Airline Hwy, Gonzales Cost: $65/couple Witness by David and Kate Dawson Limited to 150 couples. A Vocation View It s a simple concept: love God with your whole being and put that love into practice. How is God calling you to love? Have you considered the way of loving called priesthood or religious life? If God may be selecting you for the special life of priest or religious, call or Fr. Matt Dupre at , mdupre@diobr.org or visit Who are the least in our world today? One can put forward many worthy candidates: fatherless children, the elderly, the infirm, the immigrant and the poor. Of course we should help all of these people. But it s hard to be less than a child so young he is unable even to cry. The unborn have no ability to plead their own case. No leverage with which to protect themselves. If their natural parents choose to abort them, they have no recourse, and nowhere to run. They are literally voiceless and defenseless. So the pro-life movement seeks to befriend these friendless people. Whether or not one takes the Bible to be the Word of God, I think all pro-lifers are moved by this insight: that we have the responsibility to protect those who are most singularly incapable of protecting themselves. That s why we go on marching, year after year and decade after decade. That s why we chisel away at the network of laws designed to protect adult lifestyles and convenience at the expense of innocent lives. That s why young people today are more pro-life than their parents were 20 years ago. Please welcome these children to St. Mark Parish through the sacrament of Baptism. Let us pray for their continued spiritual growth.

Twelve Biblical Reasons For Wanting To Spend One Hour With Jesus In The Blessed Sacrament 1. He is really there! "I myself am the living bread come down from heaven." (Jn 6:35) 2.

"Behold I will be with you always even to the end of the world," because "I have loved you with an everlasting love, and constant is my affection for you." (Mt 28:20; Jer 31:3) 3.

5 Twelve Biblical Reasons For Wanting To Spend One Hour With Jesus In The Blessed Sacrament 1. He is really there! "I myself am the living bread come down from heaven." (Jn 6:35) 2. Day and night Jesus dwells in the Blessed Sacrament because of his Infinite love for you! "Behold I will be with you always even to the end of the world," because "I have loved you with an everlasting love, and constant is my affection for you." (Mt 28:20; Jer 31:3) 3. The specific way that Jesus asks you to love him in return is to spend one quiet hour with him in the Blessed Sacrament. "Where your treasure is, there is your heart..." "Could you not watch one hour with me?" (Mt 6:21; 26:40) 4. When you look upon the Sacred Host, you look upon Jesus, the Son of God. "Indeed, this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks upon the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life. Him I will raise up on the last day." (Jn 6:40) 5. Each moment that you spend in His Eucharistic Presence will increase his divine life within you and deepen your personal relationship and friendship with him. "I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly." "I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him shall bear much fruit because without me, you can do nothing." (Jn 15:5) 6. Each hour you spend with Jesus will deepen his divine peace in your heart. "Come to me all of you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you..." "Cast all of you anxieties upon the one who cares for you..." "My Peace is My Gift to you." (Mt 11:28; Pt 5:7; Jn 14:17) 7. Jesus will give you all the graces you need to be happy! "The Lamb on the throne will shepherd them. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water." (Rev 7:17) 8. Jesus is infinitely deserving of our unceasing thanksgiving and adoration for all he has done for our salvation. "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise." (Rev. 5:12) 9. For peace in our country! "When my people humble themselves and seek my presence... I will revive their land." (2Chr 7:14) 10. Each hour you spend with Jesus on earth will leave your soul everlastingly more beautiful and glorious in heaven! "They who humble themselves shall be exalted..." "All of us, gazing on the Lord s glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed from glory to glory into his very image." (Lk 18:14; 2Cor 3:18) 11. Jesus will bless you, your family and the whole world for this hour of faith you spend with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. "Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe..." "Faith can move mountains..." " What is needed is trust... " "Behold I come to make all things new." (Jn 20:29; Mk 11:23; Mk 5:36; Rev 21:5) 12. Each moment you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament brings joy, pleasure, and delight to his Sacred Heart! "My joy, my pleasure, my delight is to be with you." (Prov 8:31) We keep many weekly appointments on our work, personal and social calendars! Make a weekly appointment with our Lord and Savior and it will be an appointment that will change your life! It will be a gift to you, your family and our parish of St. Mark. There are many hours available. Please help us get to two adorers for every hour by calling the parish office and signing up to be an adorer. Ask for Robin if you have any questions. Trivia Fact: The Chapel of Adoration was open to adorers on March 28, 1993.

Gospel To be a neighbor, show love by treating others with mercy, as did the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).

6 First Reading Heed the voice of the LORD. It is something very near to you, already in your hearts; you only need to carry it out (Deuteronomy 30:10-14). Psalm Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live (Psalm 69) or Psalm 19. Second Reading All things were created through and for Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:15-20). Gospel To be a neighbor, show love by treating others with mercy, as did the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).

GO AND DO LIKEWISE Miss Collins, the dean of students at Olympic High School, was past the point of scolding Matt, though she liked him very much. Four detentions in two weeks are too many. Still Matt wouldn t tell. It was only after Miss Collins went on a morning neighborhood patrol that she found out the real reason for Matt s tardiness. Thump, thump, thump, came the wheelchair down the stairs. It was Matt, steadying Shawnetta as he helped lower her down the stairs and then push her to the corner bus stop. She s a girl in my parish youth group, Matt explained to Miss Collins. There are many ways to describe Matt s actions a random act of kindness, making a difference one person at a time. Jesus would understand. When the lawyer correctly identified the good Samaritan as the one who had treated the injured man with compassion, Jesus said simply, Go and do likewise (Luke 10:37).
