Saint Patrick's Parish Bulletin
World Day of Prayer for Vocations
April 29, 2007
4th SUNDAY OF EASTER
The sheep of Jesus are cherished
beyond comprehension!
Being completely cherished, unconditionally loved, is more than we can fully comprehend. Yet, we are! No matter what difficulties or sufferings unfold in our lives, God does not separate us from his love. Being so loved by God, we respond by living with gratitude and humility as we mirror this love to those we encounter. |

 GIVING GENEROUSLY
RECEIVING GRATEFULLY
Paul and Barnabas encountered both violent rejection and joyful acceptance of the message that they preached. We, too, may meet with mixed reactions when we use our gifts in the service of God. But, the Gospel assures us — the reward for those who follow faithfully is eternal life.
