Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the

world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their

lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

March 30 Rev. Thomas James, SVD, VE March 31 Rev. Johnathan Janise April 1 Pope Francis April 2 Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI April 3 Bishop Michael Jarrell April 4 Rev. Rofinus Jas, SVD April 5 Rev. Bart Jasilek, SVD

"A Christian can never be sad. Never give way to discourage-ment. We are never alone, even at difficult moments, even at difficult moments when our life's journey comes up against problems and obstacles that seem insurmountable, and there are so many of them. Jesus does not enter the Holy City to receive the honors reserved to earthly kings, to the powerful, to rulers; he enters to be scourged, insulted and abused. His royal throne is the wood of the cross. Jesus takes upon himself the evil, the filth, the sin of the world, including our own sin and he cleanses it, he cleanses it with his blood, with the mercy and the love of God.”

Pope Francis
