“BIG BOOK, BIG BRAIN!!! small book, small brain!!!”, said my Professor.
Then my Quick Witted classmate said - “But Sir, NO Book, NO Brain.”
In my younger years, about 20 something pounds ago, our professor discovered we were reading a summarised version (300 pages) of 2 Big Books that were about 2000 pages EACH.
Why am I telling you this?
St. Jerome famously said, “Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ.”
And studying God’s word can be overwhelming. Not to mention the crazy busy schedule of the world we currently live in.
The Good News is - we’ve done some of that heavy lifting for you with our short videos of the Sunday Gospels here.
So don’t worry. Just do your Best. And God will do the Rest.

“The prayer of the humble pierces the cloud…” Sirach 35:21
In this Sunday’s parable, Jesus teaches us that Humility is the foundation of prayer.
In this day and age, it takes humility to believe that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. The latest Pew Research unfortunately show that only 31% of US Catholics believe in Transubstantiation.
May this beautiful Prayer Before Communion from Forte Catholic be an expression of our humble trust in Jesus.
Let us pray:
O Jesus, as I approach your altar to receive you in the Holy Eucharist, let me desire nothing but divine union with you. Stand guard over my heart. Defend mee against all distractions and attacks against my faith. Help me in my imperfect love to return love to you. Amen.

“If you want to deepen your prayer life, remember who you are talking to,” says Fr. Pete Literal, an old priest friend of ours in the community.
Growing up, I would see my Mom praying often at the foot of our altar at home.
One day, during my rebellious teenage years, she told me to keep praying to ask God for help with my problem. Then my young self said, “Why? I don’t think God hears my prayers.” I was discouraged at that time.
That made her cry. She said I hurt God’s feelings and I should say sorry to God for not trusting Him.
God loves us so much that even "if we are faithless, He remains faithful. For He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13
Help your family Know, Like and Trust God.
So that when they become teenagers and the storms of life come their way, they will keep praying and remain on solid rock.

Our daughter just started her religion classes for her upcoming First Holy Communion this school year.
It starts with the first 3 Blessed Videos from Dynamic Catholic here:
https://www.dynamiccatholic.com/plus/blessed/first-reconciliation-1-1.html
And in the 3rd video (Season 1, Episode 3), they teach that the Jewish Rabbi encourage their people to count their blessings and see if they can get to 100 (each day).
This Sunday, as we spend our Hour of Power at Mass, we are reminded to Thank God for all His blessings.

Have you watched the Minion movie, “The Rise of Gru”?
If you’re Catholic, there’s something you should know about this movie before you go with your children.
“The laughs provoked by screenwriter Matthew Fogel’s script come frequently and its emphasis on loyalty, teamwork and true friendship is pleasing. But the fact that the Vicious 6 numbers among its members a traditionally habited religious sister called — what else? — Nun-Chuck (voice of Lucy Lawless) may not sit well with some viewers.” (catholicnews.com)
A religious Nun is portrayed as one of the Villains. Her weapon is occasionally held in a Cross. And towards the end of the movie, she turns into a Snake. I felt disturbed by this.
Jeff Cavins in his Bible Study Timeline course has mentioned that if we don’t tell God’s story to our children … the World has its own story to tell.
You can teach God’s story to your kids with clean, good humor here.

Sunday Gospel Reflection May 15, 2022: There they strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, “It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22
Pop Quiz: How will everyone know that we are Jesus’ disciples?
A. When we love one another
B. When we sing in the shower
C. When we wash, brush and always flush
D. When we wear bug spray … and deodorant
The correct answer is A! When we love one another. 😊
Easier said than done, though, right? I find this especially hard when I’m tired, sleep deprived, not feeling well or hurting somewhere. The past couple of days, my left knee felt really swollen and going up and down the stairs has been challenging. I have to ask Mike to carry the laundry or toys because my knee wasn’t feeling stable. It’s now taking me twice as long to do things and it makes a big dent in the amount of time left for me to give to my family.
But I am inspired by a sharing by George Gabriel and his example keeps me going.
He was one of the Feast Servant Leaders in the past that has now moved abroad. I interviewed him a couple of years ago during the Pandemic and he tells me how he wakes up early in the morning to make sure he has everything ready for his wife and kids. And he also stays up late, sometimes until 12 midnight, to make sure the house is picked up and ready to go the next day. By sacrificing his time and doing chores when the family is still asleep, he’s able to spend more quality time with them when they’re awake.
I wish we didn’t have to go through all these hardships. But the reading states today, “It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22 When we sacrifice ourselves to love others, that’s when we bring the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Oremus.
Lord, today, we receive all of Your love for us. We let You love us. We let You heal and strengthen us. We let Your love protect us. Everything in our hearts that has gaps and needs love, please fill it with Your love. So that we can let that love overflow to those around us, especially our families. Amen.
Jesus in me loves you,
G.i.g.i.

Sunday Gospel Reflection:
“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.” - John 19:30-31
I remember a story about a kid caught in a house fire.
He was stuck in his room and his Dad was outside his 2nd floor window. His Dad told him to JUMP so he can be saved from the fire.
The boy was crying because he was scared. But his Dad reassured him and said ~
“Trust me. I’ll catch you.”
His son jumped and his Dad caught him!
In this day and age, I think having trust can be challenging.
But I remember this beautiful prayer I learned during one of our Feast Virtual Conference. It’s called the “Litany of Trust” from the Sisters of Life.
This Divine Mercy Sunday...no matter what you're going through...I invite all of us to say this prayer together so we can have peace in our hearts.
Litany of Trust by the Sisters of Life:
From the belief that I have to earn Your love
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear that I am unlovable
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the false security that I have what it takes
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear that trusting You will leave me more destitute
Deliver me, Jesus.
From all suspicion of Your words and promises
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the rebellion against childlike dependency on You
Deliver me, Jesus.
From refusals and reluctances in accepting Your will
Deliver me, Jesus.
From anxiety about the future
Deliver me, Jesus.
From resentment or excessive preoccupation with the past
Deliver me, Jesus.
From restless self-seeking in the present moment
Deliver me, Jesus.
From disbelief in Your love and presence
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of being asked to give more than I have
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the belief that my life has no meaning or worth
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the fear of what love demands
Deliver me, Jesus.
From discouragement
Deliver me, Jesus.
That You are continually holding me, sustaining me, loving me
Jesus, I trust in You.
That Your love goes deeper than my sins and failings
and transforms me
Jesus, I trust in You.
That not knowing what tomorrow brings
is an invitation to lean on You
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You are with me in my suffering
Jesus, I trust in You.
That my suffering, united to Your own,
will bear fruit in this life and the next
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You will not leave me orphan,
that You are present in Your Church
Jesus, I trust in You.
That Your plan is better than anything else
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You always hear me
and in Your goodness always respond to me
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You give me the grace
to accept forgiveness and to forgive others
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You give me all the strength I need for what is asked
Jesus, I trust in You.
That my life is a gift
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You will teach me to trust You
Jesus, I trust in You.
That You are my Lord and my God
Jesus, I trust in You.
That I am Your beloved one
Jesus, I trust in You.
Jesus in me loves you,
G.i.g.i.
