Reflections on Sunday Readings:
First Reading: Acts 10:25-26, 34
-35, 44-48
Peter was originally skeptical
about preaching the Gospel to non
-Jews. Then one day, the Holy
Spirit summoned him to preach to
the pagan army officer Cornelius
and his household. The result, as
we shall see, is the first recorded conversion of Gentiles to Christi-
anity.
Second Reading: 1 John 4:7-10
The tradition of the apostle
John’s teachings is expressed in
the first letter of John. There is a
legend that John in his old age
would simply repeat over and
over to his people, “Love one an-
other.” Today’s passage from that letter particularly illustrates
this story.

Dear Friends,
Happy Mother’s Day! Today we pray for all our mothers,
living and deceased, and ask God’s blessings upon them.
We pray for single mothers, foster mothers, step-mothers,
God-mothers and all those whose vocation comes under
maternal blessings. We also reach out in prayer for our elderly mothers
who carry the memories of our families and for mothers who are suffer-
ing from physical and/or emotional and mental pain - mothers who
mourn the loss of a child or are suffering from having a missing
child ...and for mothers who are incarcerated. May this day be a source
of comfort and joy for you as we thank you for all you do and are. God
bless you!
On a personal note, I thank God for the gift of my dear mother who died
some eighteen years ago on the morning of my twin brother’s funeral.
Having their funerals five days apart in January 1997 was a difficult
time for yours truly, but I am grateful for the many wonderful memories and for the joy they both gave to my family and to so many others. God
is good!
During the month of May, we honor Mary, our Mother, and we ask her
help and guidance for our families and for all our loved ones. May she
be an inspiration for us as we journey through this mystery of life. She, too, had many crosses to bear, but she carried them with humility, cour-
age and faith. May she be our help and our hope.
In God’s love and mine,
Vince
A Mother’s Prayer
Dear Lord,
It’s such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray. For life’s been anything but calm,
Since You called me to be a mom -
Running errands, matching socks, Building dreams with stacking blocks.
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes,
And other things that children lose. Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs.
A stack of last week’s mail to read - Where’s the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
At the sink or ironing board, To ask the blessing of Your grace,
I see then, in my little one’s face,
That you have blessed me all the while, And I stoop to kiss that precious smile.
