace comes in varied ways, spiritually and/or physically. The question arises, "Who should be anointed?" According to the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, we include those who are undergoing surgery, the dying, the seriously ill of any age, the elderly and those who have been anointed before if the condition worsens. The illness may be one of mind, body or soul. Therefore, the Sacrament of Anointing can be administered to those who suffer from chronic illness, those who are seriously ill, those about to have surgery, the seriously handicapped, or those whose health continues to decline.

      The Light Is On for You

      “The Light Is On for You” is an initiative to allow all Catholics to avail themselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confession is a wonderful opportunity to set aside our sinful ways and to draw closer to our Lord. Confessions will be held every Friday and Saturday during Lent.

       If you have been reluctant to come to the sacrament, have been away for some time, or just find it difficult to get to a Saturday afternoon confession time, this is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with Christ and his Church.   I am available for confession on Fridays from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

      Haven’t Been to Confession in a While?

      Interested, but worry you don't remember how to give a good confession?  No problem.  Simply pick up the Reconciliation brochure at the back of church for helpful "how-to" guidance.  Then, stop by for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and quiet prayer sometime this Lent.
