Evangelization
"Evangelization happens when the word of Jesus speaks to people's hearts and minds. Needing no trickery or manipulation, evangelization can happen only when people accept the Gospel freely, as the 'good news' it is meant to be, because of the power of the gospel message and the accompanying grace of God." (https://www.usccb.org/)
First Saturday Rosary
The First Saturday of the month Rosary will start at 4:00 PM allowing it to be finished before the 4:30 PM Mass and still have time for quiet, personal reflection. This will be an ongoing, monthly Rosary.
Power in Prayer
Let’s make time to speak personally to Jesus. Join fellow church members each Wednesday from the comfort of your home, workplace, etc., in spending 10 minutes in prayer anytime day or evening. Enlist your family, a friend, or perhaps you prefer a quite place to meditate. Prayers can be formal or not, including singing or reading scripture. You could offer your work, a kind act, or make a sacrifice as your prayer. We are called to be a holy people (set aside for sacred use). As we focus our mind and heart on Jesus, He transforms us, re-creating us into the ones He designed us to be.
April 21st’s Intention: Doing God’s Will
“Thy will be done.” (An often used prayer by St. Theresa of Calcutta)
Suggested Prayer: You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace.
Suggested Prayer: Lord, if what I seek is according to Your will let it be successful. If not, let it not happen. Do not leave me to my own
devises, keep me safe in your protection, and gently guide me as you know best.
Suggested Activity: Use any one of these prayers before making decisions.
