SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER

They were hiding in the upper room for fear of those who had killed Jesus. The Disciples were paralyzed with fear and hiding in the dark. Fear and darkness keep us from seeing things as they really are. Such is the case of a woman contemplating aborting her child. She’s paralyzed with fear and sees nothing ahead but darkness. But then Jesus walks into the room, as if out of nowhere, and says, "Peace be with you." It is our job as followers of the Lord to walk into every room where the powers of darkness seek to prey on the fearful and speak Christ’s words: "Peace be with you." For once that peace rests in the heart of every mother, no child will ever be endangered again.

First Holy Communion will take place during the 10:00 a.m. Mass this morning. Please continue to pray for these new seeds of our faith who will be the future leaders of our parish.

Quilts are still needed for the Bingo. Each family is asked to donate one quilt. If you are unable to quilt, you can call Ruth Basler (358-2775) and she will be able to direct you to someone who for a reasonable cost can supply you with a handmade quilt.

During this Easter season we are reminded of the mystery of our Baptism. In this new life in Christ we discover the dignity, greatness and value of each person.

There is no question about it, our Church is under attack; the spiritual enemy has found a human weakness and is doing everything possible to weaken the Church. The noble majority is being tainted by the sins of the few. Please pray daily for all our priests.

Lord Jesus, you have chosen your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim your word and to act in your name. For so great a gift to your Church, we give you praise and thanksgiving. We ask you to fill them with the fire of your love, that their ministry may reveal your presence in the Church. Since they are earthen vessels, we pray that your power shine through their weakness. In their afflictions, let them never be crushed; in their doubts, never despair; in temptation, never be destroyed; in persecution, never abandoned. Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of your dying and rising. In times of weakness send them your Spirit, and help them to praise your heavenly Father. By the same Holy Spirit, put your word on their lips and your love in their hearts, to bring good news to the poor and healing to the broken hearted. And may the gift of Mary, your Mother, be your gift to every priest. Grant that she, who formed you in her human image, may form them in your
