Live the Liturgy If you really want to get to know someone, invite them to dinner. Sharing a meal

with someone opens up the door to a deeper, more intimate, and more authentic

encounter. When we gather around a table, we are more vulnerable and are reminded not

only of our need for food and sustenance, but also the love of friends and community. We

are meant to be together. Meals can be opportunities not only for authentic meetings, but

for healing relationships, for understanding one another better, and for renewal. Jesus

invites us to dine with Him once again at today's Eucharist. He receives our pain and

blesses our wounds. We are forgiven, set straight, renewed, and reconfirmed in our task

of discipleship. Love is celebrated here again. May we bring that love to those who need

it most, especially those we may find difficult to love and to those who have hurt us.

Share with them the bread of compassion and the wine of mercy.

May Devotions During May we have an

opportunity to thank Mary,

Mother of God, for all the

blessings and favors that we

received from God through Her

intercessions. The 5:30 p.m.

Mass, Tuesday through Thurs-

day and 6:00 p.m. on Friday in

May is celebrated, followed by the Expo-

sition of the Blessed Sacrament and sing-

ing of the Litany to the Blessed Mother. Please join us.

First Communion is not only the introduction of a child into fuller community participation;

it is also a reminder to adults of their own faith commitment.

At Baptism the parents of these children committed to raising them in the faith

so that now we can welcome them to our Eucharistic Table. Please join us in praying

for them and their families as they continue their journey of faith.

Third Sunday of Easter It is the most profound, beautiful and most

deeply personal question we can ever ask or be asked

by anyone: ‘Do you love Me?’ Peter is asked this very

question by Jesus three times. Peter had run from the

Cross and had denied Jesus three times. Cursing and

swearing he cried, ”I tell you I do not know Him”.

And then the cock crowed. Now, here to prick his

conscience at early morni ng by the fire – with bread

and fish, with a miraculous draught, and asking for His love three times, Jesus

reminds Peter all that He has done for him and implicitly forgives him by

commissioning him to go forth and feed the lambs. Peter has to be fed by Christ by love and prayer first.

Jesus is telling Peter that out of love for him He must hand over his fate to

the Lord in His service. John was writing this account after Peter had died a

martyr’s death in Rome by crucifixion. Jesus sees the potential in all of us too

to do great things for Him and out of love for Him in the Church and in the

world as His witnesses, but we all have to come to that point where we have to

answer the question for ourselves – the leap, as it were, to an adult faith, by

answering the question Jesus asks of Peter today and which is extended to all of

us - you and me - ‘Do YOU love Me?’

Jedzenie dla Potrzebujących W tym Wielkanocnycm czasie zwracamy się do wszystkich

o pomoc dla tych którzy są w potrzebie. Przy wejściach do

kościoła są pudła na ten cel abyśmy mogli podzielić się z

potrzebującymi.

Why Do We Do That? - Catholic Life Explained

Question:

How do I bring God into the work of my daily life?

Answer:

Whatever your daily work, you have an opportunity to encounter

God and to follow His commandments in love. In the New

Testament, we see that most of the Apostles didn't have a

previous religious position. They were fishermen, tax collectors,

and political activists. St. Paul was a tentmaker. Among the

saints, we have doctors, lawyers, farmers, and stay-at-home

moms. No matter your daily tasks, God can be present there!

One way concerns behavior. Start with an examination of conscience. Look at areas where you tend to struggle to imitate

Christ at work. Do you gossip? Does brimming frustration

become impatience at home? Pick one sin you struggle with, then

choose a virtue to strengthen that area. If you tend to speak

poorly of your co-workers, resolve to stop and to say one kind

thing a day instead.

Another way relates to perspective, particularly your

perspective of others. Jesus' incarnation reminds us of the value

of every human being. Jesus is God, and each of us is created in

God's image. When you encounter another person, you have an

opportunity to see God in a new place and a new way - in that person in front of you. Genuinely listen to them and be present to

their concerns. Loving your neighbor is loving God! Our

relationship with God and the love He inspires in our hearts

shouldn't remain only at church on Sunday. We can - and should

- let our faith animate our lives! Nabożeństwa Majowe Tradycyjnie jak każdego roku w naszym Kościele odbywają

się nabożeństwa Majowe od wtorku do czwartku o godzinie 5:30

p.m. a w piątek o 6:00 p.m. Mszą świętą, a po Mszy świętej

będzie wystawienie Najświętszego Sakramentu i śpiewanie

Litanii do Matki Bożej. Zapraszamy do udzialu w tym pięknym

nabożeństwie.

Trzecia Niedziela Wielkanocna W dzisiejszej Ewangelii Chrystus zadaje trzykrotnie pytanie

św. Piotrowi, czy Go kocha. W rzeczywistości Chrystus pyta o to

kaźdego z nas. Cięźko jest odpowiedzieć na to pytanie. Jeśli się

kocha, to zazwyczaj jakąś konkretną osobę, którą widzimy.

Trudno jest kochać Boga, ktorego się nie widzi. Są ludzie, którzy

uważają że kochają Boga, ale swoich bliźni już nie. Św. Jan w

Pierwszym Liście zadał pytanie, jak moźna kochać Boga, którego

się nie widzi, a nie kochać bliźnich, których się widzi. Otóż

najlepiej można sprawdzić, czy kocha się Boga, poprzez relacji z

innymi ludźmi. W każdym więc razie tak jak traktujemy drugą

osobę, tak też odnosimy się do Chrystusa. „Byłem głodny, a daliście mi jeść, byłem spragniony, a daliście mi pić...”. „Czy

kochasz mnie?”... To pytanie powinno po dzisiejszej Mszy św.

rozbrzmiewać w sercu każdego wierzącego. I powinien on

również na nie odpowiedzieć. Jeśli odpowie pozytywnie, musi

sprawdzić, czy aby na pewno realizuje to w swoim życiu. Jeżeli

zaś negartywnie, powinien się zastanowić, co musi zrobić, by

Boga pokochać. Miłość bowiem do Boga przewyższać powinna

każdą miłość ziemską. Zostaliśmy przez Niego obdarowani tak

wielkim darem miłości, jakim była ofiara na krzyżu, że naszym

życiowym obowiązkiem jest starać sie to odwzajemnić.

Pope Francis Prayer Intentions

for the Month of May Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a

specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy

Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in

praying for this intention each month.

The Church in Africa, a Seed of Unity That the Church in Africa, through the commitment of its

members, may be the seed of unity among her peoples and a sign of hope for this continent.
