READINGS FOR THE WEEK Sunday, May 10, One in Faith #1017
O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health
of the Sick, who, at the Cross, united yourself with Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, mother of our Salvation, know what we need,
and we trust that you will provide for our needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return
after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us.
He who took our suffering upon Himself and burdened Himself with our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas — we who are put to the test —
and deliver us from every danger. O glorious and blessed Virgin.
Prayer of the Faithful As a chosen race and a royal priesthood, let us take the needs of our world before the throne of our loving God. For our Church to continue to reach out to those on the margins of society, and so show the world how to care for even the least in our midst, let us pray to the Lord. For peaceful resolutions to the challenges that face our world, such as hunger, poverty, climate change, and especially the Coronavirus pandemic, let us pray to the Lord. For all deacons in the Church, and for all others who minister to the Church and the world through selfless acts of service, let us pray to the Lord. For health care workers and all who are caring for the needs of those who are suffering, let us pray to the Lord. For our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and all those who have nurtured us, those who are living and those who have passed on to eternal life, let us pray to the Lord. For all those who are sick, and for all who have died, especially N., N., and N., let us pray to the Lord. For all the prayers that we hold in the si-lence of our hearts; for all our intentions spoken and unspoken, let us pray to the Lord.
Mighty God, you have called us out of darkness into your wonderful light. Hear these prayers that we bring to you today, and graciously grant them according to your will, through Jesus Christ our risen Lord. Amen.

Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Throughout the Easter season, we hear the story of the earliest Christian communities in readings from the Acts of the Apostles. We hear how the people grappled with what it meant to place their faith and trust in the Lord, understanding that doing so called them to live differently—to follow Jesus’ way of love. This is more than a history lesson for us. As we hear how the people were drawn to Christ and learned to follow Jesus, we are invited to ask ourselves how fully we are taking the gospel to heart. Is Jesus our way, truth, and life? Do our daily actions announce the praises of the Lord?
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The word of God continued to spread and the number of disciples increased greatly. (Acts 6:1–7)
Psalm — Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you (Psalm 33).
Second Reading — Let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:4-9).
Gospel — “I am the way and the truth and the life. Whoever has seen me has seen the Father (John 14:1-12).
Pope Francis’ May Intention
For Deacons We pray that deacons, faithful in their service to the Word and the poor, may be an invigorating symbol for the entire Church.
How else but through a broken heart May the Lord Christ enter in? —Oscar Wilde
