MASS INTENTIONS FOR THE WEEK

Peace and good! As we continue to celebrate the Marian month, I would invite you to join our parishioners praying the rosary daily here in the parish. The rosary is prayed and led by our parishioners after the 6:30 am Mass (Monday – Friday); before the 8:00 am Mass each weekday; and before the Sunday 8:30 am Mass. I also invite you to join our parishioners praying the Novena of the Miraculous Medal after the Saturday 8:00 am Mass. Saint Catherine Labouré offers us a method of prayer as we come before our Lord. She shares:

When I go to the Chapel, I place myself before the good God and I say to Him: ‘Lord, here I am, give me what you will.’ If He gives me something, I am very pleased, and I thank Him. If He gives me nothing, I still thank Him because I do not deserve anything. And then again, I tell Him all that passes through my mind; I recount my pains and my joys and … I listen. If you listen to Him, He will speak to you also, because with the good God it is necessary to speak and to listen. He will always speak to you if you go to Him simply and sincerely.

For further information on Saint Catherine Labouré and the devotion to the Miraculous Medal, please visit the Miraculous Medal web site: http://cammonline.org/. During this month of May, we offer our congratulations and blessings to our First Communicants! On May 11th our stu-dents from our Religious Education program and St. Joseph School (SJS) celebrated their First Holy Communion. On May 18th our students from our Spanish Religious Education pro-gram will celebrate their First Holy Communion. We are blessed to have these children joining with us at the Eucharistic Table. Let us continue to pray for each child as they continue their faith journey. I would like to thank the parents, the Reli-gious Education staff, catechists, SJS staff and faculty, and all those who prepared these children for this Sacrament. Your witness and example inspires these children and enriches their faith journey. Throughout this Marian month we reflect upon the role which Mary plays in salvation history. Her “yes” to God’s invitation forever changed the course of history. Mary offers us three es-sential pathways for living our faith:

• Mary shows us how to listen; • Mary shows us how God’s word must be shared with • others; and • Mary shows us how to live in God’s word.

As faithful Catholics we observe Mary’s month through many different devotions and traditions. Please join us in one or sev-eral of these devotions and traditions. In the peace of Francis of Assisi,
