Comments from Deacon Dale Brown During these Sundays of the Easter Season, the

Church takes us back to the Last Supper, giving us a

chance to dig deeper into its meaning. We can use

our imaginations to picture the scene. Jesus and the

Twelve are in the Upper Room, gathered for the

Passover. Jesus begins to tell them about His

coming sufferings. He tells them that He will be

leaving them to go back to the Father. We can

picture the Apostles frowning in confusion, and

maybe beginning to feel a creeping sadness. They

have staked their lives on Jesus! They have given up

everything to follow Him. And now He says that He

must go away from them, and that they cannot

follow where He is going? Jesus knows their hearts.

He knows their fears. Twice during the Discourse,

He tells them, "Do not let your hearts be troubled."

He only repeats it because He knows that their

hearts are truly troubled. And then He makes them a

promise. He says, "I will not leave you orphans; I

will come to you." He promises never to abandon

His chosen followers. The crucifixion will come, the

darkness, the suffering, the persecution, the apparent

failure and defeat. But through it all, the Apostles

can cling with firm faith to this promise: I will not

leave you orphans; I will never abandon you. Jesus

knows that our hearts too are often troubled. He

knows that we are filled with fear and confusion,

with regret and sorrow in the midst of our own

Good Fridays. And He makes the same promise to

us: I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

I will be with you. His Resurrection is the first and

definitive step in His fulfillment of this promise.

Jesus Christ is faithful. We can count on it. Are we

faithful? Now is the time to look deep into your

heart and ask that question of ourselves!

Prayer for Protection in Time of Pandemic

O Mary,

you always brighten our

path as a sign of salvation

& of hope. We entrust our-

selves to you, Health of the

Sick, who, at the Cross,

took part in Jesus’ pain

while remaining steadfast

in faith.

O loving Mother,

you know what we need,

and we are confident you

will provide for us as at

Cana in Galilee.

Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician,

for those who have fallen ill,

for those who are vulnerable,

and for those who have died.

Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health

and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick

and seeking a cure.

Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of

the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon

himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead

us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection.

Amen.

Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God.

In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always

from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Amen.

The Altar flowers are given

in loving memory of
