FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

PRAISE BE TO JESUS CHRIST Father Vic is now offering Mass online on Facebook every Sunday at 10:00am.

Enter www.pocoparishes.org, our webpage, and find the Facebook icon, click on that and it will take you to a live feed that also repeats as needed.

Another way would be on your Facebook page to go to the search icon, a magnifying glass and enter pocoparishes. That should also take you to the live feed.

You can also click the “follow” button on your phone or by clicking on the 3 dots to follow.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” (1 Peter 4:10)

Remember prayer time in the morning to set the right priorities. A little walk in the

evening or even midday will ward off

those urges for sweets and is a great time for a

daily rosary

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 into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You.

Amen.

PEND OREILLE PARISHES

DEVOTION TO MARY

The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception are a Congregation of nearly 500 priests and brothers in 20 countries around the world who seek to lead souls to Jesus through Mary.

Unfortunately, after the Second Vatican Council, devotion to Mary waned. Fortunately, through the efforts of people like St. Pope John Paul II, devotion to Our Blessed Mother is making a fast and fruitful comeback.

Of course, the Marians have been overjoyed to participate in this renewal in a number of ways. For instance, thanks to the preaching of charismatic Marians like Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, and Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, tens of thousands of people all over the world have rediscovered the powerful and loving intercession of Our Blessed Mother, Mary.

Also, through our publishing apostolate, millions of Marian books and pamphlets go out to the faithful every year, with Marian Helpers assisting in the distribution.

More recently, the Marians have helped spark one of the largest promotional efforts for Marian Consecration ever through 33 Days to Morning Glory, by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC. Through this initiative, more than a million people have consecrated themselves to Jesus through Mary, the "crowning of Marian devotion."

That's not all. The Marians continue to nurture a love for Jesus through Mary through our Thirteenth of the Month Club.

"If we want to conquer sin and evil," says Fr. Calloway, "we must make a decision to live un-der the mantle of God's masterpiece: Mary Immaculate."

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we consecrate ourselves, in an act of total entrustment to the Lord.

By You we will be led to Christ. By Him and with Him we will be led to the Father. We will walk in the light of faith, and we will do everything so that the world may believe that Jesus Christ

is the One sent by the Father. With Him we wish to carry His Love and Salvation to the ends of the earth.

Under the protection of your Immaculate Heart, we will be one People with Christ. We will be witnesses of His Resurrection. By Him we will be led to the Father, for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity,

Whom we adore, praise and bless forever. Amen.

THIS MOTHER’S DAY, Sunday May 10, 2020 take some time and think about those mothers in the parish who might need a boost to their

morale. Call them, send a card, drop off some flowers, see if they need help getting groceries or ride to shop, offer to do something you would normally do for your own mother.
