REFLECTION
Today’s readings invite us to reflect on our identity as a Church, rooted in the power of the Resurrection. The early Christian community, as seen in Acts, is filled with joy, healing, and growth as they boldly proclaim Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus reveals the deep unity between humanity and God through love and the gift of the Spirit. As disciples, we are called to live this love by welcoming, affirming, and uniting all people. May we open our hearts to the Spirit, so that, beyond our differences, we may truly live as one in Christ’s love.
Happy
Mothers Day
With gratitude and prayers for all mothers and those who hold mother’s role in our lives.

BEFORE YOU FIX YOUR WEDDING DATE
Thinking about doing your wedding in the Church? Great move! The way to go is to call the parish office and schedule an appointment with the priest at least 12 months before your desired wedding date. It is a requirement in the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto.
Hoping for the best for you as you process and make this important life-long decision
DID YOU KNOW
| Jesus’ new commandment to love from John 13:34 is most often first learned at home, through the quiet, sacrificial love of mothers, all of whom we celebrate on Mother's Day today? | |
| St. Francis of Assisi whose 800th Jubilee we celebrate this Year of St. Francis, discovered that real renewal begins when we love others not sentimentally, but sacrificially and consistently? | |
| The new heaven and the new earth that the Scriptures speak of in Revelation 21:1, begin whenever we choose compassion over indifference in daily life? |
