Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that
You are present in the Most
Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You
into my soul. Since I cannot
at this moment receive You
sacramentally, come at
least spiritually into my
heart. I embrace You as if
You were already there and
unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be
separated from You.
Pray frequently during the day.
May be prayed on behalf of others.

Spiritual Insights
Groups to Record Rosaries
Our goal is for every parish, organization, Catholic school, prayer group to participate on the
Rosary Program by leading the Rosary. For info on
participation, call Dorothy 602-944-6811.
from Fr. Zachary of the
Mother of God, SOLT
Fr. Zachary tells us to pray that
we have the ability to pray, to bring
ourselves into a state of humility and total
dependence on Mary to help us. Father highly
recommended that three times a day we bring
souls to Our Lady.
This, he believes, could
transform the world.
Father remarked that the Samaritan woman
who encountered Jesus at the well became the
first missionary, eagerly telling others about
Jesus. Pope Francis reminds us to leave our
comfort zone and became missionaries. Fr.
Zachary asks how are we responding to this
invitation to be missionaries?
In these last weeks of Lent let us embrace
the cross with enthusiasm and perseverance. Mary
is with us at this time, and always, to help us live
according to God’s plan.
Confession to Prepare
for Easter
Pope Francis frequently talks about
“mercy and grace.” He assures us
that God is always ready to
welcome us back. Many parishes
now have extended hours of Confession. Let us
pray to the Holy Spirit that those in need of
Confession (all of us) will take advantage of this
Lenten opportunity.
Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27
Divine Mercy Sunday focuses on rededication
to living and proclaiming Christ’s Mercy.
Order Novena Leaflets Today
Wisdom of St. John Paul II
Be an Apostle of Mercy. Someone has donated
six hundred copies of the Divine Mercy Novena.
These are available to newsletter readers to
share with others. Traditionally the Novena starts
on Good Friday but can be prayed any time. God
wants to extend His mercy to the whole world and
we can be instruments of that mercy. Write to us
for leaflets or call Genevieve at 602-954-0316.
“From Mary we learn to surrender to
God’s will in all things. From Mary we
learn to trust even when all hope seems
gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ
her Son and the Son of God.”
St. John XXIII Papacy Oct. 28, 1958 to June 3,
1963. He called the historic second Vatican
Council. He was devoted to St. Joseph and to the
Rosary, praying three Rosaries daily. In the
Diocese of Phoenix there is an elementary school
bearing his name.

the Diocese. See website for update. Give the

The Divine Mercy revelations by Jesus to St.
Faustina make a twofold request:
We Are About to Embark on
an Expansion of RFR
1. Trust. Complete confidence in Jesus.
2. Deeds of mercy - the daily practice of mercy
toward one’s neighbor.
On the horizon are plans for a greater outreach.
We ask your support both prayerfully.
Monetarily. This project will demand high tech
equipment.

St. Louis de Montfort met with

his death and are very popular today.
He is best known for his books True
Devotion to Mary and The Secret of the

Easter
Following
Jesus’ last 40 days on earth
following Easter (Gospels, Acts
1:1-12) were a triumphant time.
Jesus ate with His disciples, instructed them and
gave the great commission “make disciples of all
nations.” He told Peter to feed His lambs, tend
His sheep. Paul records that Jesus was seen not
only by His disciples but also by 500 people at
one time.

A Pro-life Prayer for Our President and
Public Officials
Lord, God, Author of Life and Source of Eternal Life.
Move the hearts of all our public officials and
especially our President, to fulfill their responsibilities worthily and well to all those entrusted to their
care.
Help them in their special leadership roles, to
extend the mantle of protection to the most vulnerable, especially the defenseless unborn,
whose live are threatened with
extermination by an indifferent society.
Pope Francis’ Plea
“Implore the intercession of the Virgin Mary,
St. Joseph, Ss. Peter and Paul and St. Francis, that
the Holy Spirit accompany my ministry,
and I ask all of you to pray for me! Amen.”
Guide all public officials by your
wisdom and grace to cease supporting
any law that fails to protect the
fundamental good that is human life itself,
which is a gift from God and parents.
You are the Protector and Defender of the lives
of the innocent unborn. Change the hearts of those
who compromise the call to protect and defend life.
Bring our nation to the values that have made us a
great nation, a society that upholds the values of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.

“Be Protectors of God’sGifts”
Highlights from Pope Francis’ Inaugural Homily
March 19, 2013 – Feast of Saint Joseph
+ Joseph acts “discreetly, humbly and silently”
with “unfailing presence and utter fidelity, even
when he finds it difficult to understand.” + Joseph
was “constantly attentive to God, open to the
signs of God’s presence and receptive to God’s
plan …not his own.” + Although Joseph was
strong, courageous and hard working, “in his
Mary, the Mother of the living,
help us to bear witness to the
Gospel of Life with our lives and our
laws, through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen
Imprimatur: January 22, 2009

heart we see great tenderness…genuine openness
to others.”
+ Christ is “the core of a Christian vocation.”
+“Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we
can protect others, so that we can protect creation!”
+ Being a protector includes loving concern for
everyone, especially children, the elderly, those in
need. + Being a protector means protecting
spouses and children, and children, in time,
protecting parents. + Being a protector “means
building sincere friendships in which we protect one
another in trust, respect, and goodness.”
+ When we fail in these concerns, “the way
is opened to destruction and hearts are
hardened…there are ‘Herods’ who plot death,
wreak havoc...” + A protector must keep watch
over oneself, guarding against hatred, envy and
pride.
+ In Christ’s command to Peter, “Feed My
lambs, feed My sheep,” we see that “…authentic
power is service…which has its radiant
culmination on the Cross.” + “Only those who
serve with love are able to protect.” + To look
upon others “with tenderness and love…” opens up
“a horizon of hope.”
+ “We must not be afraid of goodness, or even
tenderness!”
Pope Francis, Model of His Patron
Our Holy Father’s first message asked for
our prayers. He called us to protect all that
God has created, including all people from the
children in the womb to the elderly, as well as
God’s gifts of natural resources. Pope Francis
is a model of simplicity, poverty, humility and
obedience by the example of his patron, St. Francis
of Assisi. This saint, although romanticized as a
simple lover of animals and plants, was in fact
zealous and courageous. God’s message to
Francis, “rebuild My Church”
resulted in wide-spread spiritual
8
Paul II, in calling for unceasing
adoration asks us to be “ready” to sacrifice
that we may “make reparation for the great
faults and crimes of the world”
(Dominicae Cenae, Ch. I, Sec. 2, Art. 3)
Reprinted from the Missionaries of the Blessed
Sacrament monthly publication Sept. 2001.
Although the Gospels do not record it, we
may be sure that Our Lady was the first to experience
the Light of the Risen Christ. One of our beautiful
liturgies is the Easter Vigil. It begins in the dark, then
the paschal candle is lit, representing the Light of
Christ. The light spreads until the entire church is
aglow.
As Catholic Christians we are called to bring
the Light of Christ, the Light of the World, to all those
we encounter. We can do this by our virtuous
example, our cheerfulness, patience, kindness,
consideration, willingness to help. We have been
reminded, “You are the only gospel some people
will ever read.”
By our prayers and sacrifices we can also bring
Christ’s Light to people we may never meet: to
people on the other side of the world, to mothers and
the children in the womb, to the sick and suffering and
homeless, military personnel and prisoners.

Pro-life Prayer of Pope John Paul II
O Mary, we entrust to you the cause of life.
Look down upon the vast numbers
of babies not allowed to be born.
Grant all who believe in your Son
to proclaim the Gospel of Life.
Obtain for them the grace to accept
the Gospel as a gift ever new,
to bear witness to it resolutely, to praise
and glorify God, the Creator and Lover of Life.
Amen
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
The Son whom you merited to bear, alleluia,
has risen has He said, alleluia.
Pray for us to God, alleluia.
Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia

Parish Representatives Needed. These are
people who will put a monthly Radio Family Rosary
notice in their parish bulletin and will help distribute
newsletters. This is a fun task that helps promote
Our Lady’s Rosary Program. Call Anne at 602864-9857 for more information.
Easter celebrates the highlight of our
Christian belief. It is time of renewal
and rebirth. It is
time in which we reflect on the
blessing of God’s
gift of the promise of eternal life.
God’s triumph over death is the
message of Easter which we
acknowledge and in which we rejoice.
We at Radio Family Rosary pray that the joy and
blessings of this Easter Season will be you and
your loved ones.
Prolife Corner
“I often pray at abortion clinics because they are
today’s Calvary. Jesus was an innocent person
put to death unjustly. Who could be more innocent
than a child?”
– Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted
3:00 P.M.
“ Hour of Great Mercy”
Jesus asks us to recall at 3 P.M. his suffering and
death. He told St. Faustina: “At three o’clock
implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if
only for brief moment, immerse yourself in My
Passion, particularly My abandonment at the
moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy
for the whole world… In this hour I will refuse
nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in
virtue of My Passion.”
Suggested prayer for 3 P.M.:
“O Blood and Water, which gushed forth
from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy
for us, I trust in You.”
Say often every day: “Jesus, I trust in You.”
10
The Sunday after Easter is Divine
Mercy Sunday, April 11
The feast is observed by the Universal Church.
When Jesus requested this feast, He told St.
Faustina:
“The soul that will go to Confession and
receive
Holy Communion shall obtain
complete forgiveness of sins and punishment… Let no
soul fear to
draw near to Me, even though its sins be as
scarlet.”
The Sacrament of Reconciliation should be received
within
eight days before the feast or after. Jesus indicated that
worthy
reception of Communion on this day restores the soul to
baptismal innocence.
How to Make Divine Mercy Novena,
which begins on Good Friday, April 6
The Divine Mercy Novena, which Jesus requested
of St. Faustina, begins on Good Friday and should
include the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day, plus
prayers for these intentions:
The Divine Mercy Message
Is Urgent in This Age of Immorality and
Terror
First day: All mankind, especially sinners. Second
day: The souls of priests and religious.
Third day: All devout and faithful souls. Fourth
day: Those who do not believe in Me and those
who do not yet know Me. Fifth day: The souls of
the separated brethren. Sixth day: The meek and
humble souls and
the souls of little children. Seventh
day: The souls who especially venerate and glorify
My mercy.
Eighth day: The souls who are in Purgatory.
Ninth day: Souls who have become lukewarm
