†  Friday, May 2nd: First Friday Devotions to make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Mass will be at 6 pm followed by Holy Hour and Simple Benediction. “Can you not watch one hour with Me?”

​

†  Easter Duty:

  • Confession: All the faithful who have reached the use of their reason must sincerely confess their sins at least once a year (C.906). One’s obligation is not fulfilled by a sacrilegious confession (C. 907).

  • Easter Communion: All the faithful who have attained the use of their reason must receive Holy Communion at least once during the Easter season. The obligation is not satisfied by a sacrilegious Communion (C.861). If someone has not made his Easter duty for a long time, and this be publicly known, he is thereby a public sinner who loses his right to ecclesiastical burial. (C.1240).

 

†  Please keep in your prayers the sick and those who Father goes to see: Jackie Kroger, Connie Sellers, Hope Wright.

​
†  14 DAY SANCTUARY LAMP: is burning for the weeks of (4/20 to 5/3) for the INTENTIONS of Ann Williamitis.  If you would like to donate to light the 14 day sanctuary candle for your intention, please let Father know. The donation for each candle is $25 (candles generally last 14 days, but sometimes they burn faster than expected).

Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Fifth Lesson: On Our First Parents and the Fall
Question: Did God give any command to Adam and Eve?
Answer: To try their obedience, God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat of a certain fruit which grew in the garden of Paradise.

The Bunch of Grapes: It is related of St. Macarius, one of the Fathers of the desert, received as a present a beautiful bunch of grapes. Though he longed to taste them, he, to exercise himself in self-denial and obedience to his rule, resolved not to do so, but sent them with his compliments to a neighboring hermit. He, inspired with the same holy motives, sent them to a third; the third to a fourth, and so on until finally the grapes, having passed through most of the cells in the desert, came back to St. Macarius practically untouched. The latter, on receiving them and on learning after inquiry through whose hands they had passed, gave thanks to God that in the world should be found so many faithful sons of Adam and Eve to make reparation for their parents’ transgression.

Question: Which were the chief blessings intended for Adam and Eve had they remained faithful to God?

Answer: The chief blessings intended for Adam and Eve, had they remained faithful to God, were a constant state of happiness in this life and everlasting glory in the next. 

Happiness on Earth and in Heaven: When St. Bernard and four of his brothers had determined to leave the world and devote themselves to the religious life, they paid a visit to Fontaines to ask their father’s blessing. On bidding farewell to their home and family, one of them said to their young brother, Nivard: “Good-bye, Nivard; you are now heir to all our father’s possessions, and will enjoy the pleasures of wealth and honorable station.” “Ah, yes!” Replied Nivard, “you take heaven and leave me earth; the shares are not equal, and I will not be satisfied with mine.” And, in fact, when he had grown to man’s estate, and his father had no longer need of his services, Nivard, too, entered the convent.
