Stating the obvious
John 11:1-45
Ever wonder why the stoplight was invented? Well, of course,
everybody knows that - but do they? Somewhere along the line
someone taught us about stoplights. We had to learn what green,
red and yellow meant. And it was a while before our reactions
become second nature. Our parents stated the obvious, again and
again, reminding us to “Watch the signals, look both ways, be
careful!”
When Jesus raised Lazarus he prayed to His Father, “I know
that you always hear me, but because of the crowd here, I have
said so that they may believe.” Jesus entire life and ministry
taught people the power of prayer, and faith in God. How many
miracles did it take to make that point clear? But Jesus took the
time to state the obvious because someone there needed to hear
it. We need to do the same thing today. We can’t assume
“everyone already knows”. It’s our job to share the good news
with people we meet and those we already know, to tell them
about God and His wonderful gifts. Go ahead, state the obvious,
maybe today the person who needs it is you.

Food Drive
To benefit our St. Mary-SVDP Society. Collection boxes
are in Murray Hall and the back of church.
Recycle Drive
We have collected over $ 761.83 worth of old ink cartridges.
Thanks to all you have donated. This is an on-going project and
we will have a collection box located in the back of the Church.
We would like to thank everyone who has generously donated
their used cartridges to our program. It has been determined that
the Laser cartridges are no longer accepted, so please don’t
bring those up to the church, they will just be thrown away.
Though Martha professes, “You are the
Son of God,” her belief is still lacking
for she chides Jesus for not saving her
brother. Even when belief is a struggle
and less than perfect, Jesus still acts to
bring new life. In just the same way,
we are called to bring new life to hose
who struggle in their faith through ministry programs
funded by the Catholic Sharing Appeal. Let us be generous in supporting this great program in our church.
Parish Goal: $ 18,498.00

St. Stanislaus
Feastday: April 11
Stanislaus was born of noble parents on July 26th at Szczepanow near Cracow, Poland. He was educated at Gnesen and
was ordained there. He was given a canonry by Bishop Lampert
Zula of Cracow, who made him his preacher, and soon he became noted for his preaching. He became a much sought after
spiritual adviser. He was successful in his reforming efforts, and
in 1072 was named Bishop of Cracow. He incurred the enmity of
King Boleslaus the Bold when he denounced the King's cruelties
and injustices and especially his kidnapping of the beautiful wife
of a nobleman. When Stanislaus excommunicated the King and
stopped services at the Cathedral when Boleslaus entered,
Boleslaus himself killed Stanislaus while the Bishop was saying
Mass in a chapel outside the city on April 11. Stanislaus has long
been the symbol of Polish nationhood. He was canonized by
Pope Innocent IV in 1253 and is the principle patron of Cracow.
His feast day is April 11th.
We all appreciate a clean and neat pew for
Mass
Please consider the following:

5.
Did you put the music books and missals back
in the holder?
Did you put the envelopes and pen back in the
holder?
Do you have your bulletin or any other papers
that were given to you before mass?
Did you allow your children to write on offertory envelopes during Mass? We have Children’s Bulletins for them located on the back
table of the Church. The envelopes are costly
and if written on they can’t be used by the next
person who sits in the pews.
Did you gather all your children’s belongings
and trash?
Thank you, Altar Society

Two Ends
Every person has two ends:
an end to think with
and an end to sit with.
What he accomplishes depends on
the end he chooses heads, he wins; tails, he loses.
Awww, Mom!
Jesus was walking along one day, when He came upon a group
of people surrounding a lady of ill repute. It was obvious that the
crowd was preparing to stone her, so Jesus made His now famous
statement, “Let the person who has no sin cast the first stone.”
The crowd was shamed and one by one began to turn away. All
of a sudden, a lovely little woman made her way through the
crowd. Finally getting to the front, she tossed a pebble towards the
woman.
Jesus slapped His forehead and groaned, “I really hate it when
you do that, Mom.”

Life is an altar
Too many believe Christian life is a barrel of blessings
from which they are privileged to feed. Out of it they
demand clothing and food and money and security. That
isn't living at all. The Christian life is an altar, not a
smorgasbord. And what goes on an altar? A sacrifice.
It’s all in the way you look at it
Old Mr. Brown and his grandson were out in their garden one
day. After weeks of hard work, the whole garden had been meticulously weeded, watered, and fertilized. The flowers and vegetables
were all flourishing and beautiful.
Along came their local priest. Stopping to admire the garden, he
said, “Greetings! Isn't it a miracle what the Lord can do in a garden?”
Before Mr. Brown could answer his little grandson piped up: “I
don’t know about that Father. You should have seen it when He
had it all to Himself.”

Prayers of the Faithful
Fourth Sunday of Lent
April 9 and 10, 2011
1. For those who face death by war, by hunger, or by disease,
and for those whose lives are rendered hopeless through injustice
without redress, that they may live indeed,
Let us Pray to the Lord
2. For those whose life is paralyzed by fear, who are unable to laugh
or to be angry, to venture any risk, or to love, that they may
experience the freedom which God’s spirit brings,
Let us Pray to the Lord
3. For those who are lost in the death of sin, whose lives are choked by
their cruelty or callousness or greed or lust or apathy, that they may
come to recognize a brother of a sister in every human being,
Let us Pray to the Lord
4. For those who have departed from us in death, whether they died
strong in faith or in confusion and fear, that they may rise in glory
with Jesus on the last day,
Let us Pray to the Lord
5. That we who have been sealed with the Holy Spirit might strive to
develop a profound Christian life for the service of mankind,
Let us Pray to the Lord
6. That we may be good mindful of those in need by supporting the
Catholic Sharing Appeal,
Let us Pray to the Lord
7. For our military serving our country, we thank them for their service
and pray for their safety amidst difficult circumstances,
Let us Pray to the Lord
