Holy Cross Parish Blood Drive Sunday, April 2, 2017 – 10AM-1PM
But, I’m too Scared! Most donors feel a tiny pinch and
actually enjoy giving blood.
I’m too busy! The entire process; check in, mini-exam and
donation usually takes about an hour.
I already gave this year. A whole blood donor can give every 56 days.
Platelet donors can give every 2 weeks.
I have a rare blood type so I’ll wait until it’s needed.
Rare blood is in short supply. We never know when it will be needed.
I don’t have anything to wear. We’ll give you a t-shirt!
No one ever asked. Someone needs blood every 2 seconds.
This is us… asking!!!

“We Are The Hands of Christ”
March 26, 2017: FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT
The future king, David, in today’s first reading, is an example of a type of character present throughout the Hebrew scriptures. He is the child born out of place (not the eldest or most favored) who ends up receiving the promise of the covenant. The spirit of God’s anointing rushes upon him. In this way, he is similar to the man born blind from today’s Gospel. David’s family and the blind man’s community did not expect the miraculous grace of God’s love to work through them. Perhaps they, too, were “blinded” by the expectations and assumptions of those around them. Yet, after being touched by God, they both came to “see” the
presence of God’s will for them. Both became messengers of God’s will. That same Spirit of God’s anointing rushed upon us at our baptism; we were given a candle as a sign of our membership in the Body of Christ, the Light from Light. Our vocation, then, is to fulfill that enlightenment, that anointing, as Ephesians tells us, by living as “children of the light.”
