Bishop Vasquez’s Reflection Question

Gospel Meditation:

Like the disciples in today’s Gospel, we face adversity and

challenges that cause fear and anxiety. Jesus reveals himself

as Lord of creation. Like Peter, we are enthusiastic but eas-

ily distracted away from the Lord, causing us to sink into

the turmoil and struggles of life. “Lord, save me!” is our

simple and constant prayer. Where are we struggling? What

are our concerns? The Lord is beside us offering his

strength as we remain focused on him.

Liturgy of the Hours Liturgy of the Hours will now be prayed each morning in

the Ave Maria Chapel. On Wednesdays and Fridays, they

will be prayed before 7:00am Mass. On Mondays, Tues-

days, and Thursdays, they will be prayed at 7:00am in the

Chapel. Dary Santos will lead the prayers. Everyone is

welcome to come.

Eucharistic Adoration First Friday Eucharistic Adoration will not be held in

June, August or August. Next devotion is August 31st –

September 1st.

Weekly Friday Morning Adoration will stop May

19th and resume in September. Call – Bill Leek – 254-716-3416 to join our ministry.

First Friday Rosary We will be saying the Rosary as a community on First

Fridays for the deceased of our families, our parish, and

other intentions. All are invited to participate. Time is

11:30am. Mass follows in the Ave Maria Chapel at

12:15pm.

Eucharistic Ministers Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion may be desig-

nated to distribute Holy Communion at Mass or to bring

Communion to those confined to hospitals, institutions, or

their own homes. You must be E.I.M. compliant. To be

trained, call Peggy Cunningham at 254-859-5685.
