In today’s first reading the early Christians are described as having “no needy person Sunday 04-15-2012 Special Collection for Catholic Home among them” (Acts 4:34).

The ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT after 7:00 am MASS until 12:00 Noon and 5:00-7:00 pm cure for compassion fatigue is to commit ourselves to serve in any way we can. Thou- sands of people today are serving, caring for, and comforting “the needy among Friday 04-20-2012 SACRED HEART NOVENA PRAYERS before the them.” Natural disasters, economic downturns, and personal suffering are inevitable. 12:15 pm Mass
