Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin
April 21, 2024
“I
am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed
my voice.” -John 10:14-16 When you pray, do you only
ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Jesus what He wants
from you? How do you listen for His response? Many times Jesus responds in
“quiet whispers” that are not so obvious. So, take time every day, in silence,
to actively listen for His voice.

Do
Something Beautiful for God – The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
April 19 – My
secret is very simple: I pray. Through prayer I become one in love with Christ.
I realize that praying to Him is loving him.
April 20 – Poverty
doesn’t only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous
hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be somebody for somebody else.
This is where we make our mistakes and shove people aside. Not only have we
denied the poor a piece of bread, but by thinking that they have no worth and
leaving them abandoned in the streets, we have denied them the human dignity
that is rightfully theirs as children of God.
April 21 – I
cannot forget my mother. She was usually very busy all day long. But when
sunset drew near, it was her custom to hurry with her tasks in order to be
ready to receive my father. At the time we did not understand, and we would
smile and even joke a little about it. Today I cannot help but call to mind the
great delicacy of love that she had for him. No matter what happened, she was
always prepared, with a smile on her lips, to welcome him.
April 22 – When
I was crossing into Gaza, I was asked at the checkpoint whether I was carrying
any weapons. I replied: Oh yes, my prayer book.
April 23 – I
take the Lord at His word. Faith is a gift from God. Without it there would be
no life. And our work, to be fruitful and beautiful, has to be built on faith.
Love and faith go together. They complete each other.
April 24 – Nothing
can make me holy except the presence of God, and to me, the presence of God is
fidelity to small things. Fidelity to small things will lead you to Jesus.
Infidelity to small things will lead you to sin.
April 25 – I
must give myself completely to Him. I must not attempt to control God’s
actions. I must not desire a clear perception of my advance along the road, nor
know precisely where I am on the way of holiness. I ask Him to make a saint of
me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of saintliness itself and still more the
choice of the means that lead to it.
