Hello everyone,
Diocesan Presidents please forward this to your parish councils. Thank you.
As you know the month of May is devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and we focus on praying the rosary.
Shari Guinta, National Spiritual Development Chairperson stated in her 11th communique:
" The Vatican announced a rosary initiative dedicating the month of May to pray for the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization said that “for the deep desire of the Holy Father, the month of May will be dedicated to a prayer marathon with the theme ‘Prayer to God went up incessantly from the whole Church.’” Catholic shrines worldwide will focus on this endeavour and be involved in leading the rosary, which will be live-streamed daily at noon EST. The month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Pope Francis will begin the month with a prayer to Mary asking for her intercession. The Holy Father stated, “The pandemic has made no distinctions and has hit people of all cultures, creeds, social and economic strata.”"

Webinar on Palliative Care Saturday, May 8, 2021
The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is pleased to offer a webinar session on palliative care during National Hospice and Palliative Care Week, May 3-9, 2021. Due to the passing of recent federal legislation that expands the availability of Canadians to access medical assistance in dying, it is important to be educated about palliative care and how Catholics can maintain their faith beliefs respecting life from birth to natural death.
Simone Stenekes is a clinical nurse specialist with the palliative care program of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Simone has been working in palliative care for over 21 years. In her current role Simone cares for patients and their families, acts as a resource to health care teams, provides education and also is involved in research.

Humility and Gratitude
May 2, 2021
Fifth Sunday of Easter (Year B)
Fifth Sunday of Easter (Year B)
“I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
What a great little reminder...“Without me you can do nothing.”
At first, hearing this may hurt. It may hurt our pride, and we may react to this idea negatively. Is it really true? Can we really do nothing without God? Obviously the answer to that is “Yes.” Jesus does not lie. We can do nothing without God in our lives.
In fact, if God were to forget us for one moment, we would cease to exist. Even our very existence depends upon God continuing to will that we exist. And as for doing good, making a difference, having a productive life, etc., we can do nothing good without God’s grace.
Though this may be hard to hear at first, we should ponder it regularly. And if we do ponder it and embrace this truth, two things will happen in our souls. First, we will grow in humility. Humility is the most important virtue in which we can grow. It’s been referred to as “the mother of all virtues.” This is because from this virtue, all other virtues flow. Humility means we realize that God is everything and that we need Him with a 100% need. This humble truth will enable us to seek God in all things and to invite Him deeply into every part of our lives.
A second thing that will happen in our souls when we realize that we can do nothing without God is that we will grow in gratitude. As we see that God is everything AND we begin to see that He provides us with constant grace in our lives, our only appropriate response will be “Thank you!” We will be grateful to God for everything because we will realize that everything that is good is a gift from Him.
Reflect, today, upon these truths of humility and gratitude and allow them to sink in. As you do, allow these virtues to grow to greater fruition in your life.
Lord, I do believe that I can do nothing without You. Help me to believe this with an even greater conviction and, as I do, help me to grow in humility and gratitude. Jesus, I trust in You.
Wishing you all a wonderful week,
Anne
