Richelieu Circle, New Iberia 6:30 p.m. 7:45 p.m. Thursday s April 14 th, 21 st, 28 th, and May 5 th REFLECTIONS Third Sunday of Easter - There are times when we know we have really made a mess of things. We have done or not done something that we know was a very bad choice. It can be very easy to slide into depression and self-loathing and even despair. At these times, it is good to reflect on Peter s story. He denied Christ three times! But, look at how Christ treated him. He did not focus on Peter s failure, but on his strength. He asked Peter, Do you love me? In reaffirming his love for Christ, Peter was renewed and was able to continue his mission for Christ - Feed my sheep. The Lord asks us the same question - What will you answer? You changed my mourning into dancing; O Lord, my God, forever I will give you thanks. - Psalm 30:11-12 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.

One way that this appeal works to support home mission dioceses in the United States is by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, because educating each seminarian costs $35-40K per year. Your support is needed for these young men so that they might go back and serve their parishes. Please strengthen the Church at home by making a generous gift to next week s appeal. St. Joseph Abbey & Seminary College sustained flooding damage in the devastating floods in March. They do not have flood insurance. Please consider making a contribution. You can go to their website at to contribute online, or make a check payable to Food Relief Fund for St. Joseph Abbey & Seminary College and mail to Resource Bank, Attn: Private Banking, Hwy 21, Covington, LA Mass for Elderly Sunday, May 1, :00pm Time to honor all Senior Citizens with Bishop Douglas Deshotel Celebrating Mass Immaculata Chapel, 1408 Carmel Drive, Lafayette Reception immediately following in Marian Hall, provided by Ladies of Grace of the Knights of Peter Claver.

Gospel: John 21:1-19 Jesus stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. Theme: Jesus feeds us so that we can feed and serve others. CHILDREN: Jesus asks Peter three times if Peter loves Jesus. What one thing can you do this week to show Jesus your love? YOUTH: Jesus asked Peter three times to feed my sheep. Who are you being called to help in your life right now? ADULT: Christ continues to feed us as his disciples, even after his death and resurrection. How does the Eucharist feed your faith?
