Bishop Vasquez’s Reflection Question

Gospel Meditation:

Today, Jesus asks us, “Who do you say that I am?”

Caesarea Philippi was named after Caesar who claimed the

title “Son of God.” Peter’s confession that Jesus is the

Christ (or Messiah), “the Son of the Living God” announces

that Jesus, not Caesar, is Son of God. It was presumed that

the Messiah was to remove Israel’s enemies and establish

God’s kingdom on earth. This is not Jesus’ goal, but the

world’s. It is here that Jesus begins his journey to Jerusalem

and the Passion. What worldly powers do I need to reject in

order to place complete confidence in Jesus?

Liturgy of the Hours Liturgy of the Hours will now be prayed each morning in

the Ave Maria Chapel. On Wednesdays and Fridays, they

will be prayed before 7:00am Mass. On Mondays, Tues-

days, and Thursdays, they will be prayed at 7:00am in the

Chapel. Dary Santos will lead the prayers. Everyone is

welcome to come.

Eucharistic Adoration First Friday Eucharistic Adoration will not be held in

June, August or August. Next devotion is August 31st –

September 1st.

Weekly Friday Morning Adoration will stop May

19th and resume in September. Call – Bill Leek – 254-716-3416 to join our ministry.

First Friday Rosary We will be saying the Rosary as a community on First

Fridays for the deceased of our families, our parish, and

other intentions. All are invited to participate. Time is

11:30am. Mass follows in the Ave Maria Chapel at

12:15pm.

Eucharistic Ministers Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may be desig-

nated to distribute Holy Communion at Mass or to bring

Trivia Corner

Why are two apostles called James the Greater and

James the Less? This was a way to distinguish the two

called James. It didn’t mean that one was better than the

other. The Greater was called to be an apostle first. The

Less means he was called to be an apostle after the other

James.
