Dynamic Catholic, Alive! Praise & Glorify the Name of Jesus

In today’s reading from Luke on the procession with palms, the crowd, including Jesus’ disciples, were praising and glorifying the name of Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem. The Pharisees demanded that Jesus reprimand His disciples but Jesus replied, “I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!” Then, Paul reminds us in his letter to the Philippians that every knee will bend and “every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Unfortunately, we hear in the reading of the Passion that Jesus’ apostles became fair-weather friends. One betrayed Jesus, one denied Jesus, none of them prayed with Him in the garden, and John was the only apostle with Him at the foot of the cross. Can you imagine how Jesus felt about this? We all push Jesus aside in our lives at times and we forget to praise and glorify Him to those around us. As we en-ter into Holy Week, let us ask ourselves: “How can I better praise and glorify Jesus by my words and actions each day?”

The Easter Collection will include contributions to support the Archbishop’s Easter Collection for Retired Priests. Our priests are our shepherds. In their senior years, they look to us to help care for them. You can show your ap-preciation for their years of sacrament and service by giving generously.

Stewardship Awareness “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.” Luke 22:34 How many times have you heard someone make a disparaging com-ment about Jesus or our Catholic faith? How did you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a disturbance? Or, do you remain quiet because you believe people will think negatively about you? Pray for the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful dialogue when the opportunity arises.

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY In 1931 our Lord appeared to St. Faustina and asked her to spread devotion to His Divine Mercy. He requested that a Feast of Mercy be established which is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. To prepare for this Feast, our Lord asked that a Novena including the recitation of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy be prayed nine days prior to the Feast. The Chaplet will be prayed at 3:00pm in our Church on Good Friday to begin this Novena. On April 28 Immaculate Conception Church in Dardenne Prai-rie, MO will be celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday beginning at 3:00pm with Eucharistic Adoration, Confessions, Rosary, sing-ing of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and ending with Mass at 5:00pm.
