Ps 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4 Jn 14:7-14 For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain Fifth Sunday of Easter the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the Acts 6:1-7 cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19 wipe away their tears and help them to trust. 1 Pt 2:4-9 In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in Jn 14:1-12 the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts. We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen. by Archbishop Jose H Gomez

St. James, Mason, Michigan Page 4 Sts. Cornelius & Cyprian, Bunker Hill St. James, Mason, Michigan Page 5 Sts. Cornelius & Cyprian, Bunker Hill LIVE THE LITURGY Inspiration for the week When you wake up in the morning, whose voice is the first one you listen to? Your own? Someone else’s? or God? We will listen to someone and follow some sort of guidelines and principles. If it is a secular voice that propels us to get up in the morning and take up the task of the day’s agenda, then we may find ourselves off track. The advice found in the Acts of the Apostles was as true then as it is now, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” most of what we listen to in secular voices is off the axis of truth and distorted. It may sound attractive, but it is deceptive at best. Many have going astray like sheep and need to return to the Good Shepherd. Only Jesus can offer us the gate of life, and only Jesus as the Good Shepherd can really motivate us to take on the challenges of life. If we don’t recognize his voice we can risk facing destruction.
