Spiritually Adopt a Baby MONTH ONE—“MY HEART IS BEATING!”
Your spiritually adopted baby has been quite active over the past month. Already your baby is 10,000 times bigger than at conception. Your baby has developed the foundations of his brain, spinal cord, and nervous system by the 20th day. His heart began to beat on the 21st day, pumping blood through its own circulatory system and the blood type can be different from his mother’s. Your baby is most vulnerable during the next month of being aborted. Pray that the Lord of Life might move the heart of his mother to give him the most precious gift of all—life.

Pastor’s Corner The Pharisees, during the time of
Jesus, believed that the Torah was
eternal and the Law was delivered
once and for all. Jesus, however,
sums up all the good that was and
will be and so replaces the Torah.
Today’s gospel shows Jesus promis-
ing the coming of the Holy Spirit, the “advocate” and
“comforter” who will guide the apostles – and the
Church through them – in all truth. We are that
Church and although often ridiculed and persecuted
and labeled “reactionary” when we speak out in the
name of truth, we must remain true to the liberating
revelation of Jesus Christ. He still guides the Church
as the Holy Spirit is still with us. The gospel is joy-
filled and liberating if only we follow it. Regardless of
the worlds’ opposition and the hurt it can cause, let
us remain firm in our commitment. Let us live in
confidence that the Lord is with us. God bless and
guide you all.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERSQUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q. Were St. Barnabas and St. Mark among the
original Apostles?
A. Well, St. Mark, evangelist and bishop of Alexan-
dria, was one of the seventy disciples and his
cousin Barnabas was one of the earliest Apostles
but neither were among the original twelve.

Greetings,
Congratulations to our Confirmation and First Communion students! It was truly an honor working with these wonderful individuals who are such great assets not only to our parish family but to our community as well. I’m not only thankful for the students and the great commitment they made to the program, but also the parents, the first teachers of the faith. They help guide and strengthen their children’s faith as they grow in their daily walk of knowing, loving, and serving our Lord. During the Easter season, we sing Psalm 118, “This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!” These are beautiful days to rejoice for the great gifts our Lord gave us in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Eucharist. Let us continue to pray for our Confirmation and First Communion students. May they be ever mindful of God’s presence within their lives as they seek to know, love, and serve him all the days of their lives.
Peace and prayers,
Mr. Bloom
