Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION Jesus asks a poignant question in today’s Gospel: “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip?” We know we could each substitute our own names for Philip’s and hear Jesus saying this to us! We can all identify with both Philip and Thomas today, for they are both befuddled by what Jesus has said to them. Their questions are poignant, too: “Where are you going? Show us what you mean.” You’ll notice that Jesus doesn't answer his disciples’ questions very clearly or offer point-by-point explanations. This passage begins with his statement, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.” Right after this, both Thomas and Philip ask troubled questions. Jesus replies with the same admonition he started with: “Have faith. Believe in me.” Our troubled questions arise the same way as the questions in this passage. We think we need more information, a better map for the journey, a better definition of God. Jesus answers simply: “Believe in me.” Text Box: CHURCH PAINTING FUND - April 13, 2008 Goal $350,000.00 Total paid to date (pledge payments and additional gifts) $255,738.00 Pledge payments outstanding $ 94,262.00 $350,000.00

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

 

JESUS IS WAITING!!  Pope John Paul II called us to a personal relationship with JESUS, our SAVIOR.  Going before HIM in the Blessed Sacrament we go before HIM who is with us in person.  Adoration helps us feel more personally involved with Christ.  Visit Jesus in the Adoration Chapel with adoration, thanks and petitions.
