World Day of Prayer

for Vocations

Comfort in the

Arms of Our

Blessed Mother

Do you ever feel like

you could use some

help approaching God

in your prayers?

The Memorare is a

prayer that reminds us that we have a

wonderful advocate and protector in the

mother of our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In our prayers to her we honor and worship

her Son, who is more than happy to listen to

His mother’s pleas on our behalf.

The Memorare, printed below, invites us to

ask the Blessed Mother for her assistance and

her grace, especially when we feel most

troubled in our daily lives.

Prayer

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known that anyone who

fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or

sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee,

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I

come; before thee I stand, sinful and

sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy

hear and answer me. Amen.

Thank You, Thank You!!!

Thank you to those who have made donations

to St Elizabeth Parish for the equipment we

needed to purchase which allows us to stream

the Masses.

It was an expense we had not planned for but

it has allowed us to bring you the Masses in

your home. We feel it’s worth it!

One Million

Rosaries

for Unborn Babies

Begins Friday, May 1st

and continues through

Sunday, May 3rd, 2020

This annual pro-life prayer event began over

10 years ago and has received support from

many people over the years.

Even persons in nursing homes, homebound,

etc can participate in One Million Rosaries for

Unborn Babies so spread the word!

Please pray at least one Rosary (but the

more the better!) during May 1-3 for an end

to the surgical and non-surgical killing of

unborn human persons.

Thank you

What does it take for our eyes to be opened?

Every day, a man laboriously walks down the Main Street of town. With great difficulty but graceful determination, he

places one foot in front of the other, uses a crudely made staff for support, and walks. His pace is slow, but he walks.

What does he hope to see? Where does he want to go? What does he find? We all walk through life. The type of

“walking” life requires is not always physical but is most assuredly emotional and spiritual. We walk, we look, we

encounter, and we seek. How we do these things and what we actually find is determined by what we carry and what we

allow ourselves to discover along the way.

If walking is too challenging for us, we may choose to isolate and stay alone. If we are afraid to walk, we may become overly dependent on others

providing for us and abandon the journey. We can walk and pay attention only to what is in front of our feet and never notice the immensity of what is

happening around us. The road is never the same twice. The journey is always different. What kinds of things do you notice as you walk through life? It

seems that the disciples of the Road to Emmaus missed a lot at first. We do as well.

We are called to walk with purpose, to listen, and to notice things that may not at first be apparent. We have to allow the One who has a special claim

on our soul to enlighten, instruct, and inspire us. The incarnate mystery of God is pulsating in and through all of creation, where the presence of the

Word who became flesh can be discovered. He has been with us all along. How could we have missed Him? Our journey brings us back to the breaking

of the bread, and something begins to stir within us. We begin to understand, and things look differently. Bread, body, wine, and blood bring us to see

that everyone and everything is a “Eucharistic” encounter. We become what we eat and we see what we eat. We continue to walk. Our eyes are now

opened, and we recognize Him. Our hearts burn. Stay with us. Please stay with us.

Thank You from our St Vincent de Paul Conference

Thank you to the family & friends of:

Joann Maselli, Elizabeth Patterson, Kevin Shea

Eddie Meranti, Louis Ziter, Carmela Brazeau

Mary Jane Demaris, Barbara Couture, Arthur “Skip” Harrington

for your very generous donations to the St Vincent de Paul Ministry in their memory.

PLEASE NOTE:

We are still working to help others during this crisis through phone interviews.

Now more than ever there is a very real need. Thank you for all you do to help us.

The Week of April 26, 2020

In Loving Memory of

Deceased Parishioners

Take a Moment

Before you put this bulletin down please take a moment to read the cover

of our bulletin and see the sponsors that make our bulletin possible.

Please say thank you to them by supporting them whenever possible

and saying a prayer for them for their support of our parish.

Inspiration from

Pope Francis

Jesus' resurrection shows

us that death does not

have the last word; life

does.

Christ has been raised, so it is possible to

have a positive outlook on every event of our

existence, even the most difficult ones and

those charged with anguish and uncertainty.

Ways we can Prepare

for the Miracle of the Mass at Home

Dear Friends, many of us approach Mass in different ways. Here are a

few suggestions that may help to personalize the Mass for you. During

the week, take a moment to look at the Sunday readings. Is there a

word, line or message that jumps out? Reflect on that message in your

daily prayer leading up to weekend Mass. Then on the day of Mass,

plan time to quiet yourself. This will vary for everyone. Planning will help to avoid the stress and

angst of rushing. Before Mass begins, quiet your thoughts and your heart by offering praise,

thanksgiving for the blessings in your life; an apology for the hurts you have caused or the

opportunities that were lost to bring charity to another; and, ask our Lord to unite these with His

suffering and sacrifice that we celebrate in the wonder of the Mass.
