Wednesday, Apr 14, 2021EASTER WEEKDAY Let your life be your witness How do you live your faith? Some days may be harder than others, but rarely, if ever nowadays, will the effort to be a faithful follower of Jesus land someone in jail or cost them their life. Yet that was the fate of the early disciples who insisted on proclaiming the stories of Jesus’ life, death, and rising. There are 20thcentury martyrs as well (Blessed Stanley Rother, Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, the mar- tyrs of El Salvador among others), but faith calls all of us to kind- ness to all people, fairness in the face of injustice, trust in God’s promised Spirit, and a constant willingness to see the face of God in our neighbors. Do people recognize you as a follower of Jesus by the way you live? TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 5:1726; John 3:1621 (269). “The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people.” April 11, 2021 Faith Enrichment Divine Mercy Sunday

I have been on MUSC’s Kidney Transplant List since the inception of my illness, the list is long, and the criteria for a “perfect” kidney from a donor is often difficult to match. Here is where YOU may be able , with God’s Blessing, to offer to donate a kidney to me? This letter is to help get the word out to a wider audience of believers of my dilemma. I understand this is an extremely personal decision to make. My family and close friends have already offered or declined due to health issues of their own. Now I must reach out further on the chance that someone would be so inclined to assist me in my time of need? Feel free to contact MUSC Kidney Transplant Team for further information, or contact Marian Pavy, parishioner, at (843) 267 0601 to reach out to me. Thank you for your care, concern and blessings. Yours in Christ….Nerissa A. Richards April 11, 2021 Divine Mercy Sunday

Charles Pope, a popular D.C. priest, became a victim of the cancel movement after he led a religious procession to the Emancipation Memorial and read Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. He received so many online attacks, he had to shut down his accounts.

The group, which has lodged freedom of religion challenges nationwide, said that the council's policy for its opening prayer is discriminatory and unconstitutional because it does not permit prayer from every religious organization that wishes to deliver one. However, our laws do not require that Satanism be protected as a religion because it is, in fact, not a religion. It is irreligion or anti religion, meant to deny devotion to God. "Its goal is to produce a T cÜtçxÜ yÉÜ cÜxzÇtÇà `Éà{xÜá society where religion is no longer viewed as a duty or inalienable right.
