Third Sunday of easter

1 Third Sunday of easter April 15, 2018 Volume 2, Issue #19 Celebrants: Father Victor Ray Associates: Father Martin deporres Father Robin Whitlock Wisdom From Father Victor Ray Evangelization is fundamental to Christianity. No one is called to be a Christian for himself or herself. We are called to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to others. Every Sunday we come to Mass. We receive the great gift of God s grace in the Word and in the Sacrament. And then we are commissioned at every Mass to take what we have received and to bring it out to the world. If we are not going to take Christ from here, then why did we come here? Go in peace glorifying the Lord with your life. Go, and announce the Gospel of the Lord. Go and proclaim to the world that Jesus lives. Father Victor Ray Today s Mass is being offered for Des Lennon on the First Anniversary of his death

2 The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

4 This Weeks Chuckle OUR NEW ADVERTISING SLOGAN Jesus Christ has never denied anyone in the participation of the Seven Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick. If you believe this statement to be true, then Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community is the Church for you, Our mentor, Mother Teresa of Calcutta and We at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community have one thing in common, our LOVE for our fellow being is a lesson learned from Jesus Christ. *********************************************************************************************** NOTE TO THE CONGREGATION To ensure that our mission here at Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community grow and survive, we need to adhere to our advertising slogan. It is time to let go of the past and start listening to the message that Jesus and Father Victor preach every Sunday about LOVE. Alienating individuals from Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic GATHERING Community does not support our mission to help those who really need our LOVE and ASSISTANCE. REMEMBER: I KNOW THERE WILL BE A DAY OF PEACE. FOR THIS, LET US ALL WORK AND PRAY.

5 GATHERING

6 Reading 1 ACTS 3:13-15, Peter said to the people: "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in Pilate's presence when he had decided to release him. You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses. Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did; but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer. Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away." Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church Thanks be to God Responsorial Psalm PSALM 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9 R. Lord, let your face shine on us. When I call, answer me, O my just God, you who relieve me when I am in distress; have pity on me, and hear my prayer! R. Lord, let your face shine on us. Know that the LORD does wonders for his faithful one; the LORD will hear me when I call upon him. R. Lord, let your face shine on us. O LORD, let the light of your countenance shine upon us! You put gladness into my heart. R. Lord, let your face shine on us. As soon as I lie down, I fall peacefully asleep, for you alone, O LORD, bring security to my dwelling. R. Lord, let your face shine on us..

7 Reading 2 1 JOHN 2:1-5A My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world. The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments. Those who say, "I know him," but do not keep his commandments are liars, and the truth is not in them. But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church Thanks be to God SING RIGHT AWAY Alleluia LUKE 24:32 R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Lord Jesus, open the Scriptures to us; make our hearts burn while you speak to us. R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

8 Gospel LUKE 24:35-48 The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread. While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then he said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have." And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them. He said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." This is the Gospel of the Lord Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ Question of the Week: How can I be a witness? How do I explain what the presence of Jesus in my life means?
