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)
Ponder: What
is my vision of life?

Lord, your resurrection gives me hope and the promise of a new life. Open my
heart to embrace and share your vision of love and peace with all people.

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.
