Catholic Faith Question and Answer Forum
The website:

you can explore just a little of the great mystery of our faith.
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. —1 Peter 3:15-16

Stewardship Reflections
April 18, 2021
3rd Sunday of Easter“Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and frightened…” - LUKE 24:36-37
Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus” to others. Do we take that opportunity to provide “peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of what others will think of us and do nothing? Pray for the strength and courage to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-centered” life.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
O my sweet Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all others and above all things. I earnestly desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, I pray
that you will please come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself to you with all my heart and soul.
I pray that you will never permit me to be separated from you. Amen
CONTRITION – Perfect and imperfect
IN THE ABSENCE OF CONFESSION. . . Remember your First Confession and being taught we must be sorry for our sins to be forgiven?
There are two types of sorrow (contrition) for sins.
-Imperfect Contrition -- focus on ourselves, fear of even greater punishment. –
Perfect Contrition -- focuses on the Other. Not the fear of hell, rather offending One who is all-loving. Perfect Contrition focuses on the relationship rather than the sin, the Redeemer rather than oneself.
Why seek out the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
-Personal abandonment to the Mercy and Grace of God
What about now with the pandemic and “shelter in place?” - Rely on the words of Psalm 103:8, “Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in mercy.”
- With Perfect Contrition, seek the Lord.
- Allow His Grace to penetrate the core of your being.
-Earnestly pray an Act of Contrition. - Resolve to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible.
-Continue to restore your relationship with the Lord.
-Be confident that His Love is greater than our offenses; His mercy is everlasting.
