Easter: May 15th
Fifth Sunday of Easter Weekly Reflection: My dear Lord, You were betrayed by the kiss of one of Your closest friends. But in Your perfect wisdom, You saw this betrayal as the perfect opportunity to glorify the Father through Your mercy and forgiveness. Lord, I also have betrayed You countless times. For that reason I am sorry. But I thank You for loving me and forgiving me with Your Heart of perfect mercy. Help me to receive that mercy and to offer it to others who have sinned against me. Jesus, I trust in You. Reflexión semanal: Mi querido Señor, fuiste traicionado por el beso de uno de tus amigos más cercanos. Pero en Tu perfecta sabiduría, viste esta traición como la oportunidad perfecta para glorificar al Padre a través de Tu misericordia y perdón. Señor, yo también te he traicionado innumerables veces. Por eso lo siento. Pero te agradezco por amarme y perdonarme con Tu Corazón de perfecta misericordia. Ayúdame a recibir esa misericordia y ofrecerla a otros que han pecado contra mí. Jesús, en Ti confío. Please pray for the souls of:
