Holy Father s Prayer Intentions for April Young People That young people may respond generously to their vocations and seriously consider offering themselves to God in the priesthood or consecrated life. April Devotion The month of April is dedicated both to devotion to the Eucharist and devotion to the Holy Spirit. This tradition has developed because Easter Sunday often falls in April, and when it does fall in March, the Easter season continues on through all of April. Dictionary of Catholic Terms: Holy Thursday: The day before Friday. On This day Catholics commemorate the supper Jesus held with his disciples on the night before he died. Friday: The day on which the crucifixion of Jesus is commemorated. Palm Sunday the Sunday before Easter, when the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is celebrated in many Christian churches by processions in which palm fronds are carried. Rosary Wednesday The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary. Saint Francis de Sales. Please join us every Wednesday at 6.30 pm for Rosary and Litany to our Blessed Lady followed by Mother of Perpetual help prayer and Mass at 7.00pm. Divine Mercy Sunday There will be a special divine Mercy Sunday Service on April 23 rd at 3:00 pm at St. Paul s Church. Please do come.

Spiritual Thought Week: You must ask God to give you power to fight against the sin of pride which is your greatest enemy the root of all that is evil, and the failure of all that is good. For God resists the proud. -St. Vincent de Paul Coffee and Gospel Reflection No Gospel reflection for Holy Week Saint's Corner: St. Martin I (April 13) A seventh century Pope, Martin was born in Todi, Italy. At the Lateran Council, Martin opposed the monothelite heresy, which held that Christ had only one will, the divine will, and not a human will as well. Since Emperor Constans II favored the heresy, Martin was exiled to Constantinople, where he was stripped of his honors and condemned to death. He later died in misery and hunger in the Crimea, the last pope to be martyred.
