READINGS FOR THE WEEK Prayer to the Mother of the Lord for all mothers Mary, on this day when we honor all mothers, we turn to you. We thank the Lord whom you serve for the great gift of motherhood. Never has it been known that anyone who sought your intercession was left unaided by grace. Dear Mother, thank you for your "Yes" to the invitation of the angel which brought heaven to earth and changed human history. You opened yourself to God's word and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Dear mother, intercede for all of our mothers. Ask your Divine Son to give them the grace of surrendered love so that they could join with you in giving their own "Fiat." May they find daily strength to say yes to the call to the sacrificial love- the very heart of the vocation of motherhood. May their love and witness be a source of great inspiration for all of us called to follow your Son. On this Mothers day, Mother of the Word Incarnate, pray for us who have recourse to you.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen. Bar Code Thanks to Deacon George our Mission Church has a new way of sharing our history and mission. You will see in the front entrance and back a sign which has bar codes. All one has to do is to use a cell phone with a bar coder reader. Once it opens the tour begins. If you are interested you can download the bar code reader (free) on APPS. Thanks to Deacon George and his wife, Irene for all their work they did to create this window into our history. "Come Holy Spirit" Let us prepare ourselves for Pentecost this coming week. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts to continue to guide us and our Church. May the Holy Spirit be with you always!
