5th  SUNDAY of EASTER
April 24, 2005
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We who are followers of Jesus are called not only to believe in Him and to share the good news of salvation with others, we are also expected to do what Jesus did.   We all know the list is quite long:  heal the sick, comfort the afflicted, protect the weak & vulnerable, embrace the poor, eat with sinners, defend the rights of the oppressed, denounce injustice, and more.  The task becomes more daunting because we are sinners.  We may believe but without the power & endless love that form the essence of the Son of God, how is it possible to do greater works than Jesus did?   People in Africa have a saying, “The path is made by walking.” Each time we show our faith by doing the things that Jesus did, we take another step toward being better believers than we were before.

HUNDREDS OF CANADIANS NEED BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS to treat potentially life–threatening illnesses.  Fewer than 30% will find a family member who is compatible.  For the rest, an unrelated donor is the only available source of bone marrow.  George Teves (husband of the vice-principal at St Martha School) is one of these people who need an unrelated donor.  If you’re interested in becoming a donor contact your local blood services at 1-888-236-6283 or http://www.bloodservices.ca go to Bone Marrow.
