GET REAL!
Those of us who flatter ourselves that we have a “realistic” view of the world may listen to the first reading today and say, “Get real!” when we hear Luke’s account of the early, Elysian days of the Christian movement. All seems to be rosy, lots of wonders are performed, everyone shares selflessly, they eat together in “exultation,” and the Lord added to their numbers? Well, who wouldn’t be attracted to a group like this? From the wind that swept through the upper room at Pentecost as the Spirit of God blew over the face of the waters in Genesis, and the fire that ap-peared over each disciple as the light appeared at the dawn of creation, Luke’s intent in Acts is to show a new creation, a restoration of creation’s original goodness through the working of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who continues to make us into the Body of Christ. We may occasion-ally, like Thomas in the Gospel, say, “Get real!” but our ultimate reality in the Spirit is to work continually to make our Christian community a new creation, one in which others will find God’s joy and beauty.

AUDIO DAILY READINGS
Visit: www.ourcatholicfaith.org/readings to hear the daily readings.
The Administrator's Desk Though we are physically separated at this time we al-ways remain united as members of the Body of Christ. We are united to Jesus and to one another.
As our civil leaders begin to decide how and when to open our social and economic life to greater freedom, let us all pray that the Wisdom of God may guide them in their deliberations. Pray too, for Cardinal DiNardo and Bishop Sheltz and their advisers as they discern the best way to reopen our churches to public worship.
********************
Livestreaming of Daily Mass I am livestreaming daily Mass from Holy Family, Monday-Friday at 8 AM over Facebook Live at "Holy Family-Church Baytown." I will also livestream Mass at 5 PM Saturday and Sunday at 10 AM. I encourage you as a family or as an indi-vidual to set aside one of these times to gather together and pray, by responding to the invocations at Mass and the gen-eral prayers we normally do, and to receive the Lord spiritu-ally in Holy Communion.
******************
Church Envelopes As I'm sure all of you are aware, just as you have expenses at home, so we have them here at the parish. We need your fi-nancial support. Please mail-in your gifts, drop-them-off in the box at the new rectory, arrange for a payment through your bank, go to our website www.holyfamilycatholicchurchmcnairtx.org for online giv-ing, or contact me and I will visit you to pick-up your dona-tion. May God bless you for your generosity!

CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL
April 25-26, 2020 Next week, we are asked to contribute to the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. Today, over 40% of dioceses in the United States are considered mission territories because they are una-ble to fund the essential pastoral work their communities need. Your support of this appeal helps ease the struggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/home-missions.

And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. Please keep the Ledet family in your prayers.
A PRAYER FOR 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 in 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. ************************************

Who lives and reigns world without end. Amen.
