A Reflective Prayer
" Lord how often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs
me? As often as seven times? Jesus answered, Not seven, I tell
you, but seventy-seven times."
Dear Lord in the course of my life, the question Peter asked
you is a question that is fore-most in my thoughts, as I come
to ask forgiveness for the people who have hurt me in my journey
of service for you. It is not easy at times to forgive because
of human nature, like the harsh servant in the gospel but with
your help Lord I pray that I may become a good, forgiving and
loving servant of yours with a heart that beats with love, compassion
and understanding for your people. With a heart like yours,
that even as you died upon the cross for me you forgave the
repentant thief. When my life comes to an end may I hear what
he heard on that First Good Friday.
This day you will be with me in Paradise.
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

Think About It
Don't let your parents down,
they brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders some day.
Chose your companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts, what you think
Is what you are.
Be master of your habits
or they will master you.
Pay attention when you drive,
Drive safely and arrive.
Resist pressure, stand up,
Or you'll fall for anything.
Keep God in your life,
He is always there for you.
Prayer
for Vocations
God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we
received in Baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves
in priesthood, religious life, and other forms of service. Give
the parents and families of our parish, the wisdom and courage
to support young people, in searching for and following the
call of God in their lives
