“I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.” – John 10:14-16
When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you? How do you listen for His response? Usually, the answer is in “quiet whispers”, so take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His response. Our Prayers and congratulations to the children receiving their First Communion.
Mallory Carbaugh Ethan Delia Mason Dugan Sydnee Madden Lord Jesus, Bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time. May this day be an initial step into a life-long love of the Eucharist. Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to you for comfort, guidance and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship. Thank you for their innocence and goodness. May their hands, extended in anticipation of Your Body and Blood, inspire all of us to cherish this sacred Sacrament. Amen Congratulations to our young people who we are sending forth
to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

In today’s gospel, the Risen One appears with the greeting, “Peace be with you!” The Easter Jesus eats with the disciples in the upper room. At the funeral Mass, the community turns for spiritual nourishment to the table of the Eucharist. When a brother or sister dies, we gather to be nourished with the Bread of Life. In partaking of the body of Christ, all are given a foretaste of eternal life in the risen Lord. The priest with the community offers to the Father the sacrifice of the New Covenant and shares in the one bread and the one cup.
