A P R I L 2 9 , 2 0 1 8

Acts 9:26-31 Ps. 22 1 Jn. 3:17-24 Jn. 15:1-8

R. This is his commandment: we should believe in Jesus and love one another.

We too are commanded today to bear good fruits as His disciples, so

that our lives give glory to God. Like Paul’s life, our lives must bear

witness to His goodness. Jesus cautions us, however, that if we’re

bearing fruit, we can expect that God will “prune” us—as a gardener

trims and cuts back a plant so that it will grow stronger and bear even

more fruit. He is teaching us today how to look at our sufferings and

trials with the eyes of faith. We need to see our struggles as pruning,

by which we are being disciplined and trained so that we can grow

in holiness and bear fruits of righteousness (Hebrews 12:4–11).

We need to always remain rooted in Him, as today’s Epistle tells us.

We remain in Him by keeping His commandment of love,

by pondering His words, letting them dwell richly in us (Colossians

3:16), and by always seeking to do what pleases Him. In everything we

must be guided by humility, remembering that apart from Him we can

do nothing. As we sing in today’s Psalm, we must fulfill our vows,

turning to the Lord in worship, proclaiming his praises, until all

families come to know His justice in their lives.

We thank Fr. Michael Chaberek O.P. who celebrated Masses during Fr. Tad’s absence.

PARTNERS IN CATHOLIC EDUCATION

During Holy Mass, after the two-fold consecration, the host was

changed into live Flesh and the wine was changed into live Blood,

which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape

and size. The Host-Flesh, as can be very distinctly observed today, has

the same dimensions as the large host used today in the Latin church; it

is light brown and appears rose-colored when lighted from the back.

In 1970-'71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a

scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo

Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and

in Chemistry and Clinical Microscopy. He was assisted by Prof.

Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena. The analyses were

conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and

they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs.

These analyses sustained the following conclusions:

• The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood.

• The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.

• The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart.

• In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the

endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of

the heart for the large thickness of the myocardium.

• The Flesh is a "HEART" complete in its essential structure.

• The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood-type: AB

(Blood-type identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone

uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin).

• In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal

proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic

make-up of the fresh normal blood.

• In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides,

phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium.

• The preservation of the Flesh and of the Blood, which were

left in their natural state for twelve centuries and exposed to

the action of atmospheric and biological agents, remains an

extraordinary phenomenon.

2018 PARISH CAMPAIGN-SHARELIFE - May 27 Living the Gospel by helping newcomers to Canada

Angie moved to Canada to marry a man she met online. He was not

who he seemed; she endured emotional and

physical abuse. While he was at work, she started attending language

classes at Catholic Crosscultural Services.

Staf at CCS connected her with a settlement worker in the women’s

program. Angie received the support she

needed to exit her violent relationship and live independently, free from

abuse. Angie is one of over 3,000 clients

helped annually by CCS programs funded by ShareLife..
