Prayer for the Week (April 28, 2024-May 4, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboLet us pray that all become one in Jesus, our true vine: Our living and loving God, you have made yourself close and dear to us in your Son Jesus Christ. Through him may we live your life, rich and generous and reaching out to others. May your Son draw all together so that all become branches on the same vine and that the new wine of justice and love fill all this earth with joy and peace. Amen.

/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboPrayer for the Week
Let us pray that Jesus be the shepherd of our lives: God our Father, by his own free will Jesus gave his life for us so that we might live and be saved. Give us the courage to
listen to his voice and follow him on the way to you. May we reflect the love he has shown us by caring for one another with the same self-forgetting kindness he has shown to us.
We ask you this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen.
Sunday Reflection (April 21, 2024)
/in From the Pastor/by Diane PalumboThe Holy Spirit guides us to lead others, yet how do we know we are in the truth, not in a romanticized sense, but in reality? It is to love in word and deed (1 John 3:17-18). Truth and action begin with those around us – family, friends, neighbors, co-workers. It starts with those around us who do not like us and those we do not particularly like.
Again, how do we know we are in the truth? This medieval monk from Britain guides us. “When we love our neighbors in deed and in truth, we assure our hearts in the light of the supreme truth. When we do works of godliness, it becomes apparent that we are of the truth, which is God, because we are copying his perfect love to the best of our ability (Venerable Bede).”
