LISTEN FOR HIS VOICE
We all face obstacles in life. Perhaps it's a lost job,
the death of a loved one, a sudden accident that
places an unexpected dent in our finances. Some-
times the challenges are of our own making. Per-
haps we've developed patterns of sin in our personal
lives or our family relationships. We've all felt the
jolting shock of, "This is all my fault." How do these
things affect our relationship with God? Or, per-
haps more poignantly, how do we now view God's
relationship to us?
In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus' words to us are en-
couraging ones. "No one can take them out of my
hand." Did you catch that? In case you didn't, Jesus
reemphasizes the point again a few verses later. "My
Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can take them out of the Father's hand."
God's grip of providential care and mercy is so
strong that nothing can separate us. We might think
things take us out of God's hand - life circumstances,
tragedy, our lukewarm attitudes towards faith - but
Jesus tells us otherwise. Nothing, no one, can take us
out of the Father's hand, and we can't take ourselves
out! We can't remove ourselves from Him, not en-
tirely. Even when grievous sin hardens us to grace,
His love is still sustaining us in existence. And His
mercy is always awaiting our repentance.
"My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never
perish." This Sunday, let us heed the voice of the Good Shepherd. Whatever we feel might take us from God's
hand, we can turn back to Him. God is always inviting us to follow Him and to trust in His care and be sus-
tained by His hand.
Presentation Our Lady of Victory Church is an urban parish that strives to proclaim the Good News of Christ
and the beliefs of the Roman Catholic faith, focuses on increasing our love for God through worship; serves as
stewards in the community and continues the ministry of Jesus Christ through prayer and evangelization.

MOTHER’S DAY BLESSING
Good and gracious God,
creator of all good things in the universe,
your Son, Jesus Christ,
loved his Mother and
modeled for us how we should
love our mothers.
Bless all the women in our lives
who model for us the love of a mother.
Protect them and encourage them
to love as you have loved us.
Bless and protect those men in families
who have no female partners
and give them courage and strength
to love their children in the
absence of a mother.
We ask all this in your name.
Amen.

which are separate for men and women, and the Holy Spirit is expected to do great things!
