For most people the most influential shepherds in their lives are their PARENTS. Every parent is called to be a “good shepherd” to “freely lay down their life” for their children, to “love” and “know” their children and to “lead” them so “they know your voice.” Marriage Moments Favor your beloved. Call to mind a recent favor your spouse has done for you. Think of a treat you can offer your beloved today. Parenting Pointers “A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” A good parent is like a good shepherd. We spend our time, money, and worries on our children. In essence, we lay down our lives for their good. Remember that you as a parent also have The Good Shepherd who cares for you in the same way. -Ministers Of The Liturgy Sat., May 2—4:00 p.m. Elizabeth Spisak, Mikayla McShane, Jack Ferko, Tom Ogurchak Sun., May 3—8:30 a.m. 6th & 7th Grade CCD Students, Ron Yonek (Communion To the Sick) Sun., May 3—11:00 a.m Daniel Barnett, Alyssa Minerd, Ed Mularski, Ray Barnett, Carol McMahon (Choir) (Communion to the Sick) Page Three God doesn't ask you to understand, comprehend, or figure it all out...He just asks us to Pray, Seek, and Trust.
