Jubilee Year of Mercy
The seventh Spiritual Work of Mercy is “praying for
the living and the dead.” Prayer is one of the most
powerful ways we can support others. Joining together in prayer for the living and the dead entrusts us all
to God’s care.
Request a mass intention for a friend or family member who is going through a tough time.
Request a mass intention for a friend or family member who has passed away.
Keep your own book of prayer intentions, writing
down the names of those who you are keeping in
your prayers.
Ask a friend or family member if there is anything
you can pray for them about.
Through prayer, entrust your cares and concerns for
those around you to God.
El séptimo trabajo espiritual de la Merced está
"orando por los vivos y los muertos." La oración es
una de las maneras más poderosas que podemos apoyar a otros. Unirse en oración por los vivos y los
muertos nos confía al cuidado de Dios.

miembro de la familia que está pasando por un momento difícil.

Discussion Questions
Third Sunday of Easter
April 10, 2016
First Reading / Acts 5:27-32, 40b-41
1. The Sanhedrin says, “We gave you strict orders, did we
not, to stop teaching in that name.” Why the negative attitude and all the objections? How are you with interpretations
of God’s word that are different from your own?
2. The apostles rejoiced that they had been found worthy to
suffer dishonor. When you encounter suffering in your life is
there anything that helps you accept it? What would make a
person “embrace” suffering? Do you know anyone who suffers but also exudes a kind of spiritual joy?
Second Reading / Revelation 5:11-14
1. Why does John say that he heard every creature in the
universe cry these words, “To the one who sits on the throne
and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might,
forever and ever.” How does the environment “cry out” and
glorify God? How do birds and beasts? How do you?
2. The Israelites slaughtered and ate a lamb at the time of the
Passover, and were protected from harm by the lamb’s blood
on their doorposts. The mystery of divine love is that Christ,
the Lamb, was slain out of love for us. How are cross and
resurrection made one in the image of the Paschal Lamb? Is
this image a model for the Church?
Gospel / John 21:1-19 or 21:1-14
1. Jesus was on the shore. John and the other disciples were
in the fishing boat. Why do you think John recognized Jesus
before the others? Discuss. There are four stories in this Gospel: the appearance of Jesus to the disciples, the large catch
of fish, the meal, and Peter’s commissioning. Which do you
like to think about? Why?
2. Below, Pope Francis suggests that future Vatican diplomats cast their nets in a certain place. Where? And where do
you think “less obvious seas” are?
The Holy Father also asked that the future apostolic nuncios
not look for “fish in aquariums or farms,” but that they
“instead have the courage to leave behind the safe margins
of what is already known and to cast your nets and rods in
less obvious seas.”
We are looking for volunteers
to be trained as Hospitality
Ministers. This is an easy job,
but an important one, since you
will be greeting people as they
enter the Church, taking up the offering, distributing the bulletin. If you would like to become a
part of this ministry, please contact Linda
Gaines at 273-4103, or call the parish office at
670-0051.
DeColores . . .Have you ever
wondered what Cursillo is?
Come join our ULTREA persevere (to
persevere) to find out. All are welcome to come, Friday April 22, 2016
starting at 6:30pm with pot luck. Bring something
to share OR if you can’t make the POT LUCK come
join us at 7pm in the IMMACULATA SCHOOL GYM,
711 N.BUNCOMBE ST., HENDERSONVILLE, NC
28791.
Do you feel called to a deeper commitment to your
faith? Do you want to more fully understand the
mission you are called to through your Baptism?
Are you looking for a way to sustain your Christian
journey? Come join us, bring your spouse or a
friend and we can share together.
Questions, please call Dave at 828 808 3358.
