The final words at Mass — "Go in peace" — are an invitation to Christians to proclaim God's blessings through their lives, not an opportunity to go outside and speak ill of others, Pope Francis said.Through the Eucharist, Jesus "enters in our hearts and in our flesh so that we may express in our lives the sacrament we received in faith," the pope said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square April 4.
"But if we leave the church gossiping, saying, 'Look at this one, look at that one,' with a loose tongue, the Mass has not entered into my heart. Why? Because I am not able to live the Christian witness," he said. "Every time I leave Mass, I must leave better than when I entered, with more life, with greater strength, with a greater desire to give Christian witness." In his main talk, the pope focused on the closing rites of Mass, finishing a series of audience talks on the liturgy.
As the Mass ends, he said, "the commitment of Christian witness" begins at home, at work and any time a Christian interacts with others; the idea is to "become Eucharistic men and women." "What does this mean?" the pope asked. "It means letting Christ act through our works: that his thoughts become our thoughts, his feelings become our feelings, his choices become our choices."
Departing from his prepared remarks, Pope Francis said that by "mortifying our selfishness," Christians create a greater space for the Holy Spirit to act in their lives and "widen their souls" after receiving the Eucharist. "Let your souls be widened! Not these narrow, closed, small, selfish souls. No! Great souls, big souls with great horizons," he said. The fruits of the Eucharist, the pope added, are "destined to mature in daily life" and grow like a grain of wheat through "our good works, attitudes and becoming like Jesus."
In receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, Pope Francis said, men and women are called to "pass from the flesh of Christ to the flesh of our brothers and sisters," especially the poor where Jesus "awaits to be recognized, served, honored and loved by us." "May our lives always be in bloom, like Easter, with the flowers of hope, of faith, of good works," he said. "May we always find the strength for this in the Eucharist, in our union with Jesus."

I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU VISITED ME!
KAIROS is the name of an ecumenical ministry to residents of Oklahoma correctional facilities. We often speak of prisoners “doing time”, well the word KAIROS refers to God’s special time during which the gift of salvation is always at hand. While we all can’t go into prisons, we can do prisoners a good deed by providing them with lots of cookies.
✓ store bought packaged cookies only ✓ no raisins or nuts, especially peanuts ✓ it’s not possible to donate too many
Each team member is responsible for 100 dozen.
1 dozen cookies are given to every resident twice during the weekend, after the evening meals. Ask God to use your cookies as a source of His love to shine on the prisoners and staff on the Kairos weekend.
Deadline for Cookies is Wednesday, April 18th
THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK
Will be Proclaimed in its entirety FROM MEMORY by
MICHAEL REARDON On Sunday, April 8th, at 5pm in the church
Michael is a truly gifted Catholic Gentleman who has committed to memory all four gospels plus the Book of Revelation. He and his associate, Patrick Lane, have been traveling the world to bring new life to the proclamation of God’s Living Word. They have been at St. Andrew’s on numerous occasions and it will be a joy to welcome them back in this Year of Mark. Please spread the word to your neighbors and friends—Catholics and non-Catholics alike. This is an occasion not to be missed!
