4 PAGE FOUR APRIL 29, 2018 The Holy Father speaks Jesus is the grain of wheat sowed by God in the furrows of the earth which, by the power of His love humbles itself and gives itself to the very end, and thus truly renews the world. It is a power that still bears fruit even though the world bears so many furrows of violence and injustice. That fruit is hope, for we Christians believe and know that Christ s resurrection is the true hope of the world. Ways to Discern My Vocation 1. Prayer Prayer is a conversation with God not just saying prayers, but speaking to the Lord from your heart. Ask Him to reveal His plan for you: Jesus, I want to want what you want. Here I am Lord; I come to do your will. Trust that God has a plan for you. "REGINA PACIS VOLUN TEENS" This group is lead by Msgr. Marino and Fr. Nicholas. We meet every two weeks on Sunday after the 12 noon Mass in the Conference Center. The next meeting is May 6. To join simply send an to Msgr. Marino at ronaldmarino1234@gmail.com or Father Nicholas at fr.nicholasapollonio@gmail.com. It should contain your name, address, cell # and address. JOIN THE FUN!!! ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL It's that time again when we do our part in supporting the needs of the Diocese through this annual appeal.

Once we achieve this goal, anything over it returns to the parish for our needs. This week we are asked to make our pledges for this year. Special envelopes will be provided on which you can make your pledge. Please be as generous as your means allow. We thank all who have already participated with a gift to the 2018 Annual Appeal.

7 PAGE SEVEN APRIL 29, 2018 SAINT FEAST DAYS THIS WEEK SAINT JOSEPH, THE WORKER MAY 1 There is very little about the life of Joseph in Scripture but still, we know that he was the chaste husband of Mary, the foster father of Jesus, a carpenter and a man who was not wealthy. We also know that he came from the royal lineage of King David. We can see from his actions in scripture that Joseph was a compassionate man, and obedient to the will of God. He also loved Mary and Jesus and wanted to protect and provide for them. SAINT JAMES, THE APOSTLE MAY 3 St. James the Less, a brother of the Apostle Jude, was of Cana of Galilee. He is the author of one of the Catholic Epistles in the New Testament. He was favored by an appearance of the Risen Christ (I Cor. 15:7). After the dispersion of the Apostles he was made Bishop of Jerusalem. He was visited by St. Paul (Gal. 1:19). He spoke after Peter at the meeting of the Apostles (Acts 15:13) SAINT PHILIP, THE APOSTLE MAY 3 The Apostle Philip was one of Christ's first disciples, called soon after his Master's baptism in the Jordan. The fourth Gospel gives the following detail: "The next day Jesus was about to leave for Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him: Follow Me. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him: We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote, Jesus the Son of Joseph of Nazareth. And Nathanael said to him: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see" (John 1:43ff).
