4 Together Let Us Cause God Joy Today is April 2, 2017 and the Fifth and final Sunday of Lent. The Responsorial Psalm is, With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. (Psalm 130:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8) Can you believe next week is Palm Sunday? Hope you have had a prayer-filled and reflective Lent. Just when you think you have it all figured out, life presents you with a new plan. It keeps things exciting and challenging. Especially if you're flexible enough to trust in new things and can share that with someone you love. Donna Kaufmann SIX UNDENIABLE FACTS OF LIFE 1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price. Also, educate them to be good happiness will follow. 2. Best wise words: Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food. 3. The one who truly loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he/ she will find one reason to hold on. 4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. 5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage! 6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but if you want to walk far, walk together. SIX BEST DOCTORS IN THE WORLD 1. Sunlight 2. Rest 3. Exercise 4. Diet 5. Self Confidence 6. Friends And finally: The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts. The safest place to be is in someone's prayers. And the very best place to be is in the Hands of God. Unknown Serving Him Together, Barb A. Miss Me But Let Me Go In Loving Memory of Arthur Banet, Sr. 4 Today s Readings First Reading Thus says the LORD GOD: I will open your graves, have you rise from them, and settle you on your land. (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Psalm With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption (Psalm 130). Second Reading If Christ is in you, the spirit is alive even if the body is dead because of sin (Romans 8:8-11). Gospel Lazarus, dead for four days, came out of his tomb when Jesus called his name. Many of those who had seen what had happened began to believe in Jesus (John 11:1-45 [3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45]).

It helps to become involved with others who have experienced something similar. Sharing eases loneliness and allows an expression of grief in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding. Grief is a testament to the person who has left us. Love does not end, so we feel the loss for years to come. Coffee & Comfort is a place to share stories, to confide in others who truly understand, and to discover hope and healing. We meet on the first Monday of every month.
