"If
you can not soar up as high as Christ sitting on His
throne,
behold Him
hanging on His cross. Rest in Christ's Passion and
live
willingly in His holy
wounds." ~ Thomas à
Kempis, Imitation of
Christ
"Oh, my
God, through the precious Blood of
Jesus
and His
five wounds,
grant me today five graces:
grant me today five graces:
the conversion of a
sinner,
the conversion of an unbeliever,
the salvation of someone
dying in peril of everlasting death;
a vocation to the priesthood
or to the religious life;
and, for some new soul,
the grace of entering into and
savoring the mystery of the Eucharist."

Let
us especially be mindful of and in prayer for the thousands
of
Catechumens and
Candidates who will fully enter the
Catholic Church and her
sacramental life during the Easter
Vigil.
Life in abundance! - John
