Youth Leadership Team Pastoral Project Skit

We are truly blessed to work with the youth leaders in our parishes. Our Youth Leadership Teams - PULSE: Passionately Uniting and Leading Students to Evangelize, had their project presentations on Mother's Day. They wrote a beautiful speech  (attached) and also decide to do the Everything skit with the music by Lifehouse.

The project theme was Abiding in God's Will and Surrendering to God's Will.

The speech the team wrote is truly inspirational. Remember - we coach and advise, we don't write for them. We pray and allow God to work through them to give the message He has for us.




The YLT PULSE is a 2 parish joint team so they performed at 2 parishes that same day.

Mother Mary - Continue to pray for all youth. They are the future of our church. Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to guide them. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen

Gospel Today on the Feast of St. Matthias. It's All About Love - The Great Commandment

It's all about love - the great commandment

John 15:9-17 (Gospel for the feast of st. Matthias May 14, 2015)

Jesus said to his disciples:
“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.

“I have told you this so that my joy might be in you
and your joy might be complete.
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you: love one another.”

A favorite commandment - to LOVE

Mother Mary - Pray for us to share the love within us. Amen
