A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS By the late
John J Cardinal Carberry
Keep them; I pray Thee, dearest Lord.
Keep them, for they are Thine
The priests whose lives burn out before
Thy consecrated shrine.
Keep them, for they are in the world,
Though from the world apart.
When earthly pleasures tempt, allure -
- Shelter them in Thy heart.
Keep them and comfort them in hours
Of loneliness and pain,
When all their life of sacrifice
For souls seems but in vain.
Keep them and remember, Lord,
they have no one but Thee.
Yet, they have only human hearts,
With human frailty.
Keep them as spotless as the Host,
That daily they caress;
Their every thought and word and deed,
Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.

You need to remember this fact! –
The Bible is a Catholic book!
The Catholic Church gave it to the world! And you can rest assured,
that the Catholic faith can be defended – on purely biblical grounds
– much better than any non–Catholic
Christian faith could ever be.
The Church is the pillar and foundation of "Truth".
FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME"
Jesus "is" our friend and Savior!
Jesus departed from there and came to his native place,
accompanied by his disciples.
When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue,
and many who heard him were astonished.
They said, "Where did this man get all this?
What kind of wisdom has been given him?
What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands!
Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary,
and the brother of James and Joses and Judas
and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?"
And they took offense at him.
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor
except in his native place and among his own kin
and in his own house." So he was not able
to perform any mighty deed there,
apart from curing a few sick people
by laying his hands on them.
He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Alleluia!
"That they may become one even as We are One."
In the Old Testament Law, no man was to appear in Temple empty handed. That is, he was always supposed to bring an offering in thanksgiving for all his family had received. After all, everything is a gift from God. At the time of Jesus, the Temple also charged all the male Jews a yearly tax, in order to pay for upkeep of the buildings. Saint Paul does not charge the Corinthians a tax, but rather exhorts them to support the mission of the church in other areas. In this kind of giving, the Christian becomes more like Christ, who emptied Himself so that we could ultimately share in His divinity. Jesus called it putting your treasure in heaven.

ST. MICHAEL'S FOOD PANTRY Bob Mione (Food Pantry): Always need more volunteers. Some volunteers take off every other week from their jobs, and the bosses consider it community service. Want to make donations? Make checks out to the Food Pantry if you want to donate.
CONGRATULATIONS ! !
This year, the Scouts, OF TROOP 548 under the direction of Chris Fowler and other dedicated volunteers, collected more than 8 tons of food. That is correct, 16,000 pounds of food was collected for the Food Pantry! This collection of canned items will go a very long way to help feed the needy who pass through St. Michael Food Pantry.
Job well done, Troop 548!
The Pantry is always in need of canned meats, like Spam, canned dinners, such as Beef Ravioli or Beef Stew, macaroni and cheese, and diapers.
Please place donations in the baskets located in the Narthex just outside the sanctuary doors.
See Robert Mione at 214-534-1900. Can you give some of your time to the pantry? Distribution of food is from 9:00/11:30am. Bring a friend....there are many angels at the pantry praying all the time.
Thank you!!
Mother Teresa helped the poor, let's help too.

Claimed to be the Church's oldest Prayer to Our Lady:
O Mother of God, We take refuge in your loving care.
Let not our pleas to you pass unheeded in the trials
that beset us, but deliver us from danger,
for you alone are truly pure,
you alone are truly blessed.
Amen!
Wanted! young people to offer their lives to Christ!
.....Pray for Vocations and the Priesthood.
Come join the Army of priests never before seen in the history of the world. Satan is in the world reeking spiritual havoc, and our priests are on the front lines defending our holiness through Jesus Christ our Lord. Call Fr. Joseph for information.
Parishoners,
Below is a message from Karen Garnett of the Catholic Pro Life Committee. Please do whatever you can to assist the CPLC with their life saving mission.
Bishop Farrell reminds us that "the more we do, the more that is asked of us”, and "The Knights are examples for the Catholic community". Without us who would do the work?
God's blessings!

A Call to Alms
Dear Knights of Columbus in Dallas,
Along with defending and spreading the Catholic Faith, there is no more noble a task for the Knights than supporting women and children in need. Your local councils have a special opportunity to meet a critical need for the most vulnerable, those in danger of abortion, which kills an average of 50 children a day in Dallas and deeply wounds their mothers. The Catholic Pro-Life Committee needs help to close an urgent funding gap of $95,000 by June 30. The Bishop’s 16th Annual Catholic Pro-Life Dinner in March to benefit the CPLC was a success, to be sure, but this event still only provides 40 percent of the needed annual income for the CPLC’s nine life-saving ministries of education, supportive services, civic action, prayer and public witness. Additionally, many of the dinner donations are pledges that will be paid out over the year. The CPLC finds itself in need of funds right now to close this gap and start the new year (July 1) on solid footing, and so we are appealing to you, strong Catholic men and leaders in the community, to help. If each council could prayerfully consider sharing with the CPLC a portion of any available funds which have been raised this year for good works in the community, or even consider holding an extra pancake breakfast or spaghetti dinner, the Knights will help this model diocesan organization continue its good and necessary work serving Bishop Farrell in building a culture of life in our midst. Please be as generous as you can in supporting the local pro-life effort. Checks may be mailed to: CPLC, PO Box 59852, Dallas, TX 75229. To learn more about the CPLC, visit www.prolifedallas.org. If you have any questions, please contact Ellen Rossini, Development Director, 972-571-8705, or erossini@prolifedallas.org.
Sunday, April 13,was the Annual World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Even though this day has passed it is still an opportunity for all Catholics to raise their awareness of the need for men and women to say yes to their vocations, especially if one is called to the priesthood or religious life.
We know the difference that one good priest can make. Raise awareness and get involved.
is in need of your left-over in-date food and paper items. "Before you go out and buy something for the Food Pantry. Please remember that Mr. Mione is able to obtain most items given to the needy through warehouse prices. Your donation of the same money to the food pantry gets "more to the poor" approximately 4x more.
"Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"
