“If you are discouraged it is

a sign of pride because it

shows you trust in

your own power.

Your self-sufficiency, your

selfishness and your

intellectual pride will inhibit

His coming to live in your

heart because God cannot fill

what is already full.”

~ Mother Teresa

“The Lord of mercy always

forgives me; He always offers me the

possibility of starting over. He loves me

for what I am, He wants to raise me up,

and extends His hand.”

~ Pope Francis

Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, Eternal High Priest, live in

(name of priest), speak in and through

him. Think your thoughts in his mind,

love through his heart. Give him your

own dispositions and feelings. Teach, lead and guide him always. Correct, enlighten and

expand his thoughts and behavior. Possess his soul;

take over his entire personality and life. Replace

him with yourself. Incline him to constant adoration and thanksgiving; pray in and through him. Let him

live in you and keep him in this intimate union

always. O Mary, Immaculate Conception, Mother of

Jesus and Mother of priests, pray and intercede for

(…) Amen.

Risen Jesus, shed the scales from our eyes, grown weary at the Cross

and impatient in suffering. When we have become resigned to dying,

shake us awake to your victory over the grave. Transform us so we can come to

the tomb, looking for the Resurrection. Amen.

We are having a Relics Tour at St. Augustine Church in Montpelier.

Fr. Carlos tours the world with 150 relics of saints from long ago and recent times. Included in these relics are a piece of the Blessed Mother's veil and one of the larger pieces of the True Cross. This is an event not to be missed. There have been many healings during these tours. Please tell your friends about this opportunity. We

signed up to have this tour come to our parish 4 years ago. It will not be in our area again for at least another 5 years.

Easter Poem

Jesus came to earth.

To show us how to live.

How to put others first.

How to love and how to give.

Then He set about His work.

That God sent Him to do.

He took our penalty on Himself.

He made us clean and new.

He could have saved Himself.

Calling angels from above.

But He chose to pay our cost for sin.

He gave it out of love.

A Jelly Bean Prayer

Black is for our sins— the

wrong things we have do.

Red is for Jesus’ blood— He

shed for everyone.

White is for a clean heart— when

In Jesus we believe.

Gold is for the streets in Heaven

promised when Jesus we

receive.

Green is for growing; hide His

Word in your heart. Put

your trust in Jesus— give

your life a brand new start!
