3nd Sunday of Easter

In this first reading we hear that Peter asks those that rejected Jesus to repent.  He saw that they acted in ignorance.  Hopefully we will never be accused of rejecting Jesus because of our ignorance.  If we do not understand our faith we need to make it a priority to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church or other good spiritual books to learn more about our faith.

Prayer for Vocations

O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests,
deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making you known & loved by all.  Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen
