4TH Sunday of easter

May 12, 2019 Volume 3, Issue # 23

Pastor Father Victor Ray

When it comes to the Catholic Church, where we find His Voice, some of the shepherds

have misused their position among the flock and have hurt them. Let us be careful though

not to confuse the misleading voice of a few "wolves in sheep's clothing" for the larger

Good voice of the whole.

Today we must show to the those inside and outside of the Church that the Church is

still Good, that Jesus Christ is her Head and Shepherd and through the Church continues

and expands his ministry of healing and forgiveness to all of mankind for all generations…

That the Church is still True, it still loves, still brings the satisfaction of every deepest

human longing. That through the sacraments of the Church we may still partake of the

very Divine Life of God and are sustained by his own Precious Body and Blood. That the

Church still suffers with us, prays with us, rejoices with us, worships with us, lives with

us and is with us when we die, "wiping away every tear from our eyes." To do my own

part in restoring this voice where it has fallen short. To do my own part in assisting Jesus

in saving the lost sheep and calling them home.

"My dear friends, at this moment I can only say: pray for me, that I may learn to love

the Lord more and more. Pray for me, that I may learn to love His flock more and

more, in other words, you, the holy Church, each one of you and all of you together.

Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves. Let us pray for one another,

that the Lord will carry us and that we will learn to carry one another."

Together, we can cooperate with the Good Shepherd to help move the Church forward

in truth, honesty, and virtue. Together, we can remain strong so the one lost sheep might

find a faithful fold in which to be refreshed and restored in times of despair. Together, we

can work and pray for peace and unity that can only come from Jesus Christ, the Good

Shepherd.

The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa

Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your

spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only

be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in

contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me

but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as

to be a light to others. Amen.

Because You Loved Me Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me, For all the truth that you made me see For all the joy you brought to my life, For all the wrong that you made right For every dream you made come true, For all the love I found in you I'll be forever thankful baby, You're the one who held me up Never let me fall, You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, You gave me faith 'cause you believed I'm everything I am, Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly, You touched my hand I could touch the sky I lost my faith, you gave it back to me, You said no star was out of reach You stood by me and I stood tall, I had your love I had it all I'm grateful for each day you gave me, Maybe I don't know that much But I know this much is true, I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, You gave me faith 'cause you believed I'm everything I am, Because you loved me

You were always there for me, The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life, You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth, My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, You gave me faith 'cause you believed I'm everything I am, Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see, You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, You gave me faith 'cause you believed I'm everything I am, Because you loved me

I'm everything I am Because you loved me
