LECTIO DIVINA REFLECTION— ORDER OF CARMALITES
To those who had the courage to believe in the Good News and who are baptized, Jesus promises the following signs: they will cast out devils, they will speak new languages, they will pick up snakes in their hands and be unharmed if they drink deadly poison, and they will lay their hands on the sick who will recover. This happens even today. To cast out devils is to fight against the force of evil which destroys life. The life of many people improves because they entered into the communi-ty and have begun to live the Good News of the presence of God in their life. - to speak new languages: it means to begin to communicate with others in a new way. Sometimes we meet a person whom we have never seen before, and we care deeply for them and their situation, even though we don't know them well. This happens because we speak the same language, the language of love. - deadly poison will not harm them: there are many things that poison life together in community. There is gossip which destroys the relationship between persons. The one who lives in the presence of God does not participate in these things and is able to not be disturbed by this terrible poison. - they cure the sick. Wherever there is a clear and lively knowledge of God’s presence, there is also a special care given to the excluded and marginalized, especially the sick. What can help cure is that the person feels accepted and loved.

A BLESSED MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL OUR MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS
Mother’s Day celebrates the love that gave us life and the life that taught us how to love. Today we honour and pray for our mothers and grandmothers, living and de-ceased, and for all who radiate a mother’s love in our lives. We thank them for their unconditional love, the sacrifices they’ve made for us and the values they have taught us.
A MOTHER’S DAY BLESSING
Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children,
so you watch over your Church. Bless these women,
that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always
with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
Thanks to the Hospitality Team for the sumptuous Mother’s Day Breakfast.

PRAYING THE ROSARY– MAY, MONTH OF MARY
Praying the rosary together, as a family, is very beautiful and a source of great strength! And also praying for one another! The husband for his wife, the wife for her husband, both together for their children, the children for their grandparents….. praying for each other. This is what it means to pray in the family and it is what makes the family strong. Prayer. (Pope Francis)
PLENARY COUNCIL
What are some of the Objectives of the Plenary Council?
These are hard times for the Church but also exciting times. The Plenary Council is an opportunity for all Catholics to embark on a journey. In essence it is a journey of hope. At its heart is the invitation to listen. Pope Francis has presented the universal Church with a new vision to be a listening Church. We are being called to listen:
to the voice of God and discover where God is present;
to women in the Church (The Church hasn’t done this well in the past);
to young voices and encourage and nurture a life-giving presence of the young in the life of the Church;
to those no longer active in the practice of their faith;
to and engage with those who are not Catholic and with other faith traditions;
to secular society.
Attentive and respectful listening is the catalyst for an openness to new ways of living our faith in the modern world and meeting the challenges that confront us.
