TODAY'S GOSPEL
May 16, 2021
Gospel: John 17:11
Jesus prays for His disciples at the Last Supper. He knows that by knowing the word of God as they do, they no longer belong to the world. He asks that God consecrate them in truth and protect them from the enemies they have made because of their belief in Jesus.
3 MINUTE RETREAT ~ MAKING ROOM FOR GOD!
MARY BRINGS US TO THE HEART OF HER SON
Jesus so loved His mother that His last thoughts on the Cross were of her. He gave her to us as our own mother, and wants us to honor her. “Since Mary is rightly to be regarded as the way by which we are led to Christ, the person who encounters Mary cannot help but encounter Christ likewise” (Mense Maio, Blessed Pope Paul VI). For her “yes.” Without fully understanding what God intended, she unhesitatingly agreed to become His mother.
Her “yes” made it possible for God to become human and be crucified for our salvation. Following her example means saying “yes” to whatever God asks. For her sacrifice. Wouldn’t you be forever grateful to someone who gave up her child so that you and your loved ones might live? Mary loved her amazing child and she experienced unspeakable heartache as He was sacrificed for us. Praying the Rosary regularly reminds us of the life of Jesus and the desire of His Mother to bring us close to his heart.
MAY BAPTISM CLASS IS MAY 24th
May's Baptism Class will be held on Monday, May 24th at 7:30 - 8:30 pm in the Lower Church Hall.
Parents are required to attend this class.
ROLE MODELS FOR CHILDREN
Children learn by imitation, which makes it wise for parents to be aware of the role models our children choose. Today’s choices can be actors, rock stars, or athletes who may not have the most admirable qualities. It is important to offer a variety of role models to help shape how children behave in school, with friends, or at home.
- Choose for inspiration. Children see in heroes what they want to see in themselves, namely the ability to overcome weaknesses, fear or insecurity, and to be brave, courageous and kind. Parents can help youngsters identify inspiring role models from history, literature, family, or our faith who can offer examples of virtue and strength.
- Who are your heroes? Talk about who you looked up to growing up. Was it St. Maximilian Kolbe, Michael Jordan or Anne Frank or Aaron Judge? Sharing your childhood heroes gives you a chance to discuss how to choose role models.
- Draw comparisons. When your child does something kind or generous - “You were giving like St. Nicholas.” Or, when she tells a difficult truth - “You were honest like Abraham Lincoln.”
- Encourage analysis. If you aren’t crazy about your child’s choice of hero, remind him that everyone has good and bad qualities. Ask what he thinks of the role model’s bad behavior and give examples of more positive ways to behave.

GOD IS OUR STRENGTH
Life can be exhausting and we can become overwhelmed by what it takes to be good. It is important to remember that we don’t struggle alone. “If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave Him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?” (Romans 8:31-32).
