WHYWEKEEPTHECOMMANDMENTS

A Christian is a disciple of the Lord who keeps his commandments, and if

not… Jesus has said openly: He cannot be my disciple.

A Christian seeks God’s will, the happiness of others, and… the

Church’s presence in today’s world. A Christian loves the cross of Christ and carries it in his or her life. A Christian

is a living Credo, continuing Jesus’ work here on earth, and making the

song of hope resound in the midst of the world’s trials.

Whatever difficulties may arise, the Christian remains God’s heir.

For love of Christ, a Christian accepts hatred if it comes…

The Holy Spirit dwells in and enlightens a Christian.

A Christian who is continually renewed makes Jesus’ revolution of love alive in

his or her life. With the Church, a Christian lives the Passion of Christ in union with Mary, in the midst of critics, opposition, and that suffering which is destructive.

In a word, a Christian is a faithful reproduction of the life of Christ who causes all who see him or her to say, “There is Christ!”

An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this

moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

PRAYERKNEELERSFORSEMINARIANSTo be rescheduled in May Queen of Heaven, pray for our priests… Our Charlotte Diocese has two seminarians, Deacons Jacob Mlakar and Jonathan Torres who will be ordained priests on June 22 this year. St. John the Baptist is privileged and excited to have their prayer kneelers here at a date to be determined, hopefully soon. Thank you for your patience.

The Year of St. Joseph Prayer To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our

afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your

patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to

regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and

strength to aid us in our necessities.

O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty

protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.

As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and

to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen. — Pope Leo XIII, 1839

INTHESTJOHNCATHOLICSHOPPE:Saint Joseph Prayer Book, $10—English & a few Spanish available. Included in this book are passport-style pages. As the faithful make these personal pilgrimages to St. Joseph parishes, they can find “passport stamps” at each of the Churches to stamp their booklets throughout the year. The goal is to visit every St. Joseph church/chapel in the diocese during this special year. There are a total of nine parishes.
