EASTER WEEKDAY
Keeping the peace
In 1972, Pope Saint Paul VI declared, “If you want peace, work for justice.” Today we observe the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. The U.N. deploys peacekeepers around the world to provide "a unique and dynamic instrument . . . to help countries torn by conflict to create the conditions for lasting peace.” The work of Catholic social justice organizations like Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Worker, and Cross Catholic Outreach go a step further by “tending the sheep” of the poor, the oppressed, the refugee, the dispossessed. Do your part today to support the social outreach of your church.
TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 25:13b-21; John 21:15-19 “Tend my sheep.”

NOVENA FOR PENTECOST DAY 8
WE PRAY FOR GENTLENESS
Send us your Spirit
I suspect that gentleness is often considered to be a form of weakness. But true gentleness is profoundly courageous. It's the kind that can hold the suffering heart of another with tenderness and compassion and stands contrary to many of society's values. In the gospels, we see Jesus over and over again treat people with an extraordinary gentleness.
We pray for gentleness
Four suggested steps:
Place yourself in the presence of God.
Close your eyes. Take some slow, deep breaths. Imagine that you are enveloped by the unconditional love of God.
Ask for the grace you desire today.
Pray that the Holy Spirit may inspire you with a gentleness that is not meek, but rather that gentleness which can hold the suffering heart of another with tenderness and compassion.
Spend time in prayer and with the song.
Pray as you feel drawn, either sitting in silence or listening to the song. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Distractions are normal for all of us. God smiles on our small efforts without judgement or shame.
Pray in gratitude.
In your own words, express a simple prayer of thanks to Go.

Our hearts are carrying so much these days. May we heed young Jacks advice in the last photo and live with valor.
NOVENA FOR PENTECOST- DAY 7
WE PRAY FOR FAITHFULNESS
It seems to me that a truly faithful person is one who stands firmly in God's corner and isn't swayed by the winds of time. To be faithful requires a certain degree of detachment because sometimes we're asked to give up our own plans, our own security, to follow faithfully on the path where God leads.
We pray for faithfulness

Close your eyes. Take some slow, deep breaths. Imagine that you are enveloped by the unconditional love of God.
Ask for the grace you desire today.
Pray that the Holy Spirit may help you grow in the virtue of faithfulness, to stand firm in your desire for God and not be swayed by the winds of time or become discouraged.
