Sixth Sunday in Easter
Reading I
Acts 8: 5-8, 14-17
Peter and John laid hands on them,
and they received the Holy Spirit.
Reflection: From our understanding of the
early Christian community, their life
flourished with the gifts of Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was known by the laying
on of hands. It is a gesture we use in
celebrating the sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation, Ordination and Anointing
of the Sick. We too know the power of the
Holy Spirit in our lives. Do I live with the
Spirit of God in me?
Psalm 66
Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
[Alleluia]
Reading II 1 Peter 3: 15-18
PARISH MISSION STATEMENT: The very heart of St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Church is Jesus Christ present on the
altar. Our mission, born at that altar, is to be sent forth into our neighborhood in order to
build up the Kingdom of God. The labor of this effort must address in deed more than in
word the needs of our people.
Put to death in the flesh, Christ
was raised to life in the Spirit.
Reflection: If Jesus Christ is the Lord of our
hearts, we live with great hope. Living with
Jesus overcomes the trials and tribulations of
this world. His way is not shameful, but a
way to holiness. Do I live in His way as a
follower of Jesus?
Gospel
John 14: 15-21
I will ask the Father and
He will give you another Advocate.
Reflection: In this discourse from John’s
Gospel, Jesus does not desire his followers to
feel alone. He does not leave us ‘orphans’
but the Holy Spirit speaks and acts on our
behalf. The Spirit unites us to live in faith,
even when we are socially distancing. Do I
live in the Love of Jesus with others?
Archbishop Carlson has resumed public Masses in
the Archdiocese of St. Louis beginning May 18.
St. Matthew Parish will announce our date for
resuming public Masses with new safety
requirements and protocol during the weeks ahead.

Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds, hide me.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked enemy defend me.
At the hour of my death call me,
bid me come to your side, that with your
saints I may praise you forever and ever.
Amen

public Masses on Monday, May 18, at the
discretion of each individual parish pastor.
The Bishops of Missouri established common
practices for the celebration of Mass. As we
continue our efforts to protect one another
from the serious effects of the coronavirus:
Dispensation of the obligation to attend
Sunday Mass continues until further notice.
Symptomatic parishioners or those exposed
to another with the virus should not come to
Church.
Appropriate cleaning, sanitizing and hygiene
before and after each Mass is necessary.
+ Archbishop Carlson
Our Parish Staff and the members of the
Spiritual Life and Worship Commission
will evaluate the guidelines and safety
requirements before creating our parish
protocol for Mass. We will announce in the
weeks ahead when Mass can resume and
include the necessary safety protocol.
