PRAYER FOR MOTHERS Heavenly Father,
from the beginning you have chosen to entrust the human person to mothers in a special way.
We thank and praise you for the gift of mothers; for their tenderness, care, and compassion,
for their intuition and encouragement, for commitment and sacrifice.
Bless all mothers this day. Keep, strengthen, and refresh them
in your loving care. May they be blessed by our open-hearted
love and gratitude. Amen.

SAY A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR OUR DECEASED PRIESTS
SEEKING OUR BLESSED MOTHER’S PROTECTION & INTERCESSION: We began this month of May with the U.S. Bishops consecrating our nation to the Blessed Mother under her title “Mother of the Church”. Fr. Paul and I followed that up by conducting May Crownings at our parishes on Sunday and consecrating them to Our Lady Star of the Sea and Our Lady of the Rosary. I encourage you to bring your concerns and intentions to Our Lady as we continue to find our way forward during these trying times. “Blessed Mother, keep us under the protection of your mantle and close to your Son Jesus!”

Prayer During A Health Crisis: Compassionate and Loving Father, In the face of confusion and concern impart to us the calm of your pres-ence. In You allow us to find hope and healing.

Wrap your arms around our world and hold us in your love. Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet. We ask this in Your Name. Amen.

Cycles of Faith
5th Sunday of Easter
When earthly lives end, especially when the person is younger, we tend to focus upon and consider what was lost. We think of lost opportunities — things they won’t be able to see, babies they won’t be able to cradle, and adventures that now must go undiscovered. Our minds create this chasm be-tween earth and heaven that sees the losses of this life as permanent ones, never possible to achieve again. This perception causes many folks to remain stuck in their grief as they ponder all of the missed opportunities and regrets. This is not resurrection thinking. All of the love that we can give and receive, the joy and elation that can be experienced, the adventures that can be under-taken, and the possibilities to be discovered are all part of a continuous journey. They are not ends in and of themselves but are all part of the unfolding of a relationship we have with God, who not only makes all of these wonderful things possible now but sustains them and fulfills them into eternity. The perception and experience of loss is really an illu-sion, because in God’s eternal kingdom and in God’s time, nothing is ever lost. Even the most intimate and tender of moments we can conceive of sharing with another human being are only part of a journey toward perfect intimate and tender moments to be shared with God in our resurrected life. We become like God and see God as He is in eternity. What greater joy, love, and hope can ever be discovered as we walk down our often dimly lit paths in this world. This is an awesome wonder and magnificent news to behold. Call to mind someone you have lost in death. How do you see them now? How do you see yourself in heaven? Remind yourself, again, that God is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Our happi-ness is not going to be fully realized in this world, and there is nothing we can find here that cannot be found one hundred fold in eternity. It’s all about relationship, and not solely about the relationships we have with each other, ourselves, and the world in which we live. It’s about our relationship with God. If we realize how special that one relationship really is, then there is only one particular of heaven and life eternal that really matters: namely, that we fall into love eternal and discover truth. For when we finally close our eyes in death, then all will be well as long as we are with God. There are no losses, only gains. © Liturgical Publications Inc.
