St. Stanislaus (1030-1079)
Anyone who reads the history of Eastern Europe cannot help but chance on the
name of Stanislaus, the saintly but tragic bishop of Kraków, patron of
Poland. He is remembered with Saints Thomas More and Thomas Becket for
vigorous opposition to the evils of an unjust government. Born in Szczepanow
near Kraków on July 26, 1030, he was ordained a priest after being educated
in the cathedral schools of Gniezno, then capital of Poland, and at Paris.
He was appointed preacher and archdeacon to the bishop of Kraków, where his
eloquence and example brought about real conversion in many of his
penitents, both clergy and laity. He became bishop of Kraków in 1072.

For today's Scriptures, follow this link: http://www.usccb.org/nab/

When I caught sight of him, I fell down at his feet as though dead. He
touched me with his right hand and said, ?Do not be afraid. I am the first
and the last, the one who lives. Once I was dead, but now I am alive forever
and ever. ~Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19

Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, ?Peace be with you.?
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples
rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ?Peace be with
you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.? ~John 20:19-31

Jesus died and rose and offers us Divine Mercy. He tells us not to be
afraid.  As he said to His disciples three times in our Gospel today he also
says to us, "Peace be with you."  It's a peace that can be with us in good
times and bad, in happiness and wholeness and in loss and sickness and
trouble.  God is with us always to offer us His enduring peace!

.=: P R A Y E R    F O R    T H E    D A Y :=.

I pray that I may know Divine Mercy.  I pray that I may live in peace and
know the Lord's presence with me no matter what life brings.

Member is asking for prayers for her daughter as she does not want her
mother in her life. J P requests prayers for a friend who suffers from
paranoia and severe insecurity, that if it is God's will, that she find some
peace and comfort. Member asks for prayers for grandson who has a drinking
problem.

Brian, who is long sober, asks for prayer support that The Lord would keep
him sober from his addictions. Matthew asks prayers for two special
intentions. 

We pray for the victims of the mine explosion and natural disasters. We pray
for those receiving Confirmation and First Communion, especially the second
graders in our CCD Program who will receive First Communion this weekend.

We pray for people suffering from natural disaster, especially those in
Haiti and Chile. We pray for great respect for life from natural conception
to natural death.  We pray for an end of terrorism and war, for the safety
of our troops and their families at home.

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat
