Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, June 1, 2025

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (REVELATIONS 22:13) This is a reminder of how we should live our lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – putting God first in all that we do. Not only when I am at Mass and parish activities, but when I am in the world, at work, or at school. Living gratefully and generously is an intentional lifestyle. Every decision you make either moves you closer to God or farther away. Choose wisely!

[Jesus] said to them, “Thus it is written, that the messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24:46-48)

Ponder: Why am I afraid to share my faith with others?

Ponder: How do I show the world the glory of God's love?

Prayer: Risen Lord, you are the glory of unity, harmony, and everlasting peace. Help me to carry your love and compassion wherever I go.

Practice: Today I will stay mindful of God's presence in me and in all of my sisters and brothers.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa

May 30 – Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

May 31 – Every day is a preparation for death. By realizing this, it helps somehow, because we each have to die a little each day. Death is nothing except going back to Him, where He is and where we belong.

June 1 – One man told me: “I am an atheist,” but he spoke so beautifully about love. Mother told me: “You cannot be an atheist if you speak so beautifully about love.” Where there is love, there is God. God is love.

June 2 – If you are hungry to hear the voice of God, you will hear. To hear, you have to cut out all other things.

June 3 – Let us offer everything to Jesus-every sorrow, humiliation, discomfort. In this way, you too, can take your stand at the foot of the Cross with Mary, our Mother.

June 4 – Mary allowed God to take possession of her life by her purity, her humility, and her faithful love. She did it so beautifully. Let us seek to grow, under the guidance of our Heavenly Mother, in these three important interior attitudes of the soul that delight the heart of God and enable Him to unite Himself to us.

June 5 – The thirst of Jesus on the Cross is not imagination. “I thirst, “ He said. Hear Him saying it to you...and respond.
