3 READINGS FOR THE WEEK Why can t I chew gum or have drinks/food in church? A church building is a special place calling for special behavior. While the church is our home and we should feel comfortable there indeed, the church is a gathering place for the Church, the people of God, it doesn t mean that anything goes. Your actions in church show respect for God and for the community that gathers there. If you are stopping by the church to pray, even just for a moment, your actions should respect the place and its purpose. So, spit out your gum, turn off your cell phone, get rid of the drinks, check that you re appropriately dressed and make the most of the precious opportunity to step away from the ordinary and into a sacred space and time. If you are in the church for mass and you wish to go to communion, remember that Catholics are required to fast for one hour before receiving the Eucharist. The Eucharist is real food, but it is not ordinary food, and thus we don t mix it in with bites of our ordinary food and drink. Snacking or chewing gum distracts us from the sacred fast that prepares us to receive the Body of Christ. So there s one more reason to lose the gum. Taken in part from internet website NKale Monday: Acts 6:8-15; Ps 119:23-24, 26-27, 29-30; Jn 6:22-29 Tuesday: Acts 7:51 8:1a; Ps 31:3cd-4, 6, 7b, 8a, 17, 21ab; Jn 6:30-35 Wednesday: Acts 8:1b-8; Ps 66:1-3a, 4-7a; Jn 6:35-40 Thursday: Acts 8:26-40; Ps 66:8-9, 16-17, 20; Jn 6:44-51 Friday: Acts 9:1-20; Ps 117:1bc, 2; Jn 6:52-59 Saturday: Acts 9:31-42; Ps 116:12-17; Jn 6:60-69 Sunday: Acts 4:8-12; Ps 118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28, 29; 1 Jn 3:1-2; Jn 10:11-18 BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST Throughout the Easter season, all three of the Sunday readings are taken from the New Testament the Christian scriptures. Together they explore what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the One who fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish scriptures. Today s selections refer to our human weakness, yet they emphasize the forgiveness and peace that are available to those who put their faith in Jesus Christ the righteous one (1 John 2:2). In the Acts of the Apostles Peter invites everyone to repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away (Acts 3:19). The First Letter of John calls Jesus Christ expiation for our sins (1 John 2:2). Finally, in the Gospel Jesus greets the disciples with Peace and urges them to preach repentance, for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:47). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

The Diaconate Program is an Appeal funded ministry and it is with your faithful support that our deacons are welleducated, faithfully obedient, and spiritually-filled to guide our brothers and sisters, families, children, and friends to Christ. Our Deacons serve lovingly alongside our pastors to provide the sacraments of our faith in our communities. There are more than 300 deacons in our archdiocese and many are beneficiaries of those who have previously given to the annual Archbishop s Appeal. Because of their generous donations, these deacons are now serving in parishes throughout our archdiocese. Today, I stand before you asking your prayerful consideration to renew or make a first time gift to the 2018 Archbishop s Appeal. Your gift will support men in their journey to be properly formed in the theology of our faith to serve Christ and His people here in our archdiocese.
