A Message From Father Aaron

Dear Friends,

Today's Gospel from the 5th week of Lent

speaks about the healing power of Jesus for the

man who was crippled and had waited for healing

for many years. It is another example of God's

mighty power to overcome human weakness and

displays his love for his people. In the same way

Jesus has the power to forgive sins.

With a word Jesus commands the man to "rise,

pick up his mat go home." God's Word is power

and salvation. An irony here is that this man had

waited for decades for what Jesus did in just a

moment. However, even though this man waited

his whole life for this moment, he never gave up.

He was persistent in coming to the healing waters,

time after time, year after year.

During these very difficult days for all of us, it

is important to remember that God is present to

us and is hearing our prayers, especially when we

are suffering. It is important for us to remember

the virtue of persistence, believing that God will

come to the rescue of his faithful people and allow

them to rise from this time of trial to graces. God

is not the author of evil or suffering but has, time

and time again, throughout salvation history,

brought good out of evil and suffering when the

faithful placed their trust in him alone. "All things

work for the good for those who love him." We

must persist in our prayers, penances and works

of mercy. We must keep hope that God is faithful.

When we persist in coming to the healing waters

of Jesus' mercy, we will rise in Easter joy!

My brothers and sisters, may we all find new

persistence and a new life in Christ!

God bless you,

Father Aaron

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the

Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I

desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally, come at

least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were

already there and unite myself

wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated

from You.

Amen.

adoration hours. There are extra graces that come with the sacrifice of

making an overnight hour in prayer! Please prayerfully considered taking

this hour. Call Heidi at 250-1091 if interested.

THANK YOU! The Faith Formation office wants to send a HUGE thank

you to our community for continuous support with our efforts to teach

the coming generations our religion and share our faith journey. We want

to especially thank the continued efforts made by two organizations who

always hold our office and our youth close to their hearts, the Knights

of Columbus and the Catholic Order of Foresters. Both of these

organizations support our Religious Ed program and ensure we always

have what we need. Thank you for putting on breakfasts, fundraisers

and always supporting our efforts. Thank you for always creating a

welcoming atmosphere at your events and reminding us that we are all

in this faith journey together. We would like to especially thank the

Knights for hosting the breakfast last month and the Foresters for their

donation last fall. THANK YOU!!

is born in prayer and only through prayer does it

preserve and bear fruit. We ask you to stir the

hearts of all those who You call to the Priesthood

in giving everything to Jesus. Send Your Holy Spirit

upon Assumption and St. Anthony parishes as we

pray for Holy Priests and Women Religious to lead

and guide us in our faith lives. Please bless Father

Aaron as he guides us to holiness and faithfulness.
