This Week’s Stewardship Reflection
Today’s readings emphasize for us what it means to live as a Christian disciple – both in the early
Church and today over 2000 years later. It means living a life rooted in faith. That faith leads us to
love.
The second reading tells us, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and
everyone who loves the Father loves also the one begotten by Him” (1 Jn.5:1).
As Christian disciples, we live a life of love – love of God and love of neighbour, and we use all that we
have – our time, our talents, and our treasure – in love of others, following Jesus’ footsteps.
Remember, Christ’s whole life on Earth was lived for love of others, so much so that He died out of
love for all of us. And so it is our responsibility as His disciples to use all that He has given us out of
love for others, proclaiming the Gospel by the way we live.

ST. ALOYSIUS’ NEWS
FEAST OF THE DIVINE MERCY
On April 30th, 2000, the late Pope
John Paul II canonized blessed
Faustina, Saint Faustina, declaring
the first Sunday after Easter as
Divine Mercy Sunday. Jesus’
message
revealed
in
Saint
Faustina’s diaries, calls all to
practice
mercy
toward
one’s
neighbour by deed, word and prayer.
“Even the most hardened sinner, if
he recites this chaplet even once,
will receive grace from My Infinite
Mercy” (Diary, 687).
H.O.P.E. EASTER WRAP-UP AND

With gratitude, we acknowledge that
this mission would not have been
possible without the guidance, care

chairperson, CYNTHIA HANSEN.
