KIND (Kids in Need of Defense) offers in terms of legal support to unaccompanied
minors.                                                                                              Wednesday:
                                                                                                       Acts 8:1b-8
Take a look at the International Rescue Committee, Catholic Relief Services and                        Ps 66
Doctors without Borders and their work in Yemen and Syria.                                             Jn 6:35-40
And in our own city of Oakland look at St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Charities and the
Alameda County Community Food Bank.                                                                  Thursday:
                                                                                                       Acts 8:26-40
Remember to donate to our own St. Vincent de Paul food basket in the church vestibule                  Ps 66
and contact them for much needed men’s clothing for the downtown shelter.                              Jn 6:44-51
During this Easter time let us pray for what our baptism really calls us to…
”feed my sheep.”                                                                                     Friday:
                                                                                                       Acts 9:1-20
Stay tuned for our next social justice committee projects. Join us at our next meeting on              Ps 117

Adult: What questions about Jesus still arise in the midst of your faith ?                             Jn 6:60-69
Child: What question would you like to ask someone about Jesus' appearance to the
Apostles ?                                                                                           Sunday:

Key Passage: “Jesus said to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts                           Ps 118
arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself." (Luke                    1 Jn 3:1-2
24:38–39)                                                                                              Jn 10:11-18

PRAYER FOR A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

            My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
             I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
                 Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
                               Come spiritually into my heart.
                         I embrace you as if you were already there
                               And unite myself wholly to you.
                              Never permit me to be separated
                                          from you.
                                            Amen.
