Sixth Sunday of Easter

Families who abide in love abide in God and God with them. Mothers teach
Jesus’ commandment to love to their children by their generous love and caring
discipline for them each day. Thank your mother or stepmother for the love and care
she has given you to improve your character.
 362 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. “Fortunate, indeed,
are the souls called by God to a life of perpetual adoration! How happy their death will be! It
will be nothing else than their last act of adoration on earth, one that will go over, without any
interruption, into the eternal and infinitely jubilant adoration in heaven.” (Rev. Jose G.
Trevino) Vacant Daytime Hours: Monday 8-9am, Tuesday 10-11am and Sunday 1-2pm. Nighttime
