From the Pastor:

My dear friends in Christ,

What a comfort knowing our voice is known and listened to by our Good Shepherd. Our worship and fellowship has come to a screeching halt. In these weeks of isolation, the better question may be how well we know our Shepherd’s voice. Hopefully we have found avenues to redirect our talents for the good of our community. We need to stay within the flock and be good followers. As we have heard over the past weeks, “we are all in this together.” No matter where our Shepherd takes us, we should not be afraid to follow. The terrain has been very rough, but as promised, greener pastures will follow. We need to let these trying times renew our spirits to follow and lead with compassion and goodness.

Easter envelopes continue to trickle in and I am ever so grateful for those of you who continue to send in your weekly envelopes as well. Even though we are not together, we still have bills to pay for the daily expenses of our parish. And even though we are not equipped with Wifi in the Church to do a livestream, I hope you are attentive to the weekly reflections/homily that we provide. I would like to thank Ron Maniglia for his efforts in making that happen each week.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and that your Mass intentions are being offered each day as I celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

May God bless you all,

Father John

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.

MASS RESERVATIONS / SANCTUARY LAMP Although our Parish Office is closed, following state and diocesan guidelines on social distancing, you may always make reservations for a Mass or for the Sanctuary Lamp by calling the Rectory Office at 609.877.5322. We will be happy to assist you.

May 3, 2020 The Fourth Sunday of Easter Page Three

A Prayer to

Our Lady

of Good Health

Our Lady of Good Health, our Merciful Father chose you to be a powerful intercessor in times of trouble and woe.

As in past centuries when you have ended contagious diseases, we implore you now to end this Coronavirus which is damaging the health of many and spreading fear in our homes and communities.

Teach us not to be afraid, but to be courageous and generous in offering assistance to others, and to live joyfully in the state of grace.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

FROM THE DIOCESE ... As we close the Easter Season, we reflect on the need for spirituality. Social distancing makes it even more difficult to maintain the spirituality of our parishioners, but we know that everyone is doing their part. Let’s not allow this virus to distract us from the profound meaning of Easter. As Bishop O’Connell said during the season, “let our voices sing louder than ever before!”

Throughout the Diocese voices are loud! We continue to pray that this pandemic causes only temporary financial challenges to all our parishes, the Chancery, the Annual Catholic Appeal and diocesan ministries. The Chancery staff along with our own Corpus Christi Parish staff are showing commitment to our parishes by taking voluntary salary reductions and are happy to do so in this current climate. However, our availability and services to you will go uninterrupted during this time so please call or e-mail us as needed. We are here for you! So our anthem continues …

Stay safe! Be well! God bless!

WE MISS YOU!

A REMINDER REGARDING MASS INTENTIONS … During This Time of Mass Suspension

Although Masses are suspended, the intentions for Masses you have reserved will continue to be listed in our weekly bulletin and will be offered and celebrated privately by Father John. Although you cannot physically be here to attend the Mass, you can attend spiritually knowing that your intentions are being honored. Since we are not in Church at this time to announce our dear parishioners who have passed away during this time, please pray for the souls of those listed here:

Ann Holmes Mary Migaleddi George DeRosa

Catherine Bienick Marie Horn

Joseph Radecki Sheila Dusenbury

May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
