St. Brigid’s Happenings

The Saint Brigid’s Prayer Tree is looking for volunteers

who would like to join their prayer ministry. The only

commitment is to have your name added to the tree and

agree to pass requests on when you receive them. This

usually means making only one phone call. The reward is

seeing first hand, how God answers prayers and how

prayers are indeed “felt” by those in need. If interested,

please call Grace Gallivan at 494-2492 or Cheri Sheridan

at 748-7248 or sign up at the back of church.

BOOK CLUB will not be meeting in the

month of April. We will be discussing our

April planned book at our May 28th get

together. Our April book choice is "She's

Come Undone" by Wally Lamb. Our May

discussion will focus, as well, on "The Inn

at Angel Island" by Thomas Kincaid.

Finally, we will finish reading and

discussing "Perfectly Yourself" by

Matthew Kelly (Sections 8, 9 and the Epilogue). Enjoy

lots of good reading, and we hope to see you on May

28th in our parish center at 6:30 pm.

The women who had come from Galilee with Jesus

took the spices they had prepared and went to the

tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the

tomb; but when they entered, they

did not find the body of the Lord

Jesus. - Lk 24:1b-3

Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass

©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD.

Faith Moment Reflection In today’s reading, St. Paul encourages us to think of what

is above; that is, eternal life, instead of being consumed by

the ways and concerns of this earthly life. His words pro-

vide wonderful guidance for us on how to live a purpose-

ful and happy life. St. Paul is challenging us to pursue

those things that are of lasting value, rather than the tem-

porary pleasures of the world around us. If you are finding

that your success in this world feels empty, that the

‘things’ you have acquired don’t bring the lasting happi-

ness you thought they would, then listen to St. Paul. His

message is one of hope that may just lead you to the true

happiness you are seeking. Hope and joy are what the

Easter message is all about. Dare to embrace the hope of-

fered by St. Paul’s words. It’s the way to a happier life

now, and a happier life to come. Today's Faith Moment was provided by Christ the King Seminary. You

can listen to Faith Moments on WBEN radio 930 AM, WLOF 101.7

FM, or at www.faithmomentsonline.org.
