First Reading: Acts 7:55-60 Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit, and described seeing Jesus standing at God's right hand. Then he was dragged away and stoned to death before many witnesses who did not believe his words. Before dying he cried, "Lord, do no hold this sin against them."
Second Reading: Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20 John hears a voice saying, "Remember I am coming soon!" This messenger for Jesus says that he will come to reward those who are deserving. Those who hear the call of the Spirit are encouraged to answer by accepting Jesus.
Gospel: John 17:20-26 Jesus prays for all the people who will believe in him through the words of his disciples. His prayer is that the world will live in unity, with Jesus living in us as he lives in God. Although we have not known God, we know Jesus was sent by God because of his love for us. He prays that this love will live on in all people.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! GOD BLESS YOU!
The most important person on earth is mother. She cannot claim the honor of having build Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent that any cathedral – a dwelling for an immortal soul. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other human creature. God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. What on God’s earth is more important that this: to be a mother!

“ A man owns a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away: will he not leave the ninety-nine out on the hills and
go in search of the stray? If he succeeds in finding it, believe me he is happier about this one than about the
ninety-nine that did not wander away.” -Matthew 18: 12-14 For more information e-mail [email protected] or
The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks
on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
