“At the moment of elevation, here is the Lord bending down to us, opening his arms to us,

embracing us, incorporating us in the offering of his life to his Father, to our Father, for the greater glory

of God and the salvation of the world.” Pierre-Marie Dumont. From the 2021 MAGNIFICAT Holy Week issue. Copyright MAGNIFICAT-Used with permission. www.magnificat.com

A Reflection for the Third Sunday of Easter The risen Christ stands in our midst and asks, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.” This is the Lord’s commandment to us. “The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments.” When we are in distress, we beg with the Psalmist, “Let the light of your countenance shine upon us!” God has answered that prayer, for “God raised the author of life from the dead.” The Lord will hear and have pity. “Touch and see.”

From the 2021 MAGNIFICAT April issue. Copyright MAGNIFICAT-Used with permission. www.magnificat.com

Adoration of the Holy Eucharist The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed Sunday, and Wednesday through Friday between the hours of 3pm and 5 pm. There will be no ritual Exposition and Benediction, but the Blessed Sacrament will be simply exposed during those hours. This is simply time and space for individuals to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. These are opportunities for individuals to pray with the Lord, to listen to the Lord, or simply come to offer a

prayer or a rosary. Again, these are individual opportunities for prayer at the church. Of course, we are all encouraged to pray no matter where we are. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!

Pray for Peace & Safety: If you have a family member serving in the military, please let us know. We will publish their names in the bulletin to remind everyone to ask God’s blessing on them so that they may return safely to their families.

Dear Jesus, Help me to spread you everywhere I go. Flood my soul with your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may be only a radiance of Yours. Shine through me and be so in me that every person I come in contact with will feel your presence in me. Let them look up and see, not only me, but also Jesus. Amen.

Joyous Time of Year

May the glory and the promise

of this joyous time of year bring peace

and happiness to you and those you hold most dear.

And may Christ, Our Risen Savior,

always be there by your side to bless you

most abundantly and be your loving guide.
