JESUS AS A ROLE MODEL IN SOCIETY: (The Beatitudes continued) “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” We tend to equate purity of heart with the virtue of chastity. But the pure in heart are not only the chaste; the pure in heart are also the single-minded. Jesus would not make a good investment advisor. The world says “Blessed are those who diversify their portfolios.” Jesus says “Blessed are those who seek only the kingdom of heaven.” Throughout His life, Jesus pursued single-mindedly the saving will of His Father.

May God continue to bless them with love and happiness. SACRAMENT OF THE SICK: On Friday, April 24 at 9:00 a.m. there will be a Mass with the Sacrament of the Sick.

Fr Bill, Deacon Gerry McMurray and St. Anne’s Staff wish you a very Happy Easter. May the peace and love of the Risen Christ be found in each and every heart.

EXPLANATION OF THE PARTS OF THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION A weekly continuation for your information LITURGY OF THE WORD Prayers of the Faithful: After hearing the word of God, being guided in the Homily and professing our faith, the community is moved to place their prayers and needs before the Lord. Usually there is a prayer for each of the following: the Church, world and local leaders, the parish, the theme of the readings or liturgical season, the sick, those who have died and personal needs. EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS/READERS SCHEDULES: The new schedules can be picked up in the Usher’s room at the front doors of the Church. DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY, APRIL 19 3:00 P.M. MASS AT ST ANNE’S CHURCH Pope John Paul II, moved by the consideration of the Father of Mercy, declared that the Second Sunday of Easter be dedicated to recalling with special devotion, gifts of grace and forgiveness and gave this Sunday the name, “Divine Mercy Sunday. Indeed, God’s great patience with the human race in general & with each individual person shines out in a special way when sins and moral failures are forgiven by Almighty God Himself and the guilty are readmitted in a father like way to His friendship, which they deservedly lost. Prayer: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against You. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. I have been weak and selfish. Your mercy knows no bounds and the treasure of your goodness is infinite. Please Father, forgive me REST IN PEACE: St Anne’s Parish family extends our prayers & sympathy to the families of: Gerald Leahy – husband of Theresa of this parish and brother of Sister Rosemary Leahy of Mount St Joseph Blanche Rosborough – mother of Bernice & Richard Cote of this parish.
