GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY
“ Whoever enters through the gate
is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him,
and the sheep
hear his voice, as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and
leads them out.
When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and
the sheep
follow him, because they recognize his voice.”
— Luke 24:30-31

Senior Parochial Vicar for St. Matthias Parish
Anniversary Congratulations
During the month of
May—the month of
Mary—we feel a special
protection of Our Lady
that extends to all the
faithful; we feel a special
joy that shines and illu-
minates our hearts ex-
pressing the universal
certainty of Catholics
that the indispensable
patronage of our heavenly mother becomes even more ten-
der, more loving and more full of visible mercy and exorable
condescendence during her month of May.
Even after the month of May passes, a remnant of this re-
mains if we have profited from those thirty-one days espe-
cially consecrated to Our Lady. We are left with an in-
creased devotion, a keener confidence and, so to speak,
such an increased intimacy with Our Lady that in all the vi-
cissitudes of life we will know how to petition her with re-
spectful insistence, hope in her with invincible confidence
and thank her with humble tenderness for all the good she
does us. Our Lady is the Queen of Heaven and Earth and,
at the same time, our mother.
We enter the month of May with this conviction, and it be-
comes more deeply rooted in us when we leave it, strength-
ening our faith and increasing our fortitude. May teaches us
to love Mary Most Holy for the glory she rightly possesses
and for all that she represents in the plans of Divine
Provi-
dence. It also teaches us to be more constant in our filial
union with Mary.

http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/prayers-and
-devotions/rosaries/how-to-pray-the-rosary.cfm.
Please, seriously consider praying the rosary on a
daily basis for WORLD PEACE, that is desperately
needed. The Rosary is our greatest weapon we hold
in our hands!
