Because of Jesus death is nothing to fear if our life is lived for God. The prayer continues, "for you we live and die until we enter the life which never ends, when we shall glorify and praise you, forever. Amen." We die to sin daily that we may live for Christ daily. Both our living and our dying are to be steps toward Him. Christ has given us His life and love and died for us, by His grace we ought to live and die. ABOUT MOTHER’S DAY MAY 10 At both Liturgies, Father will present his gift to all our Moms. Before both Liturgies, Father Bill wants to invite all Mom’s, all Families, and everyone near and far to come together to pray a special Rosary for all our families and their special intentions. Before the first Mass, Rosary begins at 8:00 am. Before the 2nd Mass, Rosary begins at 10:30 am. Please come early before the Liturgy so we can pray this special Rosary together. After both Liturgies, All Mom’s will be served refreshments & coffee, tea or hot chocolate at their tables to honor you in a special way. All other guests are invited to serve themselves. ******************************************** Can you fill in the blank?
