Ushers Needed - Welcome one another, then, as Christ
welcomed you, for the glory of God. – Romans 15:7. Hospitality
meant something to Jesus, it was more than common custom.
Hospitality showed respect for the visitor, it demonstrated the
humility of the host. It avoided the temptation to sneer at the less
fortunate or the less moral. Do you have the heart of an Usher? It is not just
taking up the collection, it is being part of a team here at the Mission that enjoys
serving. Feel called to this ministry? Call Cecil Boyd (619) 203-4309 or the
Parish Office to start helping at your favorite Mass.

SO THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE
It is not often that the author of one of the books of
the Bible comes right out and tells us directly why he is
writing what he is writing. In this Sunday’s Gospel read-
ing, taken from the conclusion of John’s Gospel, the author
tells us that he has chosen to record these events so “that
you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and that through this belief you may have life in
his name” (20:31).
The letter of John echoes this idea by saying that
“[e]veryone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begot-
ten by God” (5:1), what we might refer to as being “born
again.” Our reading from the Acts of the Apostles for this
Second Sunday of Easter shows us exactly what it looks
like when believers are born again through faith. J. S. Paluch Co.
