A true conversation that might have happened:

Rrrrrinnnngggg!!! Rrrrrinnnggg!

"Hullo?"
"Pat?"
"Yeah? Who’s this?"
"It’s Me, God. Howz it going?"
"Um...like, fine."
"Good. Actually, I knew that already, but I wanted to be courteous. Say, listen Pat, I need you to do a favor for me. Ya know this Fourth Sunday of Easter is "Good Shepherd Sunday?"
"Yeah . . ."
"Well, it’s also World Day of Prayer for Vocations. I need you to remind the people of St. Robert’s about that."
"Actually, I knew that already too, but I wanted to be respectful and listen to what you had to say."
"Ha, ha, very funny . . .not! But I’m glad you’re listening. That’s what I need everybody to do. Remind them to listen when I call."
"You’re not going to call during dinner, are you?"
"Welllll, only if someone else brings it up."

"You’d like that, wouldn’t you?"
"Heh, heh, heh . . . yeah. You’ve got the idea. Whoops! Sayyyy, look at the time! Either I’m living in eternity or my watch has stopped. You’d better write that letter. Talk to you soon, OK?"
"OK, God. Hey, thanks for the call!"
"You’re welcome."

A true vocation from God to any ministry, lifestyle, decision, or relationship will be confirmed in time by the Holy Spirit in your heart. But it frequently begins in an ordinary conversation or daily routine. Keep your heart open to God’s call which can come at any time and in any way.

WE URGE THOSE CATHOLIC OFFICIALS WHO CHOOSE TO DEPART FROM CHURCH TEACHING ON THE INVIOLABILITY OF HUMAN LIFE IN THEIR PUBLIC LIFE TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THEIR OWN SPIRITUAL WELL BEING, AS WELL AS THE SCANDAL THEY RISK BY LEADING OTHERS INTO SERIOUS SIN. (National Council of Catholic Bishops, "Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics")

    

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Following the 8:30 a.m. Mass on Sat. May 1st, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will be held until 10 :00 a.m. Jesus tells us: All you who are heavily burdened, come to Me and I will refresh you."

Bette St. Clair
Bunny Moniz
Helen Phipps
Tom & Marilyn Dachauer
Amparo Prieto
Larry & Laverne Buller
