Reflection from the Word
Reflection from the Word
Romans 5:12-15
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all people [no one being able to stop it or escape its power], because they all sinned. Sin was committed in the world before the Law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone when there is no law against it. Yet death ruled over mankind from Adam to Moses, the Lawgiver, even over those who had not sinned as Adam did. Adam is a type of Him (Christ) who was to come, but in reverse—Adam brought destruction, Christ brought salvation.
But the free gift of God is not like the trespass because the gift of grace overwhelms the fall of man. For if many died by one man’s trespass [Adam’s sin], much more abundantly did God’s grace and the gift that comes by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to benefit the many.

NOTICE OF TRANSFER
I would like to thank all of my wonderful Parishioners, Staff, Parish Council, Finance Council and all who made my ministry very fruitful here in the Parish. I would like to bring to your attention that I have been transferred to a different Parish to continue with my Pastoral assignments. I will be moving to my new Parish in the month of July. May the good Lord continue to bless, favour and keep all of us in His peace. Amen.
Thanks everyone.

This Prayer has been forwarded to us by a Development & Peace committee member and we ask you to pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine:
Our Father
Our Father who art in the life of all humans who seek justice because they love their brothers and sisters and because they are your servants.
Hallowed be thy name by all those who stand up for the life of the poor and the humble, who have faith and hope in you, who fight for the respect of their dignity.
Thy kingdom come, thy reign which is freedom and love, brotherhood and justice, right and truth.
Thy will be done, you who are freedom for the prisoners, appeasement for the afflicted, strength for the tortured, liberation and life for those who suffer from violence.
Give us this day our daily bread, the bread of equality and joy, the bread of our word and education, the bread of land and shelter, the bread of food and medical assistance.
Forgive us for not knowing how to share the bread that you give us, forgive our lack of faith and courage, when out of fear, we keep silent.
And lead us not into temptation that makes us conform to the powerful of this world, and that makes us believe that we are powerless to change anything.
But deliver us from the evil within ourselves who invites us to keep our life for ourselves when you invite us to give it. Amen
- Julia Esquivel, Guatemala
Spiritual Act of Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you
were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen
