Mothers’
Day Prayers
1) Every Mother's Prayer
I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

Easter 6 B - As I love you
Fr. Tony Kadavil:
Readings
First Reading: Acts 10: 25-26, 34-35, 44-48
Second Reading: 1 John 4: 7-10
Gospel: John 15: 9-17
Anecdotes
1) God’s love in action: When Fr. Damien arrived in Molokai to assemble a prefabricated church for the lepers, he spent the first few weeks sleeping out under the trees, because he was unable to cope with the stench in the hovels of the lepers. He certainly wouldn't dare preach to them about God's love for them, because, as they saw it, that would be offensive. But slowly he opened his heart to the grace of God which enabled him to see the suffering Jesus in them. In no time, he was washing them, bandaging them, and burying them. He came to love them, and, through him, they came to believe that God loved them. He smoked a pipe to counteract the stench, but he soon was passing the pipe around for others to have a smoke. He ate food with them from a common bowl, out of which they scooped the food with hands that had no fingers. He caught the disease himself, and he was happy to be able to live and to die for them. Thus, St. Damien followed Jesus’ commandment of love given in today’s gospel: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

_________________________________________
I must candidly confess
that when I was in seminary the 16th chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans
didn't do much for me. It struck me as being boring nothing more than a long
presentation of people's names, most of whom I could not pronounce; I usually
skimmed over that part so I could get to what I considered to be the real
Gospel. Over the years I have greatly changed my attitude about this particular
chapter and I have discovered that there is much more to it than I had first
imagined. For example, it is interesting to note that of the twenty-six people
who Paul singles out for his personal greeting, six were women. Now that strikes
me as being rather interesting, since Paul has frequently gotten a bum rap for
being a male chauvinist. I think it also shows us the tremendous influence that
women had in the early church. In the male oriented first century Palestine, it
is telling that Paul could not describe the church without mentioning the
significant role of women.
Workers' Day -Reflection
A sermon for international workers’ day
Posted: Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:13:18 +0000
Introduction
1. Define, working class: “those employed in lower tier jobs (as measured by skill, education and lower incomes), often extending to those in unemployment or otherwise possessing below-average incomes.”
2. In the Bible there’s no such group as “working class”. However in it we find many people that fit into the above description.
3. Do you know these people though they are long gone have a three fold message about God and his love for those who toil and labor today? Let me take you 2000 years back in time.

Diabetes Medicines
Diabetes treatment: Medications for type 2 diabetes
By Mayo Clinic staffHealthy lifestyle choices — including diet, exercise and weight control — provide the foundation for managing type 2 diabetes. However, you may need medications to achieve target blood sugar (glucose) levels. Sometimes a single medication is effective. In other cases, a combination of medications works better.
The list of medications for type 2 diabetes is long and potentially confusing. Learning about these drugs — how they're taken, what they do and what side effects they may cause — will help you discuss treatment options with your doctor.
Easter Humour - Still
Humor for Easter
Nothing is certain except vat and taxes?!?
Lasting Palm Sunday
Impressions
My wife planned an activity for our two and one-half year old daughter during the week following Palm Sunday. After having her cut and paste brightly colored construction paper coats and palm branches on a picture of Jesus riding into Jerusalem, she spread coats in our hallway, and the three of us walked over them, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" A couple of days later, we reminded Jamie that the following Sunday was Easter. "Do you know what that means?" her mother asked. "Yes!" Jamie chirped enthusiastically. "We're going to church, and Jesus is going to come and walk on our coats!"

Anecdotes
1) Pope John Paul II, the good shepherd. The most beautiful and meaningful comment on the life and the legacy of Pope John PaulII was made by the famous televangelist Billy Graham. In a TV Interview he said: “He lived like his Master the Good Shepherd and he died like his Master the Good Shepherd.” In today’s gospel, Jesus claims that he is the Good Shepherd and explains what he does for his sheep.
