Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, May 10,
2026
For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that be God's will, than for doing evil. 1 Peter
3:17. The old line says If you want to make go laugh, tell him your plans.
Many of us are diligent in our planning and making sure things are progressing
smoothly. Then disaster strikes, we don't get the result we anticipated or an
unforeseen problem arises. Many times we may respond negatively and ask, Why
me? I did everything right! Here's the thing-adversity humbles us and reminds
us of our dependence on God and not on our own self-reliance. Rest assured, God
has a better plan in store for you.

After this Paul left Athens and went to
Corinth. There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had
recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered
all Jews to leave Rome. (Acts 18:1-2)
Ponder: When
has suffering deepened my relationship with Jesus.
Prayer: Risen
Lord, you walk with me every step of my day. Help me to see you in all of my
sisters and brothers and to pledge my energy to the work of healing, peace, and
reconciliation.
Practice: Today
I will support an organization that finds homes for displaced persons and
refugees.

for the voice of the Holy Spirit. Through prayer, reflection, and discussion,
we will consider how God is calling us to be renewed to become a true center of
mission in our community. Meeting Goals:

Learn how to listen together to the Holy Spirit in discernment
Ensure every parishioner feels heard
Offer feedback on next steps for mission to the Diocesan Planning Commission
Your input matters. Parish leaders will
gather and share feedback from this time of prayer and discernment with the
Diocesan Planning Commission. This input will help shape recommendations to
Bishop Cozzens on how parishes and clusters might collaborate or make
structural changes to more fully live our shared mission. Come, pray, and help
shape the future of our parish together!
Do Something
Beautiful for God The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
May 8 Loving
trust is only the fruit of total surrender. You cannot have trust unless you
are one with the person. Total surrender and loving trust are twins.
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...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 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.
