Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, May 11, 2025

"The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit." (ACTS 13:52) The disciples heard Our Lord's call and were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. We, too, can experience that same joy if we make room for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. When we use our gifts in the way that God intends, He fills us with supernatural joy. A joy that others notice and are attracted to!

After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. (Revelation7:9)

Practice: Today I will reflect on the meaning and significance of the resurrection in my life.

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

May 9 – My Jesus, do with me as you wish, as long as you wish.

May 10 – See the humility of God. He made Himself the hungry one to satisfy our hunger...See the unity between prayer and wholehearted free service. We meet Jesus in the Bread of Life in the Eucharist and the Humanity of Christ in the distressing disguise of the poor. We are called to unite both of these...Prayer by itself-No! Work by itself-No! These two belong together.

May 11 – I remember when I was leaving home fifty years ago-my mother was dead set against me leaving home and becoming a sister. In the end when she realized that this was what God wanted from me, she said something very strange: "Put your hand in His hand and walk all alone with Him." I didn't understand it at the time, but this is life. We may be surrounded by many people, yet our vocation is really lived out alone with Jesus.

May 12 – For twenty years, I was at work in education at St. Mary's High School. I love teaching, and in Loreto I was the happiest nun in the world.

May 13 – Twenty years after I came to India, I actually decided upon this close contact with the poor. I felt that God wanted from me something more.

May 14 – Don't allow anything to interfere with your love for Jesus. You belong to Him. Nothing can separate you from Him. That one sentence is important to remember. He will be your joy, your strength. If you hold onto that sentence, temptations and difficulties will come, but nothing will break you. Remember, you have been created for great things.

May 15 – Don't search for Jesus in far lands-He is not there. He is close to you; He is with you. Just keep the lamp burning and you will; always see Him. Keep on filling the lamp with all these little drops of love, and you will see how sweet is the Lord you love.
